Yeah i kinda doubt they’ll go with expensive option.
I have diferent option on my mind for these exotics.

Just bought 2 new Lux-RC 371V2 engines and i will use stock striped driver as a signal carrier to the board. That will be freaking amazing, running on 18650 or 2x18350 for more output.

That is a very interesting idea to use the original driver board for it’s contacts, paired with another driver. The 371 is a combined driver+emitter board, right? That should make the integration straightforward.

Running on 18650 seems fine, but I don’t think 2 x 18350 will fit in this body, since protected 18650 don’t fit. Maximum cell length, at least for the original FW3A, is 66mm.

[id30209]

I don’t mind running it only on 18650 as long as i can pair these epic parts.

[M4D_M4X]

i am looking forward to that!

That blue ti looks so nice !

^this, might get one just to match my blue Ti AAA Tool from Drop.

Well, this picture matches the picture of the blue Ti AAA Tool from Drop.
Bought one too. Worked like a charm, right out of the box.

But I’m sorry to say that the actual blue of my Ti Tool was somewhat watered down.
And since both are made by Lumintop: blue Ti might not be the same blue as blue aluminum.

Will they ever consider mokume with brass, copper, AND nickel? The silver pop looks real nice.

[M4D_M4X]

thats a nice idea!

Will the Blue Titanium version get the driver withe the aux leds?

[M4D_M4X]

[MandM78]

Any progress updates on these? (I’m like a kid at Christmas….)

[lightdecay]

Latest update I saw was 5 days ago in the thread about the new drivers. Looks like the new driver will definitely happen for this group buy - which is good news - and Lumintop will be making them available for the foreseeable future - which is even better news.

Lume1-FW3X: Constant Current Buck-Boost & FET Driver with Anduril1/2 + RGB Aux

Thanks everyone for the great feedback so far, and thanks everyone for your patience. Just a quick update - the first batch of Lume1-FW3X drivers have been produced. I am arranging to getting some shipped to me so I can validate the build since I have no idea how they turned out yet! In addition, a lot of people have asked about Aux boards. Neal has produced some RGB AUX boards. https://imgur.com/po5GYL3 Here's a very quick GIF of what Neal sent over. Tweaking of resistor values in progres…

It would be great if we could get an updated ETA for this group buy, the ETA we were given previously was June 8.

Lumintop FW3T “Damascus”&”Mokume” + WORM UPDATE

veröffentlicht am 21. June 2020 in flashlights von m4d m4x

Hello my dear friends!

Neal sent me some news for our groupbuy:
(Lumintop FW3T in Mukume, Damast and Titanium Blue)

1. DRIVER
   The Lume1 driver is in testing, the designer already received the samples – you can follow here : https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/60947/178

2. Knurling and led options:
after the group buy, will just have one option of the knurling
The led options maybe just keep 2 or 3

3. want regular driver?
The final products (FW3T with the Lume1) will be ready in a few weeks, depending on changes (or not) from the designer

BUT if someone wants the regular driver we can have them made within a week!
(to compensate the price i offer a discount on DIY Lume1 set when its ready)

About the AAA lumintop worm mokume & damast:

The price will be about $70
For those who order 2pcs FW3A mokume and damast we offer a 50% off coupon for the worm, buy 3pcs will get a 100% off coupon for the worm!

That ti Worm is WOW

[ahirshy]

This is great Martin & Neal!

Is there any chance of these editions (particularly the Ti/Blue) being offered with the Copper head option?
I only ever saw this as an option on Neals website for the regular FW3T (TI + CU)

I wanted to purchase the above item last month, however I asked Neal if he could hold dispatch for the Lume1 driver availability, for him to fit in this model.

He advised me to wait for the Lume1 release before ordering, which I was doing - except now this model is sold out!

I have my name on the GroupBuy list for these special editions, and would definitely like the option to have the CU head in the Blue Ti.

Hope this is possible through Neal's supply and components...

How do we sign up for the Damascus worm? And is it possible that they will go with a flat tail like the regular Worm so it can tail stand?
