Operating instructions:
Gear adjustment (default):
Regular gears: low bright - medium bright - high bright (with gear memory)
Hidden gears: energy-saving gear, very bright gear (without memory)
Click the switch to turn on, click again to change gears, long press 1 second to turn off
Energy-saving gear: long press 1 second to enter the energy-saving gear in the off state, click to enter the regular gear cycle, long press 1 second to shut down.
Extremely bright gear: double-click to enter the extremely bright in the power-on state, click to enter the regular gear cycle, long press 1 second to shut down
power prompt: shutdown state, three consecutive clicks switch into the power prompt: such as 3.8V = the main light flashes 3 times in a row, a small suspension and then flash 8 times in a row, cycle 3 times and then shut down (or you can directly click to shut down)
Locked mode: four consecutive blows in the off state to enter the lock mode, click the switch to open the low light, release both extinguished, four consecutive blows to unlock or power off to unlock.
Color temperature adjustment:
Shutdown state double-click to enter the color temperature mode (color temperature adjustment without memory)
Click for five color temperature cycle: 3000K-4000K-4500K-5000K-6500K, double-click the selected color temperature after shutdown
Long press the switch for the color temperature long 3000K-6500K stepless adjustment (not cyclic), let go of the long press again to reverse the stepless adjustment of color temperature, to be adjusted to the desired color temperature after the release to determine, double-click to shut down, if you let go of the click to enter the five-speed color temperature mode.
Operation Instruction and Mode Group Settings:
ONIOFF: One-click the switch for ON, press, and hold the switch for 1 second to turn OFF.

It's a simplify version of Anduril. Not much memory work required if you already have experience with Anduril.
Not interested in the light but I’m going to say that using two different LED will make the beam an uneven mess, XP-L HI or 219C, choose one.
I`ve tested FW4X and Sofirn IF25 with two different LED types and they dont`t make uneven beams…
Not true.
Order placed
- Does this mean the driver is using a attiny85 chip and can be flashed to Anduril?
- Will there be Ti and Cu versions made?
I didn’t notice initially that it uses a frosted lens, so yeah in this case there shouldn’t be any significant issues with the beam.
But it’s click and hold to turn off. Not for me. I only have one light that does the same and it is always frustrating to remember that.
It really would’ve been nice if the color control was made as a menu shunt off of the main Anduril UI menu. Anduril is so rich… and sacrificing that for temperature control is too much of a disappointment. If it doesn’t sell well, maybe Lumintop will reconsider this for a replacement.
Unfortunately, that is probably one of the reason why it does not appeal to the general public.
It is a good to have feature but it is never a "must have" function when i shop for my flashlight.
Well, with primary Anduril 2, you get a light in Simple UI mode and the user can simply stay in Simple. It’s actually quite nice. But it would be nice to then add the 2 separate emitter cluster controls as another menu item. And also make that available in Advanced. So if a light is equipped with 3 emitters, it’ll be 2 groups where one has emitters #1 & #2, and second has just emitter #3. And with 4 emitters, two sets of 2 emitters. Doesn’t matter what tint. But if a light is designed with 2 sets of different temperature emitters, they’d be mounted in the predefined groups for independent control.
Please answer
FW4X's driver looks different to me.
So it would probably need its own version of Anduril, if it can run it. We would need to see the other side of the driver too, to see if it has an ATTiny85 chip or not. Would you be able to show that?
Also, do you know if there are plans for Ti / Cu?
Would be all over this if high cri through the range. 2700k/ 5000k lh351d or 2000k/ 5000k e21a as examples.
Interested freeme. Thanks
See first post link.
Long press for off. Fail.
Yeah, I take back my earlier comment. Leds can be swapped but this ui and heavy thermal step-down are big issues. A shame, as lumintop finally got 900lm sustained in the fw3x not long ago.
Which light is that?
I thought the FW3A could only do around 300 lumen sustained.
It can do a lot more than that--I'm thinking at least 900 lumens sustained.

900 sustained in an ice bath maybe. Take from the review below “Without any cooling or heatsinking (air, hand) the maximum sustained output is below 300 lumens if you want to keep the surface temperature below 50°C.”

That has not been my experience with the FW3A.
The FW3A can easily sustain 900 lumens without any cooling.

300lm is rather low even for warm climate countries.
Is that just your impression or have you tested it in an integrating sphere?
My recollection from reading reviews of people who did test their lights for runtime and output was that the FW3A sustains around 300 lumens (and that’s the cool white XPL HI version) and the Emisar D4 (also XPL HI version) only sustains around 500 lumens.
Sustaining high output is actually quite difficult for small single cell lights. Even a Zebralight SC700, which uses a 21700 cell and is much larger than an FW3A with vastly superior heatsinking and an XHP 70.2 led barely manages to sustain 1000 lumens.
I own several FW3As and I think the estimate of around 300 lumens sustained is about right. These are tiny pocket rockets with no real heatsinking. It’s not surprising they dim fast. My Zebralight SC64w and SC64w HI stabilize at a much higher output than an FW3A… not suprising considering how good Zebralight’s heatsinking is (unibody construction with lots of heat sink fins).
I do not have an integrating sphere, but I know what approximately 900 lumens looks like.
