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

As usual steel_1024…. ’Fantastic Pictures’!! Thank you…… . :+1:

Put me down for 1 with SST20’s. Thanks.

Think of not. TLF is 100% German.

Oh, OK…. my bad. :person_facepalming: It’s a “translation” of a TLF post. :+1:

Thank you Henk4U2…. :beer:

@ Tally-ho …. Thank you also. :beer:

@ steel_1024, tatasal, ToyKeeper, or ’anyone’ who might know: Is this “prototype 4” the latest one?
As in made in the last few days?

Is it going to be sent to a few ’Key People’ for testing before final production begins.

Just curious, thanks in advance for any answers. :+1:

It looks great btw…. :beer:

I’m kinda wondering the same thing.

Sadly, I’m not surprised.

It is fit.

Indeed it is…

Fit is good.

I would like 1 more.
That makes 3 total, XPL, 351 and SST.

Thx

“It is fit.” … Maybe it really is. Maybe it really is not.

But….there is a very large group of people hoping it “really” is…… :smiley:

Me included…… :wink:

I would like to buy one with XP-L HI emitters.

In order to translate the Chinese manual

LuminTop give me a prototype

However, other details are not clear

if its going in production now we can only assume that the latest prototype is a good indication how the light and color will be for full production…

Thanks steel_1024. And as usual your photos are fantastic!! :+1: . :beer:

True…. which is why it would be kinda neat if the “latest prototype” were sent to “key people” for final evaluation before the FW3A goes into full blown production.

Then there would need be no assumption necessary and ’it might’ save mucho pain & heartache down the road ’if’ something was not right.

But, those are only my thoughts & unasked for opinions…. ymmv. :+1:

If anyone’s interested in the actual color of the FW3A in the RAL standard, which takes the camera processing out of the equation:

Which in RGB terms would be approximately:

It depends a bit on where on the light I take the sample. This is from the body.

Inputting the L*a*b values to a color calculator will give you the nearest result within various color standards:

It’s closest to Aircraft Gray on a couple of standards.

Thanks maukka! That’s pretty amazing & beyond my understanding mostly…. but the color looks great!! :wink:
