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

Which is why your comment didn’t make sense.

I asked to be added to the list for one at post #1970.
Checking back in 5 months later to say I’m still interested in one.
Thanks
Russ

You are still on the list at #852.

Despite being 1/4 Welsh (my middle name is Wynne) to my shame I don’t speak the lingo. The UK is really quite a diverse country with several languages. English being the common denominator, which helps.

Swearing and cursing is fairly universal though, even if we don’t quite understand each other the meaning gets across…

Well, I know of a few stand-up comedians across the big pond. If you could filter out all the rude words from their shows, you would be looking for a stand-in comedian to fill the time after the break.

Edit: I do enjoy watching “A night at the Apollo”.

Suddenly I have seven Rude points.

Perhaps some don’t get satire, it’s not as if I burned the flag, just jested a bit about the POTUS.

Ah well.

I joined BLF for this. 1 for me please.

It is well known that satire is not understood by everyone, and on the internet you are in fact talking to everyone. So part of your communication arsenal, however fun and harmless, may better be reserved for one’s own friends/part of the world. Or else live with a couple of rude points every now and then :smiley:

Don’t quit your day job. It sounds pretty lucrative even with the brain damage.

There’s no need for jabs at each other.

Thanks for confirming I’m on the list
I did try to find my name without success, that’s why
I mentioned it again on here.
Thanks again!

But then, sometimes there is :partying_face:

I wish. semi-retired. Aerospace is in a poor state at the moment. Rolls Royce just announced 4600 layoffs today, which is very bad.

And our first batch of F35s got delayed due to stormy weather over the Atlantic :person_facepalming:
Still, here’s some classic AC/DC to keep our spirits up whilst we wait:

Let there be light!

Only if your setting him up for a right cross followed by a left upper cut!

Wow, people, we are soooo offtopic
I hope we get an FW3a uptdate soon…

that Nellie vid Tom posted is fun, but has nothing to do with flashlights

here is a much uglier version of Nellie, dont watch it, as it has nothing to do with flashlights

and imo, it is in bad form to be using public bandwidth for this, but, since this thread is spiraling out of control…

suit yourself, we are on a slide into the gutter. I suggest people take a chill pill, and stop using this thread for ad hominem attacks… this stuff belongs in whine and cheese, if at all

can we get back to arguing about which LED is better?

OK, I will go first, the sw45 9080 is better, for me, than the XPL Hi. Smoke em if you got em.

Hum, even considering Firelight’s answer earlier, from these I understand that both 3 batteries will probably good enough, except on turbo where there can be some differences! Is this correct?
Thanks again for the clear answer! :+1:

What’d y’all think of the video I’d posted? Please don’t be too harsh; I only just now got a camera that can even take video.

LOL, that video is awesome!

I have both my Samsung 4000k and 5000k triples with me today and I love the nice, even color, large hot spot of both. I do have love for my D4 XP-L High with a frosted lense. But the Samsung leds have the better large spot without having to rely on the frosting of a lens to give spill to the leds.

Hey, if it weren’t for the fet, the fact those aren’t made anymore, etc, I would totally want a sw45k version. Hell, maybe I’ll disable the fet and try that. Idk.

I like it very much. Well done
I have much less need to spotlight the top of a distant tree with Low CRI, than I do to flood the area I am in with High CRI

but, both is good
buy more than one type of beam, and more than one type of LED
