FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

FWIW, the FW3A can run a clone of ZebraLight’s 2016 UI too, if you reflash the driver. It’s in the FSM repository under “DarkHorse”.

It took only a single afternoon to implement ZL’s UI.

Thanks ToyKeeper (and the rest of the team) for your work on the FW3A. I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished torch, and then probably flashing Anduril onto everything that can run it.

I’d like to give a +1 to MascaratumB’s suggestion of blinks at point C and D, but I also have a question. When you reach reach either the minimum or maximum ramping level, does the light simply stop adjusting, or does it start ramping back in the other direction?

I would like to be on the list for a second light.

Wow! I might have take up smoking weed (again) :question:

It stops. To ramp again, release the button and hold it again.

At the top end, it can sometimes be difficult to tell when it stopped. OTOH, it can also sometimes be difficult to see the blink at the top end, particularly when looking into the distance outside.

Your name is already there, N° … 804 and 805

In for one please.

BC blinks. As you said, bottom and top of the ramp are pretty obvious anyway. But as long as they can be changed at compile time I’m good with anything.

This would be my frst time to join a BLF specials product prior to release… Count me in for one.

Thanks to pepin for taking care of the interest list!

ABCD for me.

So this will have lightning and candle blinkies? Is party strobe the one that makes movements look slow motion, and will this have that too?

Hi,
can you put me on the list for 2 pcs?
I asked some 20 days ago but still can’t find myself on the list.
Thanks

When will the list be updated?
I signed up a few months ago.
The list hasn’t been updated ever since.

I can’t find myself on the list.

For me option B and C please.

Thanks

Ps: i allready love the ui

I like moon and max. Like my photon freedom. :slight_smile:

I like the blink at moon because the Crescendo UI ramps down and up without stopping. and I like to know when I reach the bottom of the same reasons people like to know when the top is reached. Don’t like to press again to make sure.

The B/C option sounds reasonable, Thats just my preference; to many blinks would be annoying.

ABCD blinks.
One thing I don’t like about ramping firmware is not knowing where I am, how much power is being used.
Blinks at these stages help greatly.

Personally I like the blinks at A and D. C would be helpful to know when you are leaving/entering full regulation. I don’t think b is really needed as you can just have it where you need/want it

If you are ramping up and hit the C point are people actually quick enough to stop it before it ramps over? I have a habit of redoing contact with the tail on the D4 to make sure it’s at a regulated level.

My preference is no blinks. Maybe a blink at D but definitely no mid-ramp blinks. Ramping UIs are much cooler when you can smoothly go from moonlight to max.

I think if there was a ‘shortcut’ to a known regulated level, ie 150lm, does that negate the need for blinks for some users?

Just my 2c though, naturally you should do whatever gets most votes.

Put me in for one please. Thanks
