I was thinking the same thing :+1: , and if it could come with the new style 2way clip (the old style sucks) and in any other color than boring black…. :sunglasses:
Times are bad my friend... Factories cannot too afford to have too much unsold products in the inventory. I predict most flashlight manufacturers would scale down their collections or new releases in the coming months. I wouldn't be surprised if manufacturer announce their exit too. Hopefully, situation would improve by this July.
Has anyone else noticed a major, hard stepdown on Turbo mode on this model? I have the FW3A, FW21 Pro, FW X9L, FWAA but none of these models reduce their output within the first 3-6 seconds that much.
I have observed this behavior on two identical FW3X with XP-L HI V2 3A. Both lights were calibrated to 21°C room temperature when cold and to 55°C stepdown temperature. I used a fully charged VTC6 battery. The flashlight heads got barely handwarm after the first turbo run but significantly hot after several turbo runs.
According to my observation there’s either a hardcoded, timed output reduction after some seconds or the temperature sensing in the Lume1 driver seems to be oversensitive. Bottom line: Turbo mode seems more or less unusable in the FW3X and a big disappointment. :-(
