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

:smiley:

We already have the world’s best candle, the D4, D4S, or any other tail standing light that can run Anduril.

Do those have candle mode?

I guess they do. Still, with a diffuser, these will be equally great.

Any update on when production will start. I’m really itching for this light.

first post that I see about this chimera

Why is it a deal breaker for you? As long as the driver has LVP is there any point having protected cells?

Or do you like the added protection of having it on the cell as well as the driver?

That’s what I thought to be honest. As long as the flashlight itself has LVP, surely it’s ok.

I just wanted to add to this, thank you very much Toykeeper!

Well, true, if you can flash it into those lights!…
The FW3A will be the first light I will have with that FW installed, and as far as I perceived, it will be the first light with Anduril as stock FW, so it makes it different!

Besides that, the elegance of this flasglight makes it look better as a candle :smiley: But that is just a preference :wink:

FWIW, a tail button is a bit of a drawback for candle use, because it means picking up the light to press the button. Otherwise though, the FW3A should work nicely as a candle.

I thought about what you’re saying and as long as it tailstands,I guess it wont be a big issue :wink:
Sometimes I use the Convoys to a similar function (bedside standing) and it works fine!

So, as long as the tail allows it to stand, it won’t bug me much! :+1:

Una por favor Pepinfaxera,solo una
Gracias

Just to clarify, those lights use RampingIOS or D4 ramping, so no candle mode.

They can be reflashed to use Anduril though, which will give them candle mode.

If someone is able to reflash them. :wink:

The FW3A will have it as ‘standard equipment’. :beer:

Accurate clarification, that is what I was trying to say. As far as the diffuser goes, same for the D4 and this light, you likely need to roll your own.

I have the D4 with Anduril, and it does make for a great candle, even without the diffuser.

Just about all of my 18650 cells are protected, and the couple that are unprotected aren't all that great.

I guess I could invest in some quality unprotected cells, though I do not particularly want to.

Member for 8+ years and almost 11,000 posts…and no decent high drain unprotected cells?

My mind is blown!

:smiley: …. That makes two of us…… I was thinking the same thing…. :wink:

Interested in one, thank you

Wow - I don’t have ANY protected cells, and don’t want them either.
I don’t want issues with who made the circuit, how it performs, whether it will fit, metal strip running down the side - yuk.
I have a few Panny B’s for capacity and the rest are nearly all 30Q’s button or flat top, aside from a few laptop pulls, and some 14500/10440 of mixed breed.
