[BlueSwordM]

@vresto, since it has the same driver and LEDs as the FW3A, runtimes should be the same:

Dimensions? About the same as the FW3A. A bit smaller.

Pretty much same as FW3A.

[M4D_M4X]

runtimes depend on the cell you use (type, age, temperature etc) and which of the 150 levels you choose ;)

i should receive a final light next week and will give all dimensions

@M4D M4X

Didn’t you already do that in this video?

Don’t choose by which is brighter, go by user interface. This will determine if you like it or hate it.

low mid hi turbo is my mantra:)) more or less…no dimming) thats all:)

@M4D M4X

still no YES for the short tube

Thanks for the answer Martin!
I am honest, I will only buy this light in case the short tube is available! Other wise I will go straight forward just for the Emisar D4V2 (that I will buy no matter what)!
As usually, I am looking for the short tubes to have some versatility in length, and although I prefer thinner lights (14500s or 16340s) having this with a 18350 would be a pleasant light to carry!

Thanks and I will be looking for updates :+1:

[lightboks]

Interested, please send me the code.

Will there be a short tube and a recessed button option?

[M4D_M4X]

PN sent

short tube is unsure

recessed button unlikely

thanks. I liked the deep carry clip but will prefer the d4v2 probably.

Has anyone received shipping notification from the vendor?
The website no longer states pre-order which would lead one to believe these are ready to go.

[Tony_I]

Do note the 9 day processing time on the order page……

@Tony_I

Do note the 9 day processing time on the order page……

From today? Tomorrow? I guess I am too impatient.
