not a fan of the cigar grip.

Depp carry clip gets my vote.

I LIKE that the button is large (looks same size as fw3a) and not scaled down to fit the new diameter. Makes for easier commands and looks great!

The 5000k SST-20s are puke green too, the only ones worth anything are the good binned 4000k and warmer.

Interested in Nichia 4000K maybe 5000

This. Wonder if it’s the same as the FWXX buttons? I’ve got a few of the ToyKeeper versions that would be awesome on it.

Less real estate on the button end to press it down as you clip it into your pocket. More likely to turn it on in the process.

All the more reason to use the electronic lock out.

If my light needs electronic lockout in my pocket, it has failed as a pocket carry. I’m unwilling to bother with remembering to both lockout and unlock a light every time it’s in/out of my pocket, and worry about the consequences if I forget to do so, when exist alternatives that do not require such diligence. And personally I consider a “pocket burn” a rather severe consequence for something as simple as forgetting to quadruple-tap my light when I put it away.

I would use electronic lockout for storage in a bag or something, but at that point it’s just as easy to do a physical lockout on most lights (FW3A being a notable exception).

You can also just turn the head a bit so it doesn’t activate. I’ve had my FW3A since they first came out and carry it regularly. Never once has tapping the button four times(literally takes less than two seconds) to unlock/lock the light ever bothered me.

I agree with Scallywag, doing Morse code every time to turn the light on and off makes it less desirable

4 clicks on and off bothers me…
so I have 3-click lock and unlock. This is not only faster but my fingers tend to make mistakes when fast clicking a number of times, so this is more reliable as well.
I also have autolockout, so I rarely actually 3-click lock. So instead of 8 clicks back and forth I use 4. Or 3 because I sometimes twist-untwist the tailcap to turn off and lockout. As much work as a physical lockout, but

  • I still have aux LEDs that act as locators and voltage check
  • I can access momentary hold-to-moon and click-hold-to-default I can often use the light without even unlocking it

Fair enough :laughing: just 6500k for me is worse, why size is the mcpcb? Why can’t xpl-hi “fit”?
Single sided DEEP CARRY pocket clip is definitely my preference too. Interface can be the same as the FW3A, I too suffer from pocket activations on my FW, burnt 3 of my pockets out, luckily not my leg, so a firmer button press would be greatly appreciated if it can be done during production.

Flashlight Long press for on/off

BLF You shall burn at the stake

Different Flashlight 4 clicks for on/off

BLF Fine with me

:person_facepalming:

Humor aside, my take is that I refuse to carry a light that isn’t one click on/off. The FW3A originally made it about two or three days as my EDC before it got booted for my old SC63w at the time. I waited and anticipated the release of the light for years and had my bubble popped in a big way by the accidental activations. This is what motivated me to develop the o-ring mod. Since then, I’ve EDCd the FW 98% of the time.

With the number of options in the flashlight world, settling for an EDC that requires finger gymnastics isn’t something I’m willing to do. YMMV

XP-L Hi is the same footprint, and has no dome to interfere with the optic, so I have no clue why they say it won’t “fit” Sounds like BS to me.

Very excited for this. Is it possible to receive accurate specs on the dimensions of the light? I understand some output specs are on the way, but the measurements of the light itself seem readily available,

Thanks

I’m already on the list, but I’d like the Nichia 4000k.

A deep pocket carry clip would be great.
