FW3A Quad in a word…Yuck!

cabfrank · 2019-05-10T02:30:55.000Z

Why yuck?

I received my FW3A shipment and stuck 219Bs in one of them right away. Next up is sliced dog farts (5000K LH351D). The stock XP-L HI 3D is pretty ugly (Duv 0.0035 or worse on practical levels), but it’s much nicer with sw45k

Alot is cut off/out at the bezel, the beam is kinda Funky, outside on Turbo not too bad for the few seconds you can use it…. and I mean seconds…. I prefer the triple….

Fair enough. Still impressive skills though.

Yeah. Are you going to change it back, or try other emitters?

Oh my gosh !
CRI70, not a good Duv, desaturates most colors (over-saturates green-yellowish), lot of hue shifts and colors fidelity sucks.

I only ordered a Convoy desert S2+ with XP-L HI 3A and was done with XP-L HI. How could people always asking for this expensive and ugly thing for the sake of a tint and a bit longer but ephemeral turbo ?

I’ll be curious to read the report on the sliced DA0GF4RTs. I’m guessing not quite as nice looking as the 219B, about the same cd/lumen, but higher max output.

Thank you so much for the quad beam, looks funky indeed.

Amazing pictures and insight, thanks for uploading!
Great lights and mods, the only aspect that would irritate me personally is the rabbit

Firelight2 · 2019-05-10T09:28:51.000Z

Changed the emitters in my modded FW3A again tonight. Currently it’s sporting the following:

Two XPL HI 5D
One XPL HI 3D
Lee 279 minus-green filter.
Carclo 10507 optic.

I’ll give this a shot and see how I like it.

I wonder if Manker quad lens would fit in it? Should require trimming the TIR less, so be more efficient.

I have nothing against rabbits, I just prefer cats or dogs
