Lumintop FW3A Flashlight Review!

[@fangalien7245]

I'm not even that in to flashlights but this channel continues to draw me in every video. It's the only channel I will instantly leave a video I'm watching as soon as I see a notification that a new video has come out. Great job man.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Thanks for the support & watching!

[@FriendChicken]

I'm excited! I'll be getting my FW3a next week. I'll practice the UI, but I'll use the flashlight as it is. Excellent review again! ★★★★★

Excellent review!! Thank you..... 👍

BridgTec that light looks just like the DQG Tiny, but has a more focused beam, I might have to get this.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Hi, very nice flashlight indeed, I have a question, is there any remote pressure switch that I can adapt to this flashlight ? Thanks in advance

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Not that I am familiar with. Thanks for watching!

[@44louix]

Hi Charles Which as per you Is more powerful this one or Edc18

[@CharlesBridgTec]

They both are very nice. I have not released the Lumintop EDC18 yet but its coming soon. Thanks for watching!

[@natedoggw.7183]

@@CharlesBridgTec excited for it!

[@nmtoolsandgadgets4963]

Could you reverse the clip? For hat carry. Cant seem to find any runtime and lumens sheet do you happen to know where i could check it?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

The clip is not reversible. You can check their website directly at lumintop.com for more details. Thanks for watching!

[@nmtoolsandgadgets4963]

@@CharlesBridgTec last question sorry, does it get hot on high? Not turbo

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Yes it will get very warm on high. Ramping makes this easy to adjust light outputs. Take care.

[@ryans4887]

Perfect EDC light...could do with reverse clip for cap carry

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Thanks for watching!

[@agu005]

Very good review . Similar size and functions with Emisar D4.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Thanks for watching!

[@anthonyb2990]

Why go with an unprotected? Doesn't that mean it can overheat/charge when you're charging it as opposed to a protected 18650?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

No not if you use a quality charger. Thanks for watching!

[@jbr84tx]

Protected batteries are too long, they won't fit. 66mm max length.

[@nikkoataylar6486]

As always greet review

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Thanks for watching!

[@zarinamohamed4154]

clip can be changed?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

If needed. Thanks for watching!

[@always_edc9112]

What battery do you say will give me the brightest output work this light? Thanks for the videos!

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Any good quality unprotected cell will do. Thanks for watching!

[@carlosmatos9848]

@@CharlesBridgTec I really like the Sanyo 3450mah batteries. Like you said, any decent battery will do but Samsung 30Q and Sanyos are great with the battery life.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

@@carlosmatos9848 My favorites are the LG HG2 and Samsung 25R which are 20A power houses.

[@carlosmatos9848]

@@CharlesBridgTec Yep those are great also, sometimes the extra horsepower is nice :)

[@fluphybunny930]

Samsung 40T also a good choice. Has to be said "brightest output" is meaningless for this light as it steps down immediately from full. They would have been much better off reducing the daft max lumens and making it a much better light out of the box.

[@barry10ish]

Does this light strobe

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Yes. Thanks for watching!

[@complicatedmfer1557]

Sure hope Santa gets me this for Christmas!

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Me too. Thanks for watching!

[@drogadepc]

Couldn't find any info on the runtime of each mode

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Runtimes will depend solely on quality of cell used. Thanks for watching!

[@Jaezxc69]

Which has better runtime? FW3A or Astrolux S43?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Depends on the battery you use. Thanks for watching!

[@lucianodaros]

I messed up everything trying to configure it my way, now I don't know how to go back to the factory settings.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Unscrew head, then press and hold power button while screwing it back on, you will then see a series of blinks to confirm reset. Now you can start all over again. Thanks for watching!

[@lucianodaros]

@@CharlesBridgTec Thank you so much

[@lucianodaros]

@@CharlesBridgTec In one (the most recent) it worked, but in the other (the oldest) it didn't work

[@lone1mis]

@@lucianodaros hmm, you might want to read about Anduril's firmware versions. Each has different ways ( I think) on how to factory reset your flashligjt. Search for toykeeper's Anduril. She's the one who created it and may provide a guide on how to reset it...

[@nmtoolsandgadgets4963]

Hello mine blinks 3 time in ramping mode going up is that normal? If not how do i reset please help

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Blinks three times when increasing/decreasing light outputs? Please give more details including the battery you are using. Thanks

[@nmtoolsandgadgets4963]

@@CharlesBridgTec yes i watch other videos and they said that it only blinks when it's in lowest or highest ramping mode but mine also blinks in the middle. The battery i use is lg.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Make sure you have good contact by making sure the threads are tight. Also What LG battery are you using?

[@nmtoolsandgadgets4963]

@@CharlesBridgTec i'm not sure with the exact model but this is an older lg model not the 3000mah. Do i need to lubricate the threads to have better contact?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

@@nmtoolsandgadgets4963 You will need a high amp cell of at least 15A or more. You cell may not be strong enough to power the light on the higher output.

[@ocallaghanm5]

Brilliant pocket light or car light.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Thanks for watching!

[@cvheugten]

And a perfect review again Charles. For me its a bit too floody. It reached the tree of life well, but in turbo. In high it was not all too visible. And the light cycles down very quickly. No problem. High, in en round the house, is ok. Ramping, Anduril, is always fine.

[@Flash363]

Camera doesn't pick up the light as well as your eyes would. I'm sure you'd have no issue in the high mode at all.

[@cvheugten]

Of course high is good enough. Turbo is in most cases just for short events. No problem. But I like a good, broad, spot too. Most of my lights throw 220-320 meter, good spot and spill. This light has almost no spot. Its a good light and I love the Anduril driver but a good spot is very welcome.

[@CharlesBridgTec]
