I received these yesterday. A polished copper Lumintop FW3A (SST20), stonewashed Ti Lumintop FW3A (Nichia), and an Eagle eye X1R. Is it normal for copper to patina so quickly? It’s been less than 24 hours and the copper FW3A has already tarnished. I’ve only played with the UI to familiarize myself with it, didn’t come into contact with anything. Maybe I have funky hand sweat?
Is it worth the money? I visit their site a few times a week. I’ve almost bought one lots of times but, I always chicken out. Please tell me good things about this light so I can quit procrastinating and just order the darn thing.
I sent you a PM so as not to hijack the thread.
Short answer, for me it was worth it. I really like the side-by-side design. I have this and an Acebeam UC15. Personally I don’t really see value in expensive lights but many of us are just collectors which defies logic to me. I rarely use flashlights.

More build hosts, plus as an aside the drivers I pull out of them are pretty good little ramping e-switch 1xNiMH boost drivers, albeit low power and feature lacking (which is sometimes exactly what a build calls for).
That looks terrific. I don’t use the clip much, so I opted not to get the deep carry clip on my parts order… kind of regretting that now. Also, have to ask… the TK logo switch cover was available only on the purple edition. How’d you get it?
