Hello, what is the minimum current the led driver gives?

I measured 23 micro amps. So super low parasitic drain.

When the LED is on, it gets 0.0000023A?

0.000023A, 23uA
Led off, parasitic drain.
You want to know the amp draw on moonlight?
I could not get the light to turn on with the tail switch removed. Maybe someone else was more successful than me.

Hello. Just bought one from lumintop. They made terrible engravings on body and tailcap Where can I buy clean one? Without any logos and engravings on body?

Ouch. Do you have a picture of it? I think you are the first to note this.
I guess Neal still has clean ones, but I would ask him first.

Roughly 18.5mA on moonlight, ramping mode, XPL HI 3A.
I get 24.4µA on standby.

While those are engravings (or printings), I would call them normal--not terrible.
If you want a flashlight without them, that's fine, but those are pretty normal for flashlights.
EDIT:
I just noticed that my two FW3As don't have the engravings/printings, so I see the problem.
By the way, I like the bunny, but I don't care for the printed text, though that's not really here nor there.

Yes, it’s normal for regular flashlight, but not for this stylish product. FW3A has beautiful clean author’s design out of the box. No reason to trash it.

I agree with imshara. For this particular light the clean look is one of best “features”. Lumintop is allowed to change this of course, but it would have been nice if they would announce it first.

The Playboy-logo tail … I don’t like but not a dealbreaker.
The huge warning on the bezel … They totally ruined the clean look of the FW3A. Idiots.
Between this and the problems with FW1A reflectors I think trained monkeys would do a better job of running the company.

That’s Lumintops logo, not the playboy bunny lol. I actually like the button, the rest of the engravings I can do without. Simple fix for the head bezel, just get a stainless one or this new style from JC Customs.

Not many reactions to this. I would think whole blf would be indignant.
Whole BLF has thousands of FW3A and doesn’t need more.
