FREEME ✌ LUMINTOP FWAA Andúril 2 14500 Titanium+CU★/ Titanium/ Copper Flashlight Group Buy >>> ALIVE

Thanks for pointing out the bundle!

I’ve got the same copper SST-20 4000K bundle sitting in my cart, trying to decide whether to hold out for the Ti/Cu. I’m leaning towards just getting the plain copper now.

My biggest concern with all titanium is whether the pill can take the heat. If it gets too hot in there the bondwires might desolder themselves from the star. However, the thermal sensor on the driver should protect against this. Hopefully. I never had any problems with overheating on my pure Ti FW3A so the FWAA should probably be fine.

For pure copper my concern is a bit different. The copper might transmit the heat just a bit too well. Sure it can probably run on turbo longer… but the entire light will heat up at a similar rate leaving no safe place to hold the light. You might need an oven mitt to run it on turbo.

Ti-Cu might be the sweet spot. Good heat conduction from the star, while the back end of the Titanium body tube stays cool so you can actually hold the thing when the head gets hot.

Orderd a copper nichia 4000k fwaa

Thank you for your support! :beer:

Any chance to get not engraved?

I doubt so. Unless you are talking about bulk order exceeding of several hundreds of a same model.

want

He has a lot of nice glow product ideas

I dont mind paying for quality work… cry once…

I just cant cut three perfect circles by hand…, so to make my own glow gaskets would require making molds and jigs, or buying stamping tools, etc…

for diy on a budget, I agree glow tape works well enough

for my Fancy FWAA w Sapphire Lens, a glow gasket would be most attractive to me.

Pity. My FW3A from groupbuy arrived clean.

Ordered a Ti-Cu SST20 4000k. Thanks!

about heat conductivity

I was surprised to learn that Brass is less conductive than Aluminium…

choices are good

Once the metal is saturated there is little difference between copper and aluminium. Copper might absorb the heat faster but aluminium emits the heat faster

Can anyone advise on the tint of the Nichia 219C 3000K please?

To my knowledge none of this batch has shipped as yet so nobody knows

IF they are using the same batch as they have done in the alu versions, then it’s very nice indeed. I got the 3000k and 4000k in those, and I’ve ordered the Cu-Ti with st-20 4000k hoping for a good tint and a touch more throw

Ordered a Ti/Cu Nichia 3000K! Would have liked a Nichia 4000K (in Ti/Cu) but all sold out! Gotta be fast! :wink:

Thank you Freeme/Nealsgadget for setting up this group buy!

which post has photos of fwaa next to fw3a ?

When I receive my Ti/Cu, I’ll take another pic. Till then…
