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

I see you at #1695.

So, since LH351D well-binned ordering options are quickly evaporating + reports of their beam profile maybe not being ideal is there any chance the LH351C or SST-20 could be considered instead? At least down the road if a source for below BBL 351Ds isnā€™t found?

I know the first test of the HCRI 4000K SST-20s in the PL47 shows they are from a bin thatā€™s below BBL.

It should probably be mentioned that BlueSwordM is talking to Digikey independently, and Neal seems to have already ordered from a different supplier weeks ago.

Yep. Iā€™m just trying to help out.

Off I go!

the list does not seem to update?

Help is always welcome. :slight_smile:

I just donā€™t want people to get confused about FW3A project status. As far as Iā€™m aware, emitters are already taken care of.

Sign me up for another one (total of 2).

I would also like to sign up for a second. My first is #181.

Cannot resist. Thank you.

The BLF list was updated 3 days ago. It does not update itself though; I have to do that manually.

Iā€™ll try to clarify that next time I update it. The ā€œautomatically generatedā€ part is true, but it means a script takes a very long list of posts as input, and then generates the list seen in comment #4. So the request numbers are not particularly meaningful, and are simply a side effect of the order requests happen. Request numbers arenā€™t guaranteed, because if I find any errors in the list, or if anyone cancels their requests, all the numbers afterward will change. There is no ā€œBob cancelled request #123, so can I have that spot?ā€ because itā€™ll move everyone one number lower instead.

The update process is:

  • Run a script to download new posts since the last run.
  • Run a script to display new posts one at a time so I can manually categorize each one.
  • Manually copy that list to the link above.
  • Run a script to convert the full post list into a human-friendly interest list.
  • Manually copy the human-friendly version to comment #4.

So a lot of it is automated, but itā€™s not fully automatic.

I would like to be added to the list for one light. Thanks.

okay gotcha, thanks for clarify TK :slight_smile:

I appreciate what you did BlueSword- it was admirable. Thanks for your efforts.

I got off the interest list back in June because I decided to earmark the $$ for a BLF-LT1 but progress on that project is ? ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ so put me back on this listā€¦.Previously @ #1350ā€¦ Thanks
