Awesome review :sunglasses:
So we’ll have to put up with yet another boring destruction with a hammer? Come on Lexel, don’t disappoint us like that….
Make a sabot and launch it from a Leopard 2 tank, that should ensure high speed impact testing, and spectacular slow motion footage, cuz i want to see the sabot peel away to reveal the flashlight 
And i am sure the bundeswehr would be helpful
wonderful
viele danke
comparing with TN42 and MK35 would be interesting )
Mauuka has one review light as well and he also owns a TN42, so he can compare
Great review!
Disappointed in the driver quality. 
Yeah the Astrolux MF02 driver is more sophisticated with better parts
I hope they change driver for production run
The last light I had with flickering output was a Klarus XT11GT which died after a few weeks with electronic crisp smell
made a NarsilM design for it
Niwalker BK-FA30S
added 3 pads for the auxillary switches,
one providing 5V for the Turbo switch
one sets multiples the current by 10 or goes to Turbo
the other divides the current by 10
Nice driver! Will you make it? I would like one! 
I have ordered 3 prototype boards from Oshpark
I got yesterday the MF02 ones that have a little design error but nothing dramatically, same on the Niwalker Prototype
I got here the TN42 driver that fits the Niwalker light, but they do not support the auxillary switches
I need to test them but I am pretty sure they will work, so I got 2 boards left
One of the two to me. PM sent…
I changed the LED to one of my XHP35-E2-3C
the throw did almost not increase so I assume they use a CW E2 or very good D4 flux bin
the bezel is not glued, not sure if this will be on production lights as well, as they wrote on my suggestion to thermal epoxy the head and middle piece together that in Production it will be glued on that spot
The reflector is deep
nice square cur threads on bezel
Thermal paste is an uniform thin layer with little air pockets, that pattern comes from removing the board and prooves thats a thin layer
Back of the MCPCB is perfectly flat
Also the heads shelf is pretty flat with a good surface finish looks roughter than it is
reflowing NW LED
using thermal epoxy to bond head and middle for better heat transfer
What epoxy improves your thermal transfer over that of a good paste?
I see light on the end of the tunnel, of course not so good that actual BL frmwares are single switch, but I can use em to momentary stup up or step down current manipulating the MCU output channels
The my Niwalker is on the way… I hope this will be perfect with the your driver!
I had today the opportunity to compare the NW GT driver modded Niwalker with a CW GT driver modded Thrunite TN42
all pictures 50m from target
a bit overexposed on the first shot
reduced ISO on camera for control shot
zoomed iout both lights
TN42 CW
I’ve received the this flashlight today.
I like the handling of 3 programmable buttons and the lamp brightness!
I compared this with the TN42.
My lux meter is not accurate, but it’s good for comparison.
I measured lux from 9.2 meters:
Not moded TN42: 612100cd
Not moded BK-FA30S: 559150cd
I can’t see this difference with my eye, and the usability with 3 buttons is very good!
What are the annoying red/green LEDs on the battery tube for?
Not necessarily a question!!
The light has the same electronics as the reviewed by Lexel,or better with the suggested changes?
