Nice choice. I like mine and think it is a nice quality light.
I heard the moonlight was incredibly low on these?

No. I frequent budgetlightforum.com a lot. I have always had an affinity for lights, but wanted to work on getting some very solid lights in different sizes and configurations. With this setup, I have a healthy supply of throwers, EDC lights and compact backup lights. The UI that some of the lights provide is perfect. If I need to really throw a lot of light, I can...but on low mode I have enough light to last me for days. The two I am prone to carry most often is my beloved Thrunite T1 and the Sofirn SP31. I usually also carry my Olight I1R on a ball chain around my neck when outdoors.
That makes sense. I haven’t frequented CLF or BLF for years. I spent a small fortune on lights when I did. Reddit isn’t any better. I’m doomed to spend on lights. I’m in love with Andúril since I received my fw3a. It took a lot of practice, but I got it down. What is your favorite of the ones you bought and why? May I ask?
After so much buzz..and seeing Matt Smith's video, I really think I need to get the FW3A. It just looks amazing. What are your thoughts so far? I agree, that UI is excellent...but heck, that is what happens when you actually listen to the flashlight community and give them something that fits their needs and wishes. These days, computer companies, car companies and just about everyone else seems to be stuck in the lab trying to figure out what people want...go out and ask!
I would take a good hard look at the Emisar too before deciding,it is an amazing light as well and very similar.Or get both as is the way of the nerd!I have no regrets.
Damn it man...you need to quit enabling. Next on my list. Which one do you have?
The Emissar D4 v2 is a nice light and very comparable to the FW3A. I admit I went the more expensive route and actually purchased mine through SkyLumen with upgraded throw optics which make it amazing imho.
Is the side switch deep enough that it doesn’t come on in your pocket? That’s my only reservation. If it’s deep like a ZL, then I’ll probably pull the trigger.
The side switch is recessed some and does not stick out, but not as much as some lights I’ve seen. I do not have a Zebralight to compare to. I have never had an issue but admittedly I have not pocket carried it as much as some others. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
I see an option for a raised switch retaining ring. Any idea what that means?
The switch looks recessed like a ZL. Mine has never come on in my pocket. I’m just trying to decide if I should go for a SST20 or just go for maximum brightness. Gotta be honest, this will just be a show toy. Any suggestions?
I gotta say, the surprise for me was getting my Convoy C8+. The throw this light has is amazing and it is super portable. It is easy to throw in a jacket pocket or my back pocket when I go out at night on a walk.
They are almost the same size with the Emisar being more steadily round where the F3 dips in a little in the middle but I consider them to carry about the same for me.I ALWAYS turn them slightly apart to mechanical lockout no matter what and then they will not turn on in pocket ever,no matter what!Guess why?It takes less time than the clicky lockout in my book and I do not trust any way but this way to keep the nuts intact!I have both in 219 and SStT and can not decide which I prefer honestly,they are both perfect for me,really and the SST was the biggest surprise for sure,I love them.I always wear Carpenter Jeans during the day and the light goes into the left side pocket where the carpenters rule would go while my ZL SC64w is clipped inside my main right pocket where it has turned on by itself maybe twice in the 8 years or so that I have carried Zebralights there every single day!The secondary emitters in the Emisar need to be experienced to really understand,they are pretty impressive and though I thought it would just be a gimmick it has turned out to be pretty useful for me instead.They are both great lights and either will make you happy but both......well you know.
