The FW3B is a joint community project by flashlight forums TLF & BLF. Brought to production by Lumintop, this ultra-compact flashlight is only 3.64" (92.5mm) in length yet can deliver a maximum of 2800 lumens (XP-L HI) with a single 18650 battery (>10A capable battery, flat top unprotected). The metal electronic tail switch controls various functions including smooth ramping, stepped mode settings, strobe, and other unique special modes. It is a flashlight designed by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS FLASHLIGHT IS NOT A TOY, EXTREME TEMPERATURES CAN CAUSE BURNS, PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN LENDING THIS PRODUCT OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE, OR WHEN STORING IT WITH A BATTERY

MAIN PROJECT LEADS
Body Design: Fritz15
Driver Design: Fritz15, DEL
Firmware / UI Design (Anduril): ToyKeeper
Cat herding: ToyKeeper
Community Input: BLF, TLF

Toykeeper developed and supports Anduril, the firmware and interface onboard the FW3B. She is also responsible for many of the other firmware and interfaces behind popular BLF projects. Please visit her Patreon and support her hard work!

Emitters: 3 x LEDS on Copper DTP MCPCB 
     Cree XP-L HI 1A (Cool White 6500K)
     Nichia 219C (Neutral White 4000K 90+ CRI)
     Luminous SST-20 (Neutral White 4000K 95+ CRI)

     ~2,800 lumens (XP-L Hi)
     ~1,600 lumens (Nichia 219C)
     ~1,600 lumens (SST-20)
Peak Beam Intensity: ~10,000 candela / ~200 meters throw (XP-L Hi)

Modes and Runtime (XP-L HI)*:

Moonlight ~0.2 lumens (~74 days)
1 x 7135 Max: ~130 lumens (10 hours)
8 x 7135 Max: ~900 lumens (1.25 hours)
Max FET: ~2800 lumens (**10 second stepdown due to heat)
*Modes and runtime based on Samsung 35E 3500mAh under ideal conditions. Actual max output and runtime depend heavily on battery condition, voltage, and ambient temperature.
**The FW3B will thermally throttle based on a preset and programmable maximum temperature (Default 45C, temperature sensor should be calibrated before use, refer to manual below for instructions) for the first 10 seconds it will run unchecked then throttle itself.

Constant reactivation of turbo mode can easily cause the flashlight to EXCEED safe operating temperatures.

Special Modes:
Battery check, sunset, beacon, tactical strobe, party strobe, bike flasher, candlelight, lightning storm

Driver: FET+7+1 driver. Low parasitic drain while OFF

NOTE: DUE TO COMPONENT SHORTAGES THE LIGHTS CURRENTLY USE A FET+1 Driver and now use ANDURIL 2 PLEASE REFER TO FLOWCHART INCLUDED WITH LIGHT.
