I really like the size of this light. Though I do think that FW1AA would be more practical. At the same time…I wonder whether it would be possible to convince Lumintop to make a zoomie on the basis of this body…
Hi fellow flashlight enthusiasts. Just made it official and joined the blf community. Long overdue, I’ve been building/modding convoy lights for 2yrs. Officially a tint snob these days. Hope this group buy is still going. I p.m’d freeme
FWAA Nichia 4000k on the left, IF25A SST-20 4000K on the right. I don’t own a “mule” (ie. Nova-Mu), for comparison, but if I had to describe the beam on the FWAA (with this emitter), it would be “mule like”. Wicked floody. Rosy tint for sure, very pleasant.
Didn’t realize it’s the same code, thanks. This is my first group buy and was very excited to get it. Just ordered 2 of the bundles and spare batteries.
Wow with all these pics showing the 219c 4000k to be rosier than the SST-20 4000k, I guess I will have to just go ahead and buy it. The 219C 4000k from the original FW3A was much greener than the SST-20 4000k and I measured the DUV to be very high. Seems Lumintop got a much better batch this time. Hopefully that is true.
I do agree that is very important aspect for business. Unfortunately, it is process that will consume a large portion of your time and extra manpower if you really wish to achieve high customer satisfaction standard.
Yes, you are correct although it’s a very poor excuse for what Neal does. Spending time to make sure your customers are satisfied and are not inconvenienced is part of doing business and to me if you are in the business there’s really no excuse for not doing it. Especially for almost 2 years.
Sorry, I know this is the wrong thread for this post.
hm how do u activate the different strobe modes? cant seem to get that to work ? its 2 clicks and third click hold click ? or 3 clicks and hold 4 ? either way its not working. on fw 186 and fw21 its 2 clicks and hold the third click to acccess strobe modes but no luck on the fwaa 2 clicks and hold click nr 3…strange… what am i doing wrong?
You are probably in the Simple UI, so you need to change to the Advanced UI. From OFF, make 10 clicks and on the last one hold it. The light will blink once and then you will be in the Advanced UI.
Then, you make those 3 clicks and hold the last one. When you start the blinking modes, you can double click to alternate between them.
Am I correct that top of ramp and turbo are the same on this light? Still getting used to Anduril 2…curious that they would choose this for an FWxx light. I guess they wanted Simple UI?
I reset mine to factory first, followed by this step to ensure that it ramps to highest level.
Ramp Config Menu

To configure the ceiling level, each click goes one level lower. So 1 click sets the highest possible level, 2 clicks is the 2nd-highest, 3
clicks is the 3rd-highest level, etc. To set the default of 120/150,
click 31 times.
I didn’t need it. But I did it. I got the Nichia 4000k since I have a crap ton of SST-20 lights already. I also got a battery, a new charger, and some of the brass 18350 tubes for Convoy S2. I assume the brass tubes are for the old trapezoidal threaded convoys rather than the newer square threaded ones. Does anyone know for sure? I have some of both, so either way I’ll be able to use them.
