Hmm... First thought: Who the hack is Matt Smith, and why KZbin recommends me? Second thought: Why the hell is Matt Smith in my favourites list? ... Ahh, AdventureSportsFlashlights! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet :) 6:45 wide beam is perfect for biking both for high or low beam.

For everyone having a cow about the switch coming apart... realize that taking off the tail cap to replace the battery is already a little cumbersome because of the clip. The reason why the switch is not sealed up is for modding purposes. Lumintop may seal it up when their branded production version ships. But in any case, it's so damned easy to replace the battery from the front. If you make this a deal breaker, you're just denying yourself a great light for no good reason.

Nice review. I especially liked the explanation of how the tailswitch talks to the emitter, and the examples of how other lights solve the problem as a comparison. Also the flickering while ramping. I suspected it was something to do with the regulated modes. Really good attention to detail, I hadn't found that information elsewhere, I appreciate it.

Hey Matt, glad I found your site (I subscribed) and have decided to update my stash of flashlights to more state-of-the-art led models. I bought a couple of the BLF FW3A's and initially had the same problem as many other folks have had with them not working right out of the box. After a lot of seaching the internet and youtube, I found no definitive solution. By accident, I found it on my own. It seems there is a very thin layer of lacquer (?)or some finish over the head and tailcap PCB's and may act as an insulator. I discovered that by scuffing up the circular contact rings on the head and tailcap the the light would immediately function as intended. I also found it not necessary to use the GI-JOE kung fu grip to tighten things down. A normal firm tightening works just fine.

I have many other lights such as Fenix, Thrunite, Olights, Eagtec, Nitecore, Jetbeam, MecArmy, Klarus, Manker,. All great lights. I use all of them, and take them to the Philippines when I go there every two years. The Thrunite TC 15 spent a day in the ocean. Not one issue with it. Also have the Rofis R1, awesome light Use it every day, and gave my original to my father in law in the Philippines.Bought a new on my travel back home. I also bought my father one. I also own some Acebeam lights and just bought the TK16 for me and my father. I also just bought the Thrunite T1. Awesome EDC lights. I buy flashlights like I buy my high power air rifles, firearms and knives, and my RC hobby. Work hard, play harder.

Great review, Matt. I assume yours is the 3D (7A is a lot warmer). Glad to see you took the time to read the BLF topics about it and incorporate useful info from those postings. The FW3A is a terrific light in so many respects. It also lends itself well to customization. I did a few very minor mods to it for very little money and enjoy them a lot: 1) a GITD strip of tape in the tail cap groove, 2) a GITD strip of tape around the inner wall of the head that glows brightly from the emitters, and 3) a segment of bicycle inner tube cut for the straight segment of the tube under the clip that adds a nice extra grip. I also bought 3 Carclo optics and tried them out--they each have a difference and it's great having that option to change the beam pattern for different uses.

Matt, I am a search and rescue deputy and use my personal drone for that purpose. I'm looking for a reliable light to mount to the bottom of a DJI Mavic 2 drone. I need it to be 6-800lmn and ankle to run at that brightness constantly, no downshift, 4.5" or so in length if possible. I'm not worried about battery life because the drone only does about 25min per battery and I can swap the torch battery at the same time. My plan is to fly for 1hr, then rest the motors for 20min, then resume. So you think this torch is capable of running for a solid hour at that intensity w/o damage? If not, are you aware of one that would burn for that long? I love the tech that's coming out,I just wish they'd heat sink it enough to burn at or close to max brightness for as long necessary.

You don't say but I'm assuming that this gets hot very quickly. I think I'll stick with my Zebra light SC 62, I have ThruNite, Fenix, Olight, Surefire, Nitecore, and many more high-end lights but the one I always grab for EDC is the zebra light. It is smaller than most of my 14500 and 16350 flashlights, but with the 18650 battery lasts much longer I only charger it once or twice a year.

I love my FW3A. Ended up getting the 7A tint which certainly is warm but it's nice and cozy. Still debating whether I'll buy the SST-20 version. It would be good for some emitter swap shenanigans since it's cheaper. But currently I'm waiting for fall/winter to arrive, bright summer nights in Finland are one of the downsides of living here for a flashlight guy..

Double click from off goes to the top of the ramp, but is it supposed to briefly turn on at the previously used level before going to that ceiling? That’s what’s happening with mine.

I would have guessed that the Chinese manufacturers would take batteries that didn't pass quality inspection and then cover them over with a different name..or they got caught making counterfeit batteries then covered them over. I'm surprised you had good luck with that battery! Good find though!!

I like mine for the size, but the clip is bad. Does not hold position in my pants like my A6 holds.

Hello Matt I've watched a couple of your videos now hoping to learn a few things and decided to buy this light from Neal's Gadgets. the only thing I'm unsure of, is whether or not a battery would be included, as It's not quite clear to me.

Was interested until I saw it has 4 LEDs. Four 700 lumen LEDs is not nearly the same as a single 1000+ LED Or grab the Thrunite TC15 which has a single LED with a turbo mode of 2300 I guess it depends on what you want to use it for. I use mine for everything including causing temporary blindness for self defense

Great light, but with very bad switch design. With this type of e-switch will be problems over time. It will recognize clicks as double clicks or as no clicks at all. Glue from that kapton tape will spread over that tiny metal strip and it will cause problems. Zebralight and Spark also uses or at least they used this or similar design in the past, and after endless repairs and cleanings of switches on my lights i maked my own pcb with tiny metal SMD SKQG switch. I have no more problems afterwards. Also that tiny plastic thing in that rubber, that is deal breaker for me and it should be included some spare pieces in the package. If they used this SMD SKQG switch, this plastic piece would be not needed and it could be made from one piece of silicone like classic silicone switch buttons. I will wait for v2.0 of this light :)

The little "nubbin" can fall out if you flex the rubber cap. Otherwise, it stays in place. There was some talk of Lumintop sealing up the switch in upcoming production, with the Lumintop branded version. The reason why the switch is like this is for modding purposes, of which a number of people have already done so. One guy is making different colored switches and there may actually be one with a trit slot in the near future. It's very easy to change the battery from the front... so it's no big deal.

God, i hate that lumintop clicky, i have the same concept on two small lumintop pen lights and both clickies kind of stuck, which means it only works when i press it with a lot of force and slow. others that that the light looks really nice, the matte finish. I hope this clicky works better. Do they sell this lght only in BLF or at banggood as well? The unprotected cell thing is kind of a deal braker for me i think. Wait a minute, this has an electronical switch at the back, not a clicky? I am more interested now :) the light looks very good in sand color. My Thrunite Lynx has an inner tube as well, one of the nicest mass produced flashlights in terms of build quality and complex design, thats why i never sold it.
