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

Teacher, it’s true! Who among us hasn’t bought a light that looked great, had our favorite emitter, but the UI was lame? I’ve always thought “I’ll adapt” but wind up giving them away.
I’ve adapted to the Skilhunt H03 UI because I use headlamps differently than pocket lights.
Wouldn’t want it on an EDC.
I’m so stoked about this UI I’m slowly trying to figure out flashing attiny chips so I can put it on some other lights.
The bonus with this light is that it most certainly does NOT look like a turd and won’t have lousy emitter/optic combo.
When I got a ZL SC62d it almost killed the hobby for me because it is such a great light.
I predict this light may slow down my purchases but the UI and the prospect of putting it on other lights and lanterns opens up a whole new branch of the hobby. I used to have a blast doing emitter swaps but that has died down since it’s become pretty simple to buy a light with a decent emitter.
Thanks again to all involved!

Edit: thanks for those details goshdogit! Those little things appeal to me. I hear from non-enthusiast “it’s just a flashlight” but these “little” things turn it into a Versatile Lighting Tool which really does let you do so much more than a flashlight and do it with a sophistication and accuracy that cannot be replicated by a light you’d get off a pegboard display at a hardware store.

/\ …. Exactly bansuri… well said again!! . :+1: . :slight_smile:

I agree with you both.

1 for me .Thanks

Your a wise man Frank. :+1: . On this one anyway… :smiley: . :smiley:

please add me to the interest list for one. I would also like to know how you create the auto generated interest list.

Thank you so much! I appreciate all the hard work and effort.

Can’t stand on the fence anymore… The 2nd prototype photos and the specs SOLD me!!

Please add me to the interest list for one also… Thank you.

Interested for one.

Interested in one

Thanks

Pleas add me to the list for one.
Thanks!

I put him for one.
If you want more, please: publish it.

I’m interested in 1 please.

Well, this thread took a somewhat embarrassing turn. I’m glad people like it though. :slight_smile:

Interested in 1 please!

Also, its probably been asked already but will the ramping on this have speed similar to the D4/D1? I have a Neutron V3 and the ramping is painfully slow compared to those.

The ramp is 150 steps at 16 ms per step, or 2.5 s total from end to end.

Damn you, FW3A team, please add me to your list for one, thanks!!

Are there any videos showing how the candle and sunset features look?

3 minutes of candle

lightning demo

could not find sunset in a quick search, maybe TK has a video and I just didn’t see it in my quick search. Then again, probably not very interesting unless it is time lapsed.

I searched for
watch glass 1.5mm
with http://pandacheck.com

and found this

Don’t know if it’s good
But there are also sapphire glass. Is this used for flashlights at all?

And in the first post the thickness is stated with over 2mm
