I know this has been asked before but I could not find a definitive answerâŚâŚ. will the FW3A SST-20 orders after 6/12 come with the newest version of Anduril?
I like it the way it is, I have other Flame Throwersâ but only a couple of sane pocket lights, the FW3A met and exceeded itâs design purpose and then some, you just canât beat it for the money, no way no howâŚ
Guys, sorry to hijack the thread but this guy Neal is not responding to my emails and I need to contact him.
Long story short - after 33 days of waiting I got a defective FW3A - one of the LEDs is not working. Asked Neal what to do, he wanted a picture, I provided a picture, he sent me a tracking number (supposedly for a replacement device), but when I checked it a week later turned out itâs my OLD tracking number from my original order. Since then Neal is not responding to the emails I send him for about a week now.
Thanks Neal for providing the correct information about all these optics and lens issues so that everyone can relax and make educated choices and comments going forward.
The users on this forum are pretty lucky to have a guy like you looking out for us Neal!
Itâs not very encouraging, but just keep emailing him. Itâs been 50 days and I still havenât gotten a light, including about 5 of my emails that were ignored. He sent me a new tracking number a few days ago, weâll see if it gets here.
The general consensus is that he will eventually stand by the product and make it right, just be prepared for LONG delays and a lot of emails that will be ignored.
Not true, sales potential was unknown when the project started. If the design had gone in a different direction, interest could of been lost and the project canceled. There is always a certain amount of risk when starting a new project.
I have a 20th Anniversary Citizen Attesa with domed sapphire crystal. It has been bumped a number of times over the 10+ years Iâve owned it. I can see only one very slight scratch on the crystal when observed up close.
I find the domed lens effect appealing. It actually magnifies the labeling on the inside rim for easier viewing.
Thatâs definitely high drain. I donât have any high capacity non protected cells, but if you do, it would be neat to see the effect on Turbo. Theory says it will pull less amps which means a bit less lumens, but longer Turbo run time. Probably not much more, maybe 10 seconds more? I think you got 16 seconds?
I got 15 seconds using a 30Q. Maybe a high capacity cell will only extend it 6 or 7 more seconds?
(Also keep in mind the ambiant temperature might need calibrating)
Interest could have been lost if the flashlight wasnât at least similar to what was intended. There was, however, a huge pre-release interest list, most of whom were going to buy. That doesnât happen very often with new flashlight releases. It is a huge leg up on just a regular new flashlight introduction. It absolutely does come with a huge amount of potential immediate sales.
