You need to upload the photos to a photo hosting service like Imgur. Once uploaded use the picture tool above your post to link the URL. In Imgur the link to use is the one for “direct link”. In that tool you can also scale the photo. I suggest 50 or 60%.

I hear that the new FW3As aren't being made very well, so these from the original run are the ones to get.

Good luck with the sale!

Thanks RC
Because of your info, I’ve read that thread, and have included driver images for clarification. :+1:

Nice sale! I have two original runs (titanium and sand) and they are much better than the new ones

I’ll listen to reasonable offers …. before they get packed away again.

Still available

Original run is actually referring to the first group-buy production run, which predates the titanium options. It also predates the colored options, and had limited LED options. It’s widely reported that the switches were superior on this run, and they lack some minor changes.

I sold - or maybe traded - my group buy light early on, when they did the first purple run. I didn’t notice much switch difference (neither was good enough to carry, though eventually with the o-ring mod the purple was improved) though I can report that the purple has a plastic retaining ring in the tail, and the original gray did not.

Yea I got a little over zealous, I meant to say early run, because mine also have retaining rings in the tail caps which I know the original ones did not.

but, my sand I bought in late 2019 and the titanium I know was bought on the first offering of that finish.

both the Ti and Sand have much thicker copper mcpcb's than the recent ones I got from Illumn & neals gadgets recently . Also the drivers were / are different.

i will say that i have an original run, it has given me zero trouble

usually i break lights in the first 6 months

3 years now

though it was only i think $30 or $35

anyway i am endorsing ‘original run fw3a’
though i hear some minor bugs that were present (muggle mode, something else) are now fixed

wle

Price now $50 each

I know, I know - dead thread, but I have to ask anyway.

My OG FW3A NW went walkabout about a year ago, and as great as the KR4 and FWAA I’ve gotten to replace it are, they don’t really scratch the itch the same way that light did.

Any chance you still have one or two up for grabs?

Wow, you scored! I never thought to look back this far!

That’s pretty cool!

I’ve had some items on Facebook Marketplace that were out there for so long that I forgotten about them and then all of sudden someone wants them.

But not almost 2 years like this one.

Do you still have available?
