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

the 219C that SKV and myself received was not good. Next to the SST-20 it’s visibly higher Duv.

It has lower CRI than both Samsung and SST-20 and worse tint than both with too high current draw to top it all off. I do have a good 219C specimen from years ago but this is not it. (at least in my sample of 1 FW3A)

Have anyone tried UK Amazon for Carclo optics?

RS Components have 10508 & 10509 available in packs of two.

When ordering a new optic do we also need a new lens for the newer FW3a models does anyone know? I may just order from Neal’s gadgets to be sure. Might as well get another light when I’m at it :slight_smile:

Yes. The New optics are solid one piece.
I ordered a lens with my recent order to be sure

I made a candle diffuser for my TK special edition FW3A but you might have to squint to see it.

Haha, nice. Glad you linked to that post or I wouldn’t have noticed the reference.

Unrelated note - nobody has received a raw aluminium FW3A yet have they? I ordered one yonks ago, but it still hasn’t shown up despite the other stuff I ordered at the same time (including a purple FW3A) arriving weeks ago. I just checked on my order and I can see that the raw aluminium one hasn’t even been shipped yet.

They were delayed, the last date was 9/12

Are there any plans for other colors? Red and black for example. Or how about a brass version? Can we make these happen?

Yesterday i got FW3TC with 219C and i can confirm the tint is awefull.

These are going to be swaped out for sure.

And that was the week of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the celebration caused a delay.

so a 21700 version is coming now , interesting.

Do You have a link to t his news?

[M4D deal] 21700 FW3A presale list I believe this is the thread for the the groupbuy.

Saw it Flashlight Fanatics FB group and the post below from this thread.

This post was merely a joke about how Lumintop are really milking the FW series … it is not really their 2020 lineup

However the 21700 version is real

:D

i think they try to offer a version to any taste

Well damn, you got me lol. :smiley:
