Please put me done for another light. That will make 2 lights total. 1 of each emitter option.
I’ve tried the sst-20 in 6500k ,it only looks greenish if you shine it on a white wall next to XPLHI
Yesterday i finally jumped to the LH351D(4000k 90cri) bandwagon and modded my OTR U16 with one and i’m pleased with the result, i didn’t find any odd tint.
On the other hand i’m waiting for my sst-20(4000k 95cri)to arrive to replace a xp-g3 ~6000k green puke tint, hoping not to see also a green puke tint!
So for now i’m in for one LH351D in this flashlight, and i’m not forgetting that there is only other option, the XP-L HI
I have not seen that, actually. I’ll look through his posts to find it. Thanks! 
I think the minus green filters are a really good solution for anyone dealing with green tint on lower modes. You give up some output, but it’s reversible. I had great results on my Astrolux S43, which came with horribly green 219Cs.
His post in this thread was hard to miss.
Not sure if it’s the same tint issue but reversing the lens on my S42 removed a sickly tint from the beam and made it very nice indeed. I actually find this for all lights with AR coated lenses, i reverse them all for a much more satisfying beam.
Could be worth a test.
Reversing the AR coated lens on the S43 has no effect. Removing the lens, however, does drop the duv from 0.0045 to 0.0031 and increases the output about 5%.
Fair enough, you’d know! What is duv?
The distance from the black body line (neutral light). Positive numbers are above the BBL = greenish. Negative numbers are below = rosy/magenta.
Got it, thanks
Where do I order the FW3A flashlight
You can’t order it yet. You can say how many you want in this thread, and when they’re available, you’ll get a notification.
@ severide…… Jason provided the link to the post in ‘this’ thread by maukka.
Here is the link to maukka’s review thread…… TLF/BLF/Lumintop FW3A review (18650, 3x XP-L HI cool white)
I would like to buy 2 please
Thanks!
interested in one for sure, maybe 2 or 3 (friends)
I am interested in one or two
The link to his review is already there. That’s why I didn’t post both. No biggie, though.
Switching from an AR coated lens to a plain one can reduce the yellow and vice versa. It’s an easy way to shift the tint a little bit. All the AR coated lens I’ve seen were coated on both sides so flipping it does nothing. Maybe your S42 lens is only coated on one side?
