I imagine it is, since nobody asked for it AFAIK.
@FW3A team, I am not interested in this light anymore.
Since there will be no high CRI light at launch, I do not want to get one, especially after all the promises of getting high CRI LH351Ds, then SST-20s, then XP-L HI only.
Thank you for everything still.
Actually that was my point, maybe poorly worded. I imagine the coating Oveready is using is not cheap, therefore its probably not the same coating that’s on these clips, even though it looks like it to me. That said, however, I overlooked one thing when I originally made that comment — the clip from Oveready isn’t cheap, but the coated option is only a couple bucks more than the bare clip. So maybe…
Super cool that there’s a patreon and TK you definitely deserve to get paid, I just hope that there isn’t a mass exodus of conversation to patreon as the most involved/invested/active people move over to that platform causing this place to slowly die off, though I guess that’s less of a potential risk here, I’m still worried as I’ve seen it happen a couple of times
I can understand that, the emitter i want it seems its a long way there if it will ever happen who knows 
I’m still sitting here and hoping against hope that a high cri option or at the very least drop/solder in boards with high cri LED’s attached would be available soon as this flashlight is otherwise looking to be pretty much perfect for my edc needs.
Hopefully this will just take standard 20mm triple PCBs?
Add me to the list for one. Thanks!
I like the black clip if it’s an oxide/nitride finish that won’t chip/scratch easily. I just didn’t want it to be paint.
Thanks for the 219B firmware, TK. I’m sure I’ll be making use of that.
I used to have a D4 that I ran with comparatively-low amp batteries like the LG MJ1 in order to keep the turbo lower and the heat a bit more manageable. Would that be OK in the FW3A as well? Would there be any downside other than a lower turbo?
I agree with Paul321, this looks like bluing.
Looking great.
Other than that, no. Just lower output.
IMO, to my eyes, the FW3A would’ve been the perfect EDC if it came with high CRI LEDs stock.
I would’ve been perfectly happy with LH351Ds if they went with the same price with the XP-L HI version in exchange for getting it at the same time.
Otherwise, I’m not interested in the light until it comes with them stock.
Even a good tint can’t replace, or even substitute, excellent color rendition in real life scenarios rather than white wall hunting.
Please add me to the list for one
May I please add 2 additional units to my initial request? Thanks
sorry if this has already been asked and answered and I missed it, but does anyone know if the clip will be removable without just cutting it off and sanding it down? I prefer to carry lights in the bottom of my pocket and not clipped on
My impression is that it is removable. Some of bluzie’s photos show the production sample with the clip removed.
My thoughts when I saw it were also some form of nitride coating. There’s a number of variations, and they tend to be extremely durable. For small parts, the cost should not be too bad in high volumes.
Black oxide is actually a relatively poor finish in terms of wear tolerance and rust prevention, although does ok if kept oiled.
This brings up a big question:
The SST-20 version could be made pretty quickly if we use FB4 tint, but if we wait for FA or FD tint it might take a very long time or never happen at all.
So what should Lumintop do? Should they wait for a good rosy tint bin which might not exist… or use the widely-available FB4 tint which people are already familiar with in other lights?
FB4 tint plus Lee Minus-Green zircon filter. 
Go with the FB4. Maybe it can even be ready at launch along with the XP-L HI?
