Can Lumintop add built in USB charging to this light?
No.
User stylesheets. Slick and thanks for the link. May need to switch mobile browsers to get this to work, but Iām thinking itās worth it. Seems straightforward to nuke quoted replies as well. Just a matter of matching the nesting. Fun project for tomorrow
Thanks raccoon city!
I personally don't think the FW3A Team owes me ANYTHING - I think it is the other way around.
It certainly does get old. But itās not just ādozens of pages agoā; itās now over three years. Despite appearences, heās well aware of how these things work, and even attempted a group buy in the past. So thereās history. The condensed version is: There was a lot of complaining and drama, a lot of āput up or shut upā responses, and some attempts to āput upā. But it didnāt go well. Threads were closed by the admin. A rude point system was added. Some extremely inappropriate private messages were sent. Then the posts and account were deleted, though Iām not sure if it was a ban or a quit. I assumed it was a ban, but I could be wrong. Things were quiet for a while. Eventually a new account showed up with similar behavior, but nobody knew for sure until last October when he revealed he was the same person.
Soā¦ thereās a lot of background involved. Sometimes he has useful and constructive things to say, though that can be hard to see when itās so often cloaked in negativity. Sometimes itās just angry rambling. Sometimes false or made-up stuff. Sometimes FUD. Sometimes I canāt even figure out what heās talking aboutā¦ like coded messages or something. And sometimes heās helpful.
Itās not an easy thing to deal with. Responding tends to turn threads into flame wars, but the common wisdom of ignoring it is often harmful in other ways. So BLF has a button for it which attempts to avoid both failure modes. Regardless though, the action recommended by our admin is to click the button instead of responding, and otherwise generally try to stay on topics which are relevant or enjoyable.
ā¦ and on that note:
This is Fritzā design; he and Cawi started the project on TLF. However, every original team member has left the project. As far as Iām aware, no one has heard from Fritz or Cawi since late 2018. They seem too busy these days to be involved. So Bluzie took over duties on TLF, and Iām helping with stuff here.
The āBLF after darkā link in my signature has some useful stylesheets for this.
Itās not ruled out entirely. Weāre mostly just trying to make what people voted for first, before possibly venturing into other options. The flavors which got the most votes were:
- XP-L HI ~4900K
- LH351D hi-CRI ~4000K
But I personally wouldnāt mind if Lumintop decided to make a full spread of XP-L HI versions. Like, 3300K, 4100K, 4900K, 5700K, all in rosy āAā or āDā tint bins. We even have enough poll data to determine approximate quantities of each, if they want to try that sort of thing. But I think the actual plan is to do ~4900K first, then try to do LH351D as soon as emitters can be obtained, and then maybe try other tints later if they think itās worthwhile.
This sums things up well:
The plan is to try to cover a variety of different preferences. But thatās pretty much up to Neal and Lumintop.
:+1: :+1:
And besides, nobody spent money on the light yet, yes? Unless Tom Tom knows something that we donāt.
I donāt mind if he complains, but some of his complaints are filled with impatience.
I canāt find this one on Urban Dictionary: BM&C
Can anyone confirm that stands for b*hing, moaning & complaining?
lol thereās a lot of straight forward acronyms but some are quite unique
Time for everyone to take a deep breath and admire the pretty lights 
Yeah, I might not even need this light if I make any more with electronic tail switches by myself 
Iāll end up proposing you enough money so you build me oneā¦
Iām not even sure if I want it anymore :weary:
Tom Tom, please drop the subject.
And our partner constructing the next 5000 BLF specials isā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. CRX! Well done you!
You better get 2000 metal files on order mate, along with a tonne of copper bar, 3 miles of carbon fibre tube , 10,000 Dremel cut off disksā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ 100 pairs of new hands and a 30 pairs of new eyeballs! 
Well, if we could find a manufacturerā¦
You guys could have them cool lights too 
I was asked about a production light and designed a little titanium & copper zoomie, never heard back though :))
I know it's a zoomie but it would be nice in my opinion, maybe could be made in a standard single/ triple format too.
Though thinking more about it now, I would probably make it an electronic switch :)
Thoughts welcome:
.
If itās easy enough to convert to a triple, put me on the list CRX 
Very nice CRX. I always love a good zoomie!
And yes please on the electronic switch for it. 
DO IT! IāM IN!
Hey team FW3A, I would like to please be put down for a 4th light. Thanks
