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..
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.
We share exactly these thoughts and opinions.
It is appearing unlikely at the moment though. We shall see.
I'm happy that it has a pocket clip, and that it's a very secure design for the pocket clip. I had to get rid of my clip-on S2+ clips because they tended to go flying. My D4 pocket clip is great, though.
Thanks maukka! That’s pretty amazing & beyond my understanding mostly…. but the color looks great!!

Aircraft Grey it is, then. The FW3A color is officially Aircraft Grey.
…
Well, officially in my headcanon anyway. I doubt Lumintop will put it on their product page.
I’m interest in buying 1
Looking forward to this!
Aircraft Gray, FW3A
It even rhymes…
…. It was meant to be!!

Maybe “FW3A Gray” can be a RAL standard color…
Considering it's made of aluminum, Aircraft Grey fits nicely.

Why was it silly?
April 8th, 3:41pm FW3A update:
Barring any unforeseen circumstance, this week, 2 samples will be sent to 2 members here in BLF and one sample to a member in TLF.
The final approval from the three persons will pave the way for the light’s mass-production.
As usual, in the meantime,

My term for the design of the FW3A is:
it’s elegantly-simple
/\ I like that, & totally agree.

I really hope for that LED.
The FW3A team is doing a good job at keeping everyone informed. Thanks!
It looks great!
I wonder if this thread will escape any drama over the pocket clip color being changed unannounced.
Apparently, not.
I'm happy that it has a pocket clip, and that it's a very secure design for the pocket clip. I had to get rid of my clip-on S2+ clips because they tended to go flying. My D4 pocket clip is great, though.
How is the D4S pocket clip?

The new pocket clip seems to be black.
Compared to the previous prototypes :
