That looks amazing tatasal. Lets get this moving to production.
I agree a hobby is for fun. But when a project like this is made public, we all get excited to see the finished product.
To not get stressed and bombarded with messages from members its best to keep the idea private so no one knows until it is ready to ship if that is the plan
Teacher, you aren’t old enough to remember that.
The light does look great.
I keep thinking how cool a 18650 light this small would be.
I sure hope it still happens.
I sometimes wish I weren’t old enough to remember cabfrank. :person_facepalming: .
IIRC, I think I would have been in about the 4th grade at that time.
Yep, those pictures are very impressive!! I’m hoping so too.
In fact, despite everything; I think it will.
There are smaller 18650 lights out now. The D4 is close in size. The Zebralight SC64 is smaller, and my favorite production light so far (although I wish it had the double springs of the SC62).
An 18650 light this small isn’t new. Several Zebralights, the Nitecore HC30, some DQG stuff, and others are the same size or smaller. While a tail-e-switch on an 18650 light this small probably was new when the FW3A was announced, the Folomov 18650S has that.
I’m not sure the FW3A does any one thing that hasn’t been done before, but it combines a lot of good ideas that are rare in the industry with good physical design, good emitter options, high max output, and a great UI.
