FW3A mod thread. Post yours!

This is true, they usually fall right out but what I’m saying is my one was fairly well stuck into the MCPCB.
Just be wary of that as it will not be the only one like that.
I have changed a few in my time :innocent:

Yeah, mine was stuck pretty good too… it did not come out easy. But it did come out…. with no broken legs to boot. :wink:

I actually had to hold down the MCPCB with a toothpick and pry off the optic, never had one that stuck before.

The Carclo triple in my Jaxman E2L was stuck so hard that I had to resort to pliers. Believe it or not I didn’t break the optic… So yeah, these things can be hard to remove.

One of mine wanted to stick, and I think it was caused by flux in places where it’s not supposed to be. So it may be a good idea to clean the MCPCB if you open it up… or at least check to see if it’s clean.

Yeah I want to check the head out anyway, possibly fit a Noctigon as these MCPCBs look a little rough.

Just found these on ebay - may be of use, just sticks right on! Comes in a variety of colours too LINK

Isn't 1cm wide a bit small for FW3A?

Glow In The Dark Gaskets?

I'm in the UK anyone know where to get them?

Found them on etsy but dont ship to UK.

I have some.

Fantastic.

Thank You.

Cool, I’ll send you a message later :+1:

You know I didn’t even see the size, it just looked about right on the finger lol, but you could still use it?

CRX is your modded light for sale?

Sure!

Here's the same auction on eBay.com:

(I was looking for different sizes on eBay and AliExpress, but didn't find any.)

Thanks, I was looking for some time last night for some tritium bits, but that is the nearest thing I could find other than plain vials. Shame they don’t do different sizes…… to be honest I was trying to find disks (like thin marker dots) but with no luck.
As it goes they have some pretty funky stuff in their shop, some of that carbon material is lovely!

Much cheaper here:
