“REVIEW”: Lumintop FWAA – 14500 – Anduril 2 – Triple Nichia 4000K & 5000K [Pic Heavy]

congrats, the glow gaskets look very nice
Today I took the bezel off my FWAA, in order to paint glow onto the mcpcb… I also polished the lens. Output went up 9% and there are no bad beam artifacts.

the previous coat of acrylic paint around the inner bezel (post 128), peeled right off when I removed the optic. No problem there.

(the pro photogirl I hired in my dreams, did not show, so I had to take my own blurry pics…)

the glow paint that peeled off the inner bezel, fits around the tail, so just for fun:

However, a tiny screw fell out of the driver. I put it back. I do not know if that free floating screw had anything to do with my Runaway Ramping issues with the FWAA, during assembly.

So far there have been 3 QC issues with my Cu FWAA

1. The screw fell out of the pill. now fixed
2. The retaining ring for the driver was halfway unscrewed. now fixed
3. One of the LEDs is dimmer than the others… have not tried to fix it… the light is still plenty bright, and the beam looks fine.
