Received my HL3A today. Super fast shipping from China- ordered march 11th and got it march 25th. Two weeks, and free shipping. Good job getting it out quckly Neal.

Got it in XPLHI 3d tint. I like it better than my FW3A…switch is more reliable and the light is way smaller- shorter and smaller battery tube/ tailcap, so it fits in my pocket really nice.

They missed the boat on a couple things: the clip kinda sucks, and the switch is still vulnerable to accidental turn on because just like the FW3A the switch is big, and flush with the tail end. I figure I can make something to bolt onto the body over the switch.

The groove that the clip fits into is 1) too wide for the clip, and 2) the walls of the groove are at too shallow of an angle so the clip pops out when under extreme stress. This could be improved so easily, with just a little modification in the machining of the body.

Thermal stepdown is way way off so I’ll have to recalibrate it.
