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

We don’t need a public trial. Nev is no Angel. I’m sure he has thicker skin anyways since he asking for it half the time

:person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: … :open_mouth: … Was this necessary?? . :frowning: . ¯\

Kindle explained everything concisely & accurately . As did cabfrank.

racoon city knows the rules already, this just progresses a needless argument. You know, rule 4 and all “drop the subject” is probably the best course here

Let’s keep discussing the new FW3x options. Pretty cool choices!

On topic:

I wonder what they did do the full Ti version for heat. I think they tossed around the idea of a 3mm MCPCB or something.

In any case I ordered 1x stonewashed and 1x ti+cu. Considering this puts me at 4 FW3A’s I think 1 or 2 will make the WTS chopping block. Decisions decisions. :question:

I also had a hard time deciding what finish to get. I like both the polished and stonewashed options but ended up going with the same 2 you got. Figured the copper would help heat dissipation more. Now to decide if and which of my other FW3As to sell… haha.

BTW, I opted for the Express shipping option for $11 more. Does this make a difference?

I think it makes a difference in shipping speed, but probably not in “time until shipped”. Being early on the list and paying for express shipping, you’ll probably be one of the first to receive your lights.

Your tracking might work better as well.

You should get your light about 10-12 days sooner than you would otherwise

Your right… we all know or should know, the Rules. We had to read them before joining BLF.

This whole thing has been completely unnecessary.

As Kindle eluded to…. the puplic confronting of Nev was uncalled for… especially the way it was worded. There is but one administrator / moderator at BLF.

Private PM would have been a much better way to handle it…Or better yet, let the administrator ( sb56637 ) handle any perceived problem.

Instead, BLF Rules were broken to “confront” someone who allegedly broke BLF Rules. Then a downward spiral results.

Somewhat silly isn’t it??? :slight_smile:

Loving my FW3A’s….

Just ordered a purple FW3A with Nichia 4000K. :sunglasses:

Forgive me if it’s been mentioned in in the thread before but it’s a lot to sift through:

What level would I need to set my ramp ceiling in order to have it stop at max regulated output?

I’ve changed the level a couple times and don’t remember. I recall seeing 120/150 being max regulated so 30/31 clicks for the ramp ceiling config, but that seems pretty damn bright given turbo output with a freshly charged 30Q is only a little bit brighter than that.

I forgot to mention, I’m trying the 4000K 90CRI SST20 this time. I’ve tried 5000K 90CRI 219C before and hated it, just had the XPL-HI in my other FW3A, and that didn’t impress. The tint was great, but the light isn’t built for the heat at all and it stepped down way too fast. If I don’t like the SST20, I may just buy a flashing kit, throw some of my new 219Bs in it, and flash a turbo-limited firmware on it.

You have it right; 31 clicks in the ramp config. http://toykeeper.net/torches/fsm/anduril-manual.txt “To set the default of 120/150, click 31 times.”

Edit: See this comment from TK: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/45538/10889

I don’t think that spaghetti-monster version is the one used on the FW3A. It’s more generic.

The default smooth ramp ceiling for the FW3A should be 130. This would be 21 clicks.

So in Smooth ramp you click 1 then 21.
In stepped mode it’s 20 then 21 then 7.

I call bs on that.

I didn't accuse anyone, so far, of being dishonest.

I made it clear that Nev should know better than to put the f-word in his avatar.

And you should know the difference, too, unless your first language is not English.

(Or maybe you're just trying to misrepresent my words.)

I defended myself after he attacked me, Einstein.

And suggesting that I broke three different rules by defending myself is a huge stretch of the imagination.

I have started a conversation about this topic with Mr. Admin, but like I said, I have no idea when he'll sign in next, and BLF doesn't need 900+ f-words littered all across the forum, so I handled it myself.

And I handled it quite well, if I might add.

RC, dropping the subject is something sb often suggests. Just sayin’.

Okay, I may as well wade into this abyss.

Since you’re talking about avatars, why don’t you:

1. Remove that creepy large picture in your sig. It’s annoying, cluttering, and distracting. Nobody else seems to use pictures in their sig, at least not like that.

2. Use a plain image for your avatar, not a GIF that simulates a video. Again, distracting, though not nearly as bad as your awful sig picture.

3. This one is minor, but why don’t you post in plain text? Trying to quote anything from you means cutting out reams of garbage mark-up tags. And the mark-up you’re using doesn’t seem to enhance anything in your post.

I know, I know. You’re not going to do any of that. I’m just saying if you’re going to throw stones, ….

So, what’s BLF preorder code for Titaniums?
