I wonder when the FW3A will go on sale. 3 months? 6 months?

I keep hearing about The Miller’s ‘absence’… Where did he go??

The Miller runs a bed and breakfast in France and had a lot of repairs and work to do on his property as winter approached which took a lot of this time. Then he took ill for a couple of weeks and got behind on the three group buys that he was running simultaneously. On the GT thread alone there were 1800 new posts in 3 weeks. I personally think that he got a taste of what it’s like to not be weighed down by all the stuff on blf. It’s refreshing. Lol

Around Christmas time he posted back that he was feeling better and was going to try and catch up on all the threads, but he never did. We told him not to try that as it’s too much work and we would give him notes of the important stuff. That way he could just join back in. Then he dissappeared again. He seems to be just living life with his wife and son. I can’t blame him for that.

He’s not on social media, but his wife is, and everything seems to be okay with him.

Thanks for responding. It’s good to know and I didn’t want to come across nosy. He’s just a big part of the forum and it’s good to know he’s ok. Glad he’s taking time with his family. He’s been so freakin’ busy with some HUGE group buys lately; sounds like a healthy choice.

Thanks again for filling me in.

He has done A LOT. I wish him the best, and hope he returns in whatever capacity, whenever he is ready. How would would keep up with his wife on social media, if it is okay to ask?

Question for those that use a pocket clip… do you put the light inside your pocket with only the clip showing outside or the opposite of that?

Usually I have no pockets. However, a light can be clipped to a purse or, when wearing an outfit with more than one piece, at the waist.

For example:

That looks great Toykeeper.

When can I get my FW3A?

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

TK, the FW3A can be done that way relatively safely as the clip is clamped on by the tail cap, but one of the snap on style clips would be much more prone to lose the light in that carry style. (Goddesses have better fortune than some of us mere mortals so you probably wouldn’t have to worry about it either way)

Been out of the forum a lot myself recently, coming back in and seeing the sleeker design cues it looks pretty good. Not sure why I took the stance I took earlier, grouchy in my old age I guess… my apologies to all concerned.

Question for those that use a pocket clip… do you put the light inside your pocket with only the clip showing outside or the opposite of that? To me it makes no sense to have the flashlight outside the pocket where it could get snagged and ripped off the clip, lost or broken. My son-in-law carries his X6 with the light outside, or used to, back when he used it frequently during his night shift.

In the same sense that a folding pocket knife with a clip goes inside the pocket, displaying only the clip, I carry a small flashlight clip out, light protected inside the pocket.

If I’m wearing pants with a pocket down the side of the leg I’ll have the light in / pocket clip out. Otherwise hip pockets are uncomfortable for any sort of bending, squatting, sitting (car included). I don’t wear jackets much but don’t use the clip on the rare occasion I have a light in a jacket. So I usually hang the light outside the pocket or on the belt.

Hi, thanks for helping put this together. I'd be interested in one please!

Has been a while. So far it looks like BCD or just C, depending on where the threshold is placed. The current firmware implements BCD, so it looks like probably no change.

[808Hi]

Can I be added to list for 3.
Thank you

TK - I’m not sure what the difference (in lumens) is between C and D but one of those would be my preference :disguised_face:

The floor and ceiling are configurable. By default, C and D are the same… but the user can configure the ceiling to be higher or lower than default.

Similarly, one could also set the floor level A to be above level B… but I doubt anyone would want to.

You should be #355 and #770.

Soon they should combine the 2 interest lists and put it in post #1.
