Firelight2 glad you like the beam of the TS10, I also like the TS10 beam better than the too floody FWAA
fwiw, the TS10 uses less parts in the tail (no retaining ring, no spring, no hard plastic button in the middle of the rubber button)
than the FWAA
The TS10 also omits a lens over the optic.
I agree the TS10 switch is less easy to trigger, so I also like it better.
personally I prefer the form factor of the TS10, for me the FWAA is too much like a bowling pin, and cigar grip is not as secure. I flip the FWAA body to improve cigar retention.
I really like the Aux lights on the TS10 (mine are red), on lowest mode they are sufficient to find the light on my nightstand, and also to recognize which end is the head, by sight in the dark. I would not use the highest mode of the aux lights, as they will kill the battery in less than a week. Whereas the low mode lasts almost a year.
I also like the neutral tint (not green) of the 5500K TS10, however the Red Rendering is not as good as a Nichia. The CSP leds can be swapped for E21a if desired.
BallZac posted his E21a modded TS10 here
I agree the FWAA has a higher maximum, but to me that is irrelevant, since it is so brief, and thermal step down drops output instantly. The thermally sustainable output for both hosts is similar, about 300 lumens. And the TS10 beam is more focused, so the Lux is higher than on the FWAA.
fwiw, zumlin put a FWAA mcpcb into a TS10, but for me that is not helpful, because he had to use the FWAA optic… Unfortunately the TS10 optic does not fit the FWAA mcpcb
