FW3A COLORS! (TK edition added)

Lumi?

i do not know which business agreements Lumintop or Nealsgadgets have with her

i personally am a patreon of hers for long time....

Updated mine with one purple and two raw short tubes

What if you want the short tube as well as the 18650 tube? Maybe make the short tube as an extra.

Couple of years later… Lumintop considers making the light like we asked for in the very first place.

From OP:

Seems you need to buy a 18650 light anyway :frowning:

Thanks for that I miss read it. Just added the tube on the list.

correct

the short tube is ONLY the tube - not a complete light.

if you have a colored 18650 already you can just buy a short tube only

but keep in mind the color could be different a bit

Maybe a little cheer for the purple …

Do you need a 100 of each colour for it to be available. Or is it just min 100 in total, but all colours available?

Also, do these switch on in your pocket?

They say 100 of each, even the 18350 .

Thats a shame. I’d be up for a green but only 5 on the list, so that ain’t going to happen.

Or maybe a tan, but only 12 of those so far. So I’d guess unlikely.

Purple sounds great, but it looks very pinky purple in the pictures. :frowning:

Please add one each short tube colored to match.
Thanks

Maybe you mean the same thing as me. The OP says:

From that I understand that the TK edition will be made if more than 100 orders for it are received.
Same goes for every other color: minimum 100 items per color.

Milling etc. is the same for every version. But each color demands a special setup/bath.
I’m not sure about the short tubes. They can be dipped into the same bath as the 18650’s.

It’s a pity, because at the moment only purple (without the short tube) has a chance. People have probably bought too many flashlights of this series.
Maybe if someone post this post on r/flashlights, more colors and short tubes would have a chance to be realized.

Or at a minimum, keeping it on the first page .

Well I’ve put myself down for a green. Think that makes 6 in total, so almost certainly no chance.

Too pricey for a colour I don’t really want though. Not knocking the price, but I’m sure you know what I mean.

I feel they could (and maybe should) make the raw version even if it doesn’t make 100. It’ll be less work than anodising, and it’s what the light was supposed to be from the beginning

+100

Take an extra 100 and skip the ano baths. Done.

You’re right . But purple is not .

you are correct
Neal needs to order 100+ FOR EACH COLOR OR ITEM to get them make a batch for him
