SFT40 CCT longer distance but general purpose light

Is the fifth flashlight on the left the Lumintop FW1A but with a shorter 18350 tube? How does it perform/throw?

Yes, FW1A with 18350 tube. There’s a whole saga with the FW1A you can read about on BLF. It went through some iterations over time. The earliest batches were the best. Then Lumintop made the reflector less throwy and made the driver worse. Mine has the good driver but bad reflector. Eventually I found a suitable replacement reflector.

I put an SFT40 5000K in it and it’s great. I haven’t measured throw yet but it should be close to maximized for what’s possible with the size of the light. There are mods people do to upgrade to Anduril 2 and add aux leds. It can be a bit of a project light. The stock version anymore isn’t so great, I believe.

Just sitting the two nest to each other… the TS10 might be 1mm more in diameter at the head, but maybe 3mm shorter. I do have both. I give all of the pocket time to the TS10. Yes the FWAA is out of production and hard to find. I think they can still be found, but more on the used market.
I usually avoid recommending lights that are not easily purchased…
