Amazing, same dimensions as the SC64, only 15g heavier, efficient regulation up to 8x7135, with a tail switch and a well thought-out pocket clip.
Anyone have thoughts on the 219b vs SST20 versions for a high CRI 4000-4500K? The grail for me is an efficient high CRI version that doesn't have a harsh transition from hotspot to spill...
Wow nice copper. I have the same general thoughts like you Vinh. I love the e07vn as well. But the heat sinking even on that bigger light is still not enough to handle the crazy lumens. The light gets hot quick. Now I dunno with that copper... when is that gonna be available to us?
I love the E07 but it's not pocketable in dress clothes, which is what I wear 7 days a week... so I have to remain with the D4/FW3A/S03.. nothing over 30mm is acceptable sadly.
FWA3vn is the way to go then
There is new e07 in fully copper??
The FW3A can be locked out at the head by unscrewing the head 1/8 turn.13. D anodized thread allow for physical lockout. F non-anodized thread = Electronic lockout only.
The FW3A can be locked out at the head by unscrewing the head 1/8 turn.
That 1/8 turn is enough to break the connection between the driver and the switch rendering the button inoperable.
This isn't a true physical lockout since the driver is still powered even if the switch doesn't work so there is still parasitic drain. However, Toykeeper mentioned on BLF that the parasitic drain on the FW3A is very low ... below the self-discharge of an 18650 and would take 10 years to drain a full cell.
In short, slightly unscrewing the head of the FW3A acts like a physical lockout even though technically it isn't one.
I've been holding out for the all copper E07 version. I'm sure it will be wildly heavy and it'll burn one's hand real fast, but gotta have it.
Ok So I got way more use with the FW3Avn W1 and IU love it more and more. SO nice to have a tiny 18650 light with a triple that throws!!
I know the two don't compare and are of different leagues, but which is more WOW IMPRESSIVE to form factor ratio? The FW3A W1 Or the Emisar D18 W1? If I could only buy one...?
