Any carclo UK suppliers we know of please ?
Fancy trying a few different optics in my Fw3a.
Thank you.
Well I broke down and had to order my second FW3A, Blue with the SST-20. How can I pass up High CRI.
The SST-20s that Lumintop are using are divine. So are the 219Cs to be honest. Not a visible hint of green to me, and Iām quite sensitive about tint.
As for the futureelectronics site, unfortunately it seems that there are some quite high minimum order quantities. Iām also in the UK and wish to buy a selection of different optics to try out. I need to remember to check out Arrow and Mouser to see if they will allow me to purchase single units without prohibitively expensive shipping.
Iām still searching for a source of 10621 optics that isnāt hugely expensive for shipping. At least I can order 10507s from China for cheapā¦ Would be interested if you find anything.
the 219C that SKV and myself received was not good. Next to the SST-20 itās visibly higher Duv.
It has lower CRI than both Samsung and SST-20 and worse tint than both with too high current draw to top it all off. I do have a good 219C specimen from years ago but this is not it. (at least in my sample of 1 FW3A)
Have anyone tried UK Amazon for Carclo optics?
When ordering a new optic do we also need a new lens for the newer FW3a models does anyone know? I may just order from Nealās gadgets to be sure. Might as well get another light when Iām at it 
Yes. The New optics are solid one piece.
I ordered a lens with my recent order to be sure
Haha, nice. Glad you linked to that post or I wouldnāt have noticed the reference.
Unrelated note - nobody has received a raw aluminium FW3A yet have they? I ordered one yonks ago, but it still hasnāt shown up despite the other stuff I ordered at the same time (including a purple FW3A) arriving weeks ago. I just checked on my order and I can see that the raw aluminium one hasnāt even been shipped yet.
They were delayed, the last date was 9/12
Are there any plans for other colors? Red and black for example. Or how about a brass version? Can we make these happen?
Iād like a red head, clear-ish body and blue tail cap please
Yesterday i got FW3TC with 219C and i can confirm the tint is awefull.
These are going to be swaped out for sure.
And that was the week of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wouldnāt be surprised if the celebration caused a delay.
so a 21700 version is coming now , interesting.
