Recieved my Copper FW3A today —- Ordered Thursday— As usual always Super Fast shipping— This thing sure is Purdy —- the SST 4k tint is very nice to—- I tested 2165 on Turbo
I opted out of the FW3A group buy basically because of the tail switch (&the 2yr lag time).
The copper adds value and curb appeal to the light. I wouldn’t have bought it iffn it were sandblasted.
The added perk of having it delivered in days rather than weeks/months put me over the hump.
Hi picked up the SST20 4000k and the XP-L Hi 5000k. I can tell you with a good cell there is a large difference in the heat generated with the SST20 being the hot one. But, I may have gotten lucky as I have no green in the output at low current, it does tend to yield a little yellow but I can live with it.
Nichia and WW/NW XPL-HI has been ordered as well as glow gaskets. ETA is early next week. Titanium pricing has not even been announced so we can't offer a pre-order yet.
Realistically that depends on what you set your max temperature to. But honestly they both heat up so fast the difference is negligible, maybe 4 seconds at most? They both output different max turbo levels anyways so it's not exactly a direct comparison.
