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

If itā€™s easy enough to convert to a triple, put me on the list CRX :innocent:

Very nice CRX. I always love a good zoomie!

And yes please on the electronic switch for it. :heart_eyes:

DO IT! Iā€™M IN!

Hey team FW3A, I would like to please be put down for a 4th light. Thanks

Iā€™d love to see a light manufactured that you were involved with designing, even a zoomie :smiley: Somebody not getting back to you sounds like a huge missed opportunity.

+1. :slight_smile:

Though I canā€™t help but wonder why it needs so much driver space.

Thatā€™s supposed to be solid copper heatsink :wink:

FW3A optics expected to finally arrive next week as previously announced.

In the meantime, could anyone remind me what was that new great looking light some people are taking about? :beer:

An update from Neal: Optics are expected next week, and assembly should start very quickly. Heā€™s planning to send some items for smoke testing to make sure nothing is broken, and then it sounds like actual production can happen. Emitters are XP-L HI 3D and SST-20 4000K.

An optimistic timeline puts launch at about 3 weeks, if everything goes as well as possible.

okay so its confirmed that samsung emitters are scrapped and sst20 instead correct ?

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twiceā€¦

???

Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s scrapped or just delayed.

okay TK, guess i and all others that wanted the samsung will have to wait thenā€¦

Thanks TK. Any indication of SST tint bin?

Canā€™t way to try the firmware!

My D4 with SST and SC64LE with Samsung emitters are similar in actual use. Trade-off: Samsung is prettier, SST has better throw.

No indication yet. ā€œSST20 4000K 95CRIā€ is the extent of the details Iā€™ve heard.

Iā€™m glad to hear about the SST-20, both because it should avoid further delays with a high-CRI option, and because I think itā€™s a better beam shape for most use cases than the LH351D in a triple (though Iā€™m quite fond of the latter in a reflector).

Nowā€¦ how many of these do I need?

Well, it is BLF, not all will wait. My emitter of choice isn't even offered (Luxeon V ) but I'm sure going to make it.

My emitter choices are long since ordered and arrived and ready to install as soon as the lights get here
