question… I just got a fw3a from amazon, but it came with the plastic optic and no glass lens. I have some carclo optics, but I dont have the glass lenses… anyone know where we can get them? (23mm x 1.5mm ?)
Thanks!
I’ve ordered from here once before (but not this size specifically), they are plain glass lenses in tons of sizes:
And the other option is a slightly smaller, slightly thicker UCL lens with AR:
FlashlightLens.com - Your source for high quality glass and acrylic flashlight lenses. - Flashlightlens.com - Online Store (store is closed for order for a week or two)
The stock AR ones have a decent amount of tint shift but neither of the above ones should have that problem.

A switch thin enough to sit flush would not be thick enough for trits. It is one or the other.

I haven’t been edc’ing this much because I’ve had trouble pushing it in my pocket without pushing the button. But today I might have cured that. I’ll see how it goes.

I had a similar idea - I’m looking forward to hearing about your experience with it. How did you attach the extension?

It’s it seems to work. Someone else used a washer attached with e6800. I’ve thought about it, I just haven’t bit the bullet.
The ‘extension’ is something i lathed up. Very similar to the washer pic below. It is just a press fit (finger press). Not glued because I didn’t know if i would like it. Been edc’ing for several days now. No issues at all wtih accidental turn on. The extension has also not slipped off despite only being pressed on finger tight. Definitely a worthy mod IMO.
