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

Im in for one of these. Seems like a neat light to add to my collection. Anduril in a nice, clean triple EDC sounds awesome.

The clear ano will be really nice too.

Looks cool! I’m in for one if not too late.

I like the bead blasted version better.
You get also a better anodisation. Without, the ano tend to chip off on sharp edges. Blasting remove burrs and rounds edges a bit. It covers also scratches.
A skilled machinist deburrs his stuff. With the automated machining stations and no blasting we maybe get sharp edges?

However the FW3A has a clear ano you wil see a worn ano barely.

how left until we can purchase the light?

sorry i have not follow this thread last several months :innocent:

It will probably take a while to be able to do that mate! The project has not fully advanced, some details are still to decide! Let’s cross the fingers :wink:

@ FW3A Team, I sent “you” a PM :wink:

Will be looking for your reply whenever it is possible!! Thanks in advance!! :sunglasses:

I don’t think anyone actually checks that… or even logs in at all, except on rare occasions to post progress updates or edit the top post. It may get used more later, but for now it’s mostly a placeholder.

Interest list updated.

It also handles cancellations now, and has had known cancellations applied. Request numbers may have shifted.

Just stumbled here. Interested.

I didn’t read every page.

What is the IP rating expected to be?

And will there be a 18350 body?

:smiley:

There is no IP rating specified,
but front lens and head has an o-ring. The switch IMHO has a membrane.

No short tube planned at the moment.

I think this lamp is worth buying of the user interface alone.

In for 2

Thanks TK for the answer! I also thought that but still, I tried !
Shall I PM Fritz or and “individual” member to place my questions, then?

Thank you :+1:

interested if not too late….

Have payment method been determined yet? Will be Paypal / Western Union only again?

I’m just curious, not sure if this has been answered.

The FW3A main selling point seems to be the driver firmware (Anduril?).

But I was wondering if there’s an approximate CRI value for the 3x XP-G3s?

I don’t think they have decided on what exact led to use yet.

The payment methods aren’t yet determined.

The LED details aren’t yet determined.

There are no plans to make an 18350 version.

The main selling points, off the top of my head:

  • Tail e-switch.
  • Unusually small for an 18650 light — about the size of a SK-68 (1xAA).
  • Bare-looking lathe-like finish, hopefully.
  • Wide range from ~0.3 lm to ~3000 lm.
  • Fancy yet easy UI.
  • Regulated output up to ~1000 lm.
  • Nice clip firmly attached.
  • Good ergonomics.

It’s not just one thing… it’s meant to be a good all-around EDC light, something to be used heavily.

And I think if it sells well, they might make it from titanium, brass, or copper in the future. I’m looking forward to those.

Admins-
I’m 947 on request/interest list for one unit. If I still have time, please add another for a total of two units.
Thanks

You people are amazing!
Could I please put my name down for one if it’s not too late?

Please add me for 1 more. 2 total. I am 494 on list already.

This is going to be a great light with this firmware and a tail clicky!

Just an FYI: I don’t think it’s going to be a tail clicky in the traditional sense, but a tail mounted contact that operates it. Similar to Liteflux, Novatac, or HDS.
Sorry if I’m stating something you already knew, there have been a lot of updated threads about lighted tailswitches lately and I wouldn’t want you to get your hopes up for this being a candidate.
Or, and this is certainly a possibility, I’m completely wrong.
