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

1. Samsung 30Qs will not have any problem fitting.

2. Yes, there is Low Voltage Protection(LVP).

In for LH351D!

How much more floody will the LH351D be compared to the SST-20 under the Carclo?

If you review the very first post, it has a simulated comparison of the XP-L HI to the LH351D. The SST-20 should be similar to our slightly more throwy than the XP-L HI.

If the FW3A becomes available with SST-20’s and you’re thinking of modding it with LH351D’s, consider slicing the domes for more throw and better tint.

Thanks

Preferably a flat top, unprotected cell. Button top may or may not work since some are taller than others.

If you want the highest turbo output, but also the highest heat and shortest time, go with a high drain. (VTC5A, 25R, etc…)

If you don’t care about squeezing every last lumen out on Turbo mode then a high capacity cell might be better. (MJ1, 35E, Panny GA, etc…)

The 30Q is not quite a super high drain, but is a nice mix between the two. Same for VTC6.

I think most folks will use the 30Q as it’s a proven reliable cell, works well, is cheap and is easily available.

Thanks, BlueSwordM! :+1:

for now dont count that its possible to source those emitters, i would like the light with that emitter aswell but it seems it will probably be sst20 unless we hear something else…

I would like LH351D as well. But what do you guys think about the 3000K SST-20? It has a lot less green in it.

i could live with that, even under 3000k i would take if possible but i doubt it…

This is a photo of an SST20 3000k, 95cri Nightwatch Seeker NS22 that I posted in this thread HERE :

Look at the pictures and informations in the first posts and you will see the heat sink: FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public
The flashlight will get hot realy quick, of cause.

I’d be interested in 1 with whichever high CRI option ends up being made.

I’d like to be put on the list for one with the XP-L emitters, please. Thanks!

Today’s development:

The XP-L HI and SST-20 will go first in production.

Which specific version (of the SST20), that will come later guys.

In the meantime, it’s QingMing festival in China today Friday, plus Saturday and Sunday, you know what that means, so :beer: till next week.

great news! :slight_smile:

Most probably the 4000k, 95cri SST-20 is the expected choice.

Good to hear. Hopefully whoever is doing the sourcing can locate FA1 or FA4 tint bin (FD1 or FD4 also works).

Please add my name to the list for 1 light… Thanks

Thanks. You get a lot more detailed news than I do. Like, when asking for updates a month ago, all I got was “it is fit”. And then we asked again this week, and got a response yesterday: “the optics arrived”. I really can’t get a lot of info out of 3-word responses. Figuring out what’s going on is a bit like playing a game of “20 questions” with a maximum of one question per day.
