FW4A and HL3A interest and discussion thread

HL3A (CW XPL HI) peaks @2500 Lumen

For how long ?
What is the lumens say 6 or 7 minutes later?
Will it step up again if it has cooled enough?

as in every anduril flashlight that depends heavily on the ambient temperature and the used cell

starting on turbo will get you lower on the 5 min mark because the heat pushed in the light from the beginning
dimming up and staying on a certain level will give you higher long run numbers

a potent cell will produce more heat and lower # at 5 mins than a weak cell also!

thats why i really dont like runtimes - too many variables and too many people nagging that their run was different..



i have a side project to get such tests in a controlled, compareable environment
but i lack of time and money to finish that fast :(

I find it odd that the headlamp don’t have the same style and color body but I like it. The samll size is very impressive. I guess there will be also an option for SST-20 95CRI 4000K?
Can you do a review and a comparison with the Astrolux HL01?

if i get one - sure

very nice gif from my review yesterday!

Hi Martin,
Max tested lumens for each?

Argh, if the headlight was anodized gray much like the fw3a, it would be much better. Instead it looks like a fireflies knockoff. Bad!

It's in the video

I can write it down later

Interested in both lights

Another nudge for the FW421

Interested in FW4A!

Is the lens on the HL3a the same one as the FW3a? What is the thickness & diameter? I’m considering a sapphire lens but am not sure which one to get.

same

21.7x1mm lens in mine

Received it today. Wow this was fast! Excellent light and even smaller than a AA headlamp. The SST 20 tint is good, I don’t detect much green. The headband is also good quality in bright orange with reflective film.
The L shape makes it comfortable to hold as the weigh sit on your index. The light is so small you can’t have a full grip on it while holding it.

I agree that the pocket clip is not perfect, its wobbly and not secure enough. I switch it with the Skillhunt H15, now its much better and even has deeper clip carry.

good idea!

That clip is perfect!
