TS28 is such a good light.
I wonder how you all keep your EDCs so pristine… My BLF/TLF edition TS28 is already starting to blue anodizing scrubs off at edges… and i tried to be especially careful with this light.
My EDC is usually a FC11c with a 1800k FFL LED
this is after abut 6 month of EDC

My lights don’t get a lot of abuse. And I’m constantly changing what I’m carrying day to day. It also helps that I carry everything in a leather pouch. They’re not banging into each other in my pocket

I found out yesterday that there were orange FW available. I really want one now, even though I’m not that big on orange. I just would like to have every color. There are a handful I likely will never find, like the tan or damaSS ones.
It looks great! My question is do these new ones still have the 7+1 purple driver? Or are they the worse drivers? I’ve read of people fitting KR3 drivers inside.

Some of my lights I rarely carry, or are treated carefully.
Most that I carry get dropped, clipped in pocket with other things, magnetized to greasy surfaces, etc. my KR3 looked pretty pristine until a few weeks ago. I still mainly carry it even though two of the emitters are damaged with small burn spots.
Black type III anodization is going to be the thickest/toughest, lighter colors are usually going to be thinner. Orange and blue, especially the lighter ones like Hank cyan.
I tend to treat the lights nice until I drop and dent them, and then it’s fine until something breaks, which is extremely rare in my experiences.
Lights with more corners will wear more quickly. Some people don’t like to carry a bunch of things in their pockets, but all of mine are usually full and I use everything in them at work most days. I don’t usually just drop an unclipped light into the pocket though.

What did you use to polish the light? It looks very nice!
Thanks!
Yes, purple fet+7+1 drivers in the two I recently aquired* from neals.
I’ve been doing the t1616 mcu upgrades and adding rgb aux on all of mine so I can run the newer anduril 2 versions.

For polishing Copper and Brass, I use either Elsterglanz “Kupfer-Messing-Bronze”
German acid free metal polishing paste or Colgate Natural Extracts With Lemon Oil And Aloe Toothpaste

What about polishing the anodizing. That red/orange FW3A light looks stunning.
