Interested in the headlamp

48

21700 quad would make the most sense since there already exist the very similar Emisar D4.

Don’t really see a good reason for the HL3A since the Fireflies PL47 eclipse this in every way.

49

Definitely interested.

Thanks

FW214 is my choice please

52

Interested

53

There will be a different. Triple leds will draw less current then less heat and better timing stepdown than the PL47G2 which has quad leds. Ofcourse just a bit tad lower in brightness for HL3A, but pretty much stable output. But if the offer price, which I’m suspect, probably lower than PL47 G2, that could attract some interest. My 2cent. :student:

54

Intrested most definitely!

55

Will the FW4A be in 21700 form or 18650? In my opinion I believe it should be 21700.

56

Interested HL3A, any colors other than black?

57

Yes I think the same, they should make quad with a 21700, it looks strange to me with that big head now…

About headlamp - believe me or not, 20 min ago I was thinking: “There is so much FW3A variants, why not making headlamp?”
And there it is :partying_face: It looks…ok, but also I’m afraid it’s not well balanced. This head looks much heavier than the rest and if those two grooves are for headband mount, then it will feel heavier on one side and be uncomfortably to wear.

58

The first post is empty for me.

59

Interested in HL3A. But I think the head maybe is needed to be redesigned for better heat dissipations.

60

Interested.

61

Count me in on both!

62

I edited the OP

can everyone see the pictures now?

63

Interested!

I would be interested in a 21700 version of the FW4A, if it will happen

66

Hum, I’ve been thinking about what people are saying here, the desire of a FW4A with 21700 body.

It raises me some questions, and I will present them to help me deciding if I am interested or not in the FW4A with 18650 body, or if I would support the idea of a FW4A with 21700 body.

So, assuming that we will use a 21700 cell/host:
a) would we have more efficiency and more runtime with 4 leds instead of 3 leds?
b) would we have a “lot more” or just a “little more” heat with 4 leds instead of 3?

My questions are honest and are due to some things:
If the efficiency is lower (?), if the runtime is lower (?), if the heat is higher (?) with 4 leds, do I still want a 4 leds head even if the battery is bigger ?

Please help me answering these questions !
Thanks in advance!
