me too… I just received a fw1a and it has “lumintop”, “fw1a” and “hot” and serial number on the bezel. The Lumintop actually doesn’t look bad, but its just a lot of typography on the bezel of a light where my first edition tan fw3a has absolutely no writing at all on it. and neither does my brass fw3a that i bought last month. so maybe we will be lucky with the raw at least??
I hope that us who took the initiative to sign up and commit early get our lights?? i didn’t even think that was something i had to worry about? That would be pretty ridiculous if they sold out and people who signed up here didn’t get the light they wanted.
Speaking of this -
Max, how does this work? I have never done a signup with you before, do you account for the lights people signed up for? How are the LED options assigned? is it split evenly between all the options (i.e. : 20 sst20, 20 nichia, 20 xpl hi 5000k, etc), or is what people wanted for their signup is what is being produced?
Also, are only 100 being produced? or did this open up production for more than 100, and 100 was just needed to get the process started?
Sorry, i’m a little worried now as i am not always on top of notifications and theres a chance that if i need to order mine the day it drops ill be SH out of luck…
I assume it won’t be possible to get it with a Lume1 driver and aux LEDs as that would increase the cost, and as far as I know Neil doesn’t build-to-order like Simon. However if there is an option to get a Lume1 pre-installed I’ll definitely take it.
