On the one hand, you’re totally right. On the other hand, this happens every year during CNY and it’s kind of unavoidable. That’s almost over though.
Neal is back to work and sending feedback to Lumintop, but I don’t know if they’re around to receive messages yet or do anything about it.
In other news, maukka sent me a nice pic of the FW3A next to a high-end HDS light. It’s the rotary model, I think. The HDS on the left is a 1x16340 light, while the FW3A on the right is a 1x18650 light:
@ Spiderlight… Jason is correct. Just be sure you have email notification for PM’s activated. Then you will get an email notification when you receive a PM. :+1:
I was also hoping this was the case so it would clip on a cap.
Can the clip be modded to fit? What are the o.d. thread measurements of the front and rear?
Are there other clips that might fit?
Don’t give up just yet, I know some of the fw3a team were pushing lumintop to not glue anything, including the tail cap, which would mean it would come apart…
Lumintop has said they’ll be gluing it but hopefully the pushback will prevent that. We’ll learn what they did when the lights arrive.
It looks as though the front/rear thread o.d. is the probably the same, but if they did glue the tailcap that would permanently secure the clip and it could not be removed even if the user did not want it? I’d rather have the option to carry it in my pocket w/o the clip or be able to reverse it for a cap.
Buy the clear and other lenses from MTN Electronics. His shipping for a small part like that will be less than $5, his shipping prices are very honest. Pick up some extra batteries while you are at it.
