After reading the preliminary report of the soon to be released upgraded Emisar D4S, Iām absolutely thrilled at the addition of the BLUE āfind meā marker LEDs surrounding the main LEDs.
Since tritium is so expensive, GITD fades so quickly, would it be feasible to copycat/incorporate the blue marker design inside the head of the FW3A? To easily locate the light in dark conditions?
I would die happy (hopefully) if it were a possibility....
.....and another idea..... following the same āupgrade pathā ideas from the Emisar D4 (18650) to the upcoming D4S (26650 cell)
a slightly larger version that optimally fits the excellent Samsung 48G 4,800 mAh 21700 cell for at least a 50% runtime increase over 18650s , while minimizing/avoiding a size/weight penalty of a much larger 26650 cell...
im a monster runtime fanatic and this would put a permagrin on my face...
So many projects happening at the same time, itās hard to keep it up with all of them :weary: :person_facepalming:
Lol
Hum, that would be nice, probablyā¦but please letās put this first 18650 project out of the factory
Then it would be nice to have the different versions (copper, TI, ā¦) and some 1 led versions and also the 18350 versionsā¦ There are so many ideias to explore for this project further! But now, letās cross fingers for this 18650 version to be out :+1:
First much gratitude and respect for your active (leadership) role in a diversity of projects here. IMHO you are a strong and valued asset to the BLF community and deserve recognition as such. I applaud your contributions and efforts. Iām very grateful for MascaratumB for catching my reference, otherwise the point of my post would have been missed.
Emisar added 2 major design elements to their evolutionary upgrade from the D4 to the D4S, most notably the BLUE marker always on find me LEDs inside the head and a larger body to incorporate a huge 26650 cell in place of the D4 18650 cell.
Since it has been so long since original concept to build, it is a very appealing idea to follow Emisarās lead and introduce the same upgrades, perhaps as a separate model,
[FW3B perhaps, B For Blue, Bigger Battery]
Thank you for all that you have done, and continue to do for the BLF community.
Sho nuff, but Lumintop has been pretty busy. They recently released the ODF30, the ODL20C, GT Mini and GT70. Iām guessing they may not have a lot of resources right now to work on the FW3A. It seems like once they devote some people to it, the project is capable of moving very quickly.
We are approaching the busy season in China. I also hope we can get these lights this year.
