So much drama over a hole in a stupid clip :s

But I do agree with you.

I take it you are not a ‘clip person’?? … :wink: . :face_with_monocle:

Where’s the fun in that CRX?? Go for it…. :wink: . :innocent:

IT’S BLACK

I’m still not convinced it is as ‘black’ as it ’appears’ in this picture. And I don’t think it is painted either. That is my story & I’m sticking to it…. :innocent:

This was the last (?) info we got about that. So…the 3 testers will probably be able to tell us more about that.
I will not enter the colour/anodization/whatever discussion as I will decide what to do with that later!

Ah yes, that’s right. I think my brain latched onto the “if the tail isn’t glued” and not the image part of it.

Wow, that really puts into perspective how poorly the new clip fits.

That clip in the most recent picture looks chrome plated to me, not black.

What are you referring to??

The pics of earlier prototypes that show the clip’s retaining ring sitting flush with the body of the light.

I believe that Scallywag is talking about this:

The latest black clip protrudes beyond the FW3As body while the silver one does not.
The ugly hole - meh. Can live with it. The ugly paint job - rather disappointing. But this… this is a dealbreaker for me :person_facepalming: :cry:

It is not fit.

You’re right, it is not. They won’t send out these nice flashlights with such poorly fitting clips I don’t think. Hopefully.

Where are Luminotop’s comments on this topic?
If they have changed the boundary conditions, they need to give some explanation.

How do they understand exactly what they have to do and are they committed to not depart from the assignment?

Sorry if I missed some answers…

A lot of energy and time are invested in this product.
I made a simple bill:
(8526 post here) x (5 minutes per post) = about 90 working days just for posts.
The time spend for reading can’t be calculated… :exclamation:

This simple calculation should oblige the contractor to strictly observe the desire of the forum.
Or give a reasoned opinion of the changes…

That is exactly what I was referring to. Nice picture!

I honestly don't know if I'd buy the light with the clip that bad. Or I might just get one, instead of two. Fixing that will just be a pain in my tail-switch.

I would not be surprised if final production version had 5 mode (1–50–100%-strobe-sos) firmware and 70$ price :person_facepalming:

OK, thanks for clearing that up guys. :+1:
I understand now…… “It is not fit”. :wink: It appears in that picture anyway.
…….
’Hopefully’…. it is not as bad as it ’appears’ in that particular picture. :innocent:
