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

i ordered 7a, is there a way to know if i got into it or not ? i thought there would be alot more then 330 since the list is so big ?

That sounds like they managed to knock the button signal tube out of place or something. But usually if that happens, the light shuts itself off.

the FW3A is such a beauty! :)

Nice photos!

Yes, nice photos.

It sure is & those are great pictures too!! :+1:

M4D M4X
great video and great photos :+1:

copper would require an additional insulator because it cannot be anodized to be an Isolator as Aluminium.

the inner tube can still be used on other materials I think?

that would be an option, jupp
By the way: Is there a “shipping proges page?” I am #30xx and would like to know, when I could “roughly” expect shipping…

pls PM me the order number

Why not run a wire inside the tube rather than a inner tube? Just wondering.

How would you connect the wire ends to the driver and switch when they all rotate independently? Seems pretty tricky.

There’s my answer looking me in the face. I guess I didn’t think it through . :frowning:

Bead blasted titanium gets my vote. Other aluminium colours could also be tempting.

…Or silver / clear version?… runs and hides… Only kidding, I don’t like these as they can’t be hard locked out.

But not impossible.
HDS is using a wire with a rotating head and a fixed MCPCB for the button, Novatac is using a spring with a rotating head and rotating button.
The end of the tube on the driver side of the HDS is anodized, the trace on the MCPCB is for the end of the wire.

Interesting design, thanks for sharing Tally-ho. :+1:

The spring of the novatac is working the same as the inner tube of the FW3A, but with time if the spring wears off, it won’t be a problem due to its adaptable length.

I think that is the thinnest retaining ring I have ever seen. When I first went to check mine for tightness I didn’t even see it & thought… “oh crap, it’s glued after all”. :person_facepalming:

But after closer inspection, there it was. Both of mine were tight btw. :+1:

Innovation & adaptability…. I love it!!
This would make a good ‘ToyKeeper video’ btw. :+1: . :wink:
