FEELER: FW1A Titanium? FW3A copper/brass? FW21 PRO 3xXHP50.2?

Do you have any more details to share about the FW21 Pro? Available tint? Dimensions?

The idea of the FW21 Pro is great - how about this, a FW21 Pro with 4 emitters like the FW4x, instead of XHP50 3V LEDs? From what I hear, there are not many good tint options for the 3V XHP50s.

Personally I think having 4 emitters would be good, and fit the larger diameter well. The existing FW4x has a little bit of an odd proportion because the head is so large. Howe about 4x Luxeon Vs?

I'll probably be making a lume driver for the FW21 once I have the bugs worked out for the FW3x one. I have one FW21 just for this purpose.

I would welcome the idea of 4 emitters that are high quality and high cri.

YES!

At last someone with normal vision.

XHP50.2 3V doesn’t look good in any flashlight where LuxV is amazing.

Supported with your driver this could be a real performer.

This just got very interesting. What'd be the expected deference between 3 and 4 emitters. About the same output? More heat? Thanks in advance.

Are these being sold by Neal?

M4D_M4X · February 28, 2020, 10:09am

since he asked them to produce i asume Neal gets the first wave / groupbuy

after that Lumintop will propably sell them direct / via their other partners

Umpi2000 · February 28, 2020, 2:24pm

Luxeon MZ with OP reflector? Or frosted optic?

id30209 · February 28, 2020, 3:34pm

Neither, Luxeon V is something else. The best non HiCri beam i’ve seen so far. XHP50.2 looks like puke next to it

Majoroverkill · February 28, 2020, 4:15pm

I will wait for Lumentop, thanks

VrestoTaylor · February 28, 2020, 4:45pm

no other pictures yet?

M4D_M4X · February 28, 2020, 7:42pm

many factories are still not back to business

Firelight2 · February 28, 2020, 8:19pm

I wouldn’t be surprised if manufacturing is disrupted for 6 months or more due to the Coronavirus.

Scavenger177 · February 29, 2020, 9:43pm

I’m assuming the FW21 PRO 3xXHP50.2 will draw like 25 amps??

Majoroverkill · February 29, 2020, 10:03pm

It will be interesting to see how the FW21 PRO compares to my Nightwatch NSX3 at an estimated 9900 lumens. The NSX3 pulls 35 amps according to Neals sight with 3 XHP50.2’S.

id30209 · February 29, 2020, 10:05pm

Victor Zhu said Lumintop won’t producing these for some time due to flu :(

Majoroverkill · February 29, 2020, 10:26pm

Sad But it will be worth the wait.

KawiBoy1428 · February 29, 2020, 10:34pm

I get… 9200lm at 29.2 amps on a 30T in a C8F 3x50.2 3v

:cowboy_hat_face: A fun toy…

M4D_M4X · February 29, 2020, 10:36pm

i guess thst what they calculate with

Majoroverkill · February 29, 2020, 10:59pm

WOW! That’s one cool looking flashlight, love the design.
