To get more throw then, I may order the 10507 Carclo Lens - 3-UP Narrow Spot Optic from Mt Electronics at the same time I order the FW3A. This seems like a simple-enough mod. Thanks again!

Any standard Carclo triple optic of the right size should work, such as the ones sold at MtnElectronics. This includes 10507, 10511, 10508, 10509, and 10510. The 10507 optic makes the most throw, but also makes virtually every emitter look ugly. So the default is 10511 because it provides the most throw available without causing strong beam artifacts. It can also be polished to increase throw, while still producing a nicer-looking beam than 10507.

It appears that the 10511 optic may be a good choice also.
I just can’t believe the amount of work that goes into these projects. I’m assuming that we’ll have opportunity to donate to those who have worked so diligently once the light is available?
Speaking of which, I believe I am currently in for 2 lights (#934 & 935). I would actually like to up this to 6 total, 3 of each emitter option.
AFAIK, the initial post doesn’t differentiate between reserving different emitter options. You’ll be put on the list for as many lights as you want, and you can pick which emitter when you order.
I’ll be honest. I know this was kind of put on the back burner so to say and I have not received any updates and this may have something to do with the system logging me out after a period of time. That’s on me and I blame no one else. I did get sidetracked with an another GB that went wrong resulting in everybody having to pursue PayPal claims. My last post was almost a year ago. Having noticed activity, I’m trying to catch back up and it will take some time.
Thanks to everyone who is making this come to light.
I’d like some confirmation the bezel and driver will both be easy to remove in the production version. Lumintop has been known to add surprise glue and that would be a travesty for the FW3A.
I haven’t checked these forums in a while. Just caught up with the update on the first post. Decent timing on my part lol. I’m satisfied with the emitter choices. Looking forward to seeing more after the prototypes are received. Thanks for keeping this going guys!
