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

Me too!

4 should be enough….

I am very pleased to know that it’s Lumintop working this project. They are very reliable. I like their products.

Please add me for one more, two in total!
Thank you

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!

Looks amazing, love the fact that everything is so well designed and being minimalist at the same time.

And all that’s left now is for Lumintop to produce it WITHOUT having their logo etched on the light.

I would rather have “FW3A”, “Fritz Works” or just plain finish like the prototype.

I was already in for one of these (#4289). I’d like to change my request to one of each emitter (two total). Thanks, and awesome project!

So the color of the XPL hi is cool ?

maukka has already received his & posted a ton of photos & info. Did you see it??

Please add me to the list for one.

Thanks.

That looks positively stunning.

Please put me down for one (1) anodized with the LH351D 4000K 90CRI emitter.

From the OP….

Current status (2019-01-28): Production samples arrive tomorrow for testing/review. Production should start within days, if things go well.

  • Emitters are XP-L HI 3D (~4875K) and LH351D 4000K 90CRI (tint bin TBD).

I also think it’s strange that my “production” sample has a cool white (>5700K) emitter.

LOL, I have not noticed any chinese flashlight manufacturer that understands what a production sample is and why it should be made.

:open_mouth: . Really?? I had overlooked/missed that… :expressionless:
That is indeed strange…. :question:

Wow! 100 posts on this thread since I checked it yesterday. :disappointed:

Nice review Maukka! Looks like Lumintop’s time spent going through different iterations to get this light just right has paid off. The light looks fantastic! :heart_eyes:

Hopefully, within a couple months we’ll all have our FW3As!!! :+1:

XPL HI for me please.

It may have been asked before, but…
The two flashlights I’m signed up for, can I buy more than I signed up for, and an I buy a few of the other Emitter also?
Or do I have to buy only the ones I signed up for?
Thanks :+1:

maukka, can you measure that MCPCB and make sure it’s the same width as all the other triple MCPCB’s?

I’m pretty chuffed lumintop are making this, I’m very happy with the build quality on Tool AA v2 and my EDC 01.

One question please, will all the XPL HI versions have a frosted flood lens?

Isn’t that output quite low? The D4 measures around 4300 lm with 4 XPL-His. My naive calculation would expect a 3 emitter light with XPL-His to be 4300/4*3 = 3225 lm.

The D4 does 20kcd so I would expect this light to get to 15000kcd. Is the difference only the frosted optics?

Sorry if went wrong somewhere. I am not good with flashlight maths xD
