interested

I would be interested, but this could easily be done in the same body style with a 21700. The 21700 would make more sense in this case and would not be much bigger.

Thanks for the beam shot. That does look good.

I like that idea. It’s certainly more interesting to me than the triple 21700 version.

Interested if the 80 or 90 cri xhp50 is utilized.

Given the problems they’ve had with quality control manufacturing the 18650 version, do you really want them to go through all that again by redesigning the body and switch? It took 2 years to get the 18650 version issues mostly resolved. Redesigning for 21700 is asking for problems. Is that worth it for just 33% more capacity but a non-pocketable version?

I suppose I just don’t understand the desire for the 21700 format. It’s not that much of an improvement in capacity or power than what we already have with 18650. And it’s so much less pocketable. Chargers haven’t even caught up with the format yet, unless you like to cram your cells in.

Any updates? Definitely still interested.

Fyi jc customs is making these for anyone who doesn’t want to wait…

BOO5TED · 2019-12-17T02:10:22.000Z

Saw that but it’s a pre-order. No word on time of availability though.

Any idea what the CCT is on this one? I want to order one but I’d prefer 4000K. I’ll still order as long as it’s 5500K or less.

M4D_M4X · 2019-12-23T16:10:05.000Z

I am waiting for Lumintop to confirm

Thro · 2019-12-23T16:19:37.000Z

will the FW1A Pro come in any other colors ?

M4D_M4X · 2019-12-24T01:14:02.000Z

i would not be surprized :D

captainkirk · 2020-01-01T15:58:34.000Z

Anybody have one of these new FW1A pro models in hand for a review or at least a report on tint shift? Nice to know what to expect from these as opinions are all over the place as to how bad or great they might be.

Thanks,

Captainkirk

Not sure if this video fills in all your blanks……

I’m shocked at how bad that green corona is. As I said in this post I have a Zebralight SC600w IV Plus with the 50.2 emitter, and it’s quite acceptable as far as tint shift goes. Not perfect, but nowhere near as bad as in Madmax’s video. I also have a high CRI 50.2 in a Zebra H600Fc, which looks perfect. However, that is because it uses a frosted lens to smooth out the imperfections. Still, I think I’d still see a tint shift if it was as bad as in the video.

Either Lumintop is getting a bad reel of emitters, or Zebralight is getting a good reel, or that’s an artifact in the video. Hopefully, it’s not what all samples look like in person. The 50.2 emitter in the FW1A is a nice idea, but not with that tint. :confounded:
