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

[wheelgunwordslinger]

I’m one of those single digit post counts you guys are talking about. I’ve been a lurker for a while, but use r/flashlights much more. I’d probably use BLF more, but my only internet access is my phone, and the site is rough for mobile browsing. I do already have a BLF Q8, and love the idea of lights that are actually produced based on what the community wants. If only we could get other industries to work with us like this. Seems like most industries insist on pushing features we don’t want, and not listening to what we actually do want. This thread specifically is amazing to me.

(On the other hand, maybe we’re promoting an addiction, so there’s that!)

I recently made a meme that depicts my BLF experience. It relates to your assertion.

Another lurker with only a couple posts here. I’ve had pretty much exactly the same experience as wheelgunwordslinger, actually.

Came from r/flashlight for the Q8, got a GT and some others too. Love that you guys work with manufacturers in these big group buys. I’ll be lurking around here for a while, I think.

You read it top to bottom? I started left to right. Maybe there is a way to make it clear?

Thanks for the meme mattadores, it does show my BLF experience if played in a never-ending loop

Do let us know what you think when you get it, teacher. I think it is quite tempting, even at around fifteen bucks.

I certainly will my friend. :+1:
Also, I just checked; the $10.99 Coupon Code for the Convoy S2+ SST20 4000K 95CRI is still active. Get the details HERE …

I ordered 18 February & I am still waiting. My order still says “Processing”. But I figure what the heck, it’s only $10.99 & a good deal. It’ll come sooner or later.
I’m thinking about ordering another to use as a host.

Concerning the Convoy S2+ SST20 4000K 95CRI we discussed several posts ago.
I got notification that it “Shipped” today. Hopefully it really did…… …

Good news.

In the free software world, it’s pretty normal for things to be created based on what the community wants. Frequently, the community just makes its own stuff, scratching its own itches. BLF has a similar “make what you want” culture, but it involves physical goods instead of just data, and physical goods can’t yet be copied over the internet. So several of us have been trying to get manufacturers to participate in this process, in order to make cool things available to anyone who wants them.

Someone at the New Yorker or Vanity Fair ought to write about how this is working.
It’s a new age ….

Reminds me somewhat of the cooperative Alt culture described in Cory Doctorow’s “Walkaway”

Cory Doctorow based some of his main writing themes on free software culture. It’s a major plot element in his “Little Brother” book, and is applied to a hardware context in “Makers”, and is applied to artistic works in “Pirate Cinema”. He’s pretty into this stuff.

He writes about it as sci-fi, usually, but… it’s not fiction. It has been an ongoing and growing movement since the mid-1900s, and is now the code foundation for the majority of the internet.

Love the design and the idea behind it. Thanks!
