FW3A mod thread. Post yours!

Fiver & postage. Got green or aqua blue.

2 x Green.

2 x Blue.

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:

Nice find, thank you for that!
Grrr……. they don’t take Paypal :person_facepalming: a quick search using ‘tritium patch’ found one that does though, bit more expensive.

I also found these rectangular tritium tubes. They are quite pricey though!

There is a bezel? I’m confused, do you have any photos?

They mean the head and or retaining ring I imagine.

No mate, this is a wee keeper :wink:

On my 7A too:

Dang, just noticed 2 tiny beads of solder in this pic as well.

Fyi, the smooth end unscrews, leaving the knurling part, so there's a thread break between those 2 sections of the head.

Thanks, got it now. The gap between the smooth bit of the head and the knurling was so seamless that it didn’t look like there was a joint there.

I was just reading through and saw the references to the bezel. I also didn't see the gap at all (by comparison, the gap between body and head is quite visible) but I just tried twisting anyway, feeling stupid until it turned.

Any chance of making a red ?

Both FW3As I’ve modded so far had small amounts of flux on the LEDs.

I would like 1 of each CRX.
