Hello,all the FW3A fans,I am Neal. about the FW3A optics change issues, I make this announcement.
1.Reason for Lumintop to change the optics
- first,because it is hard to order the carclo optics,usually need to wait 3-4 weeks,the first batch they wait 6 weeks.
that is why the delay of the FW3A group buy start.
- second,the carclo optics actually made in china dongguan,lumintop find another optics company in dongguan,
that company is familiar with carclo, and said can make the same optics.after test the prototype,the performance almost same. but they make a fault to make extra optics and cancel the lens,this is the reason why the candelas are reduced.
- third,cost,carclo will be much more expensive than the new optics,they want to reduce the cost so that can sell it cheaper in the future.
2.resolution of the optics issues Lumintop already ordered the 10511 optics today,carclo replied need about 3 weeks.
- a. Include glass lens with new optic, to allow easy modding. accept the new optics and these can ship in 48 hours and change the optics yourself,the FW3A will add a original lens in the package.
- b. wait for new 10511 arrived,about 4 weeks ready to ship
pls send email or PM to me about your choice.

2.color FW3A,Lumintop will produce purple,blue and green. purple version with have TK’s logo. they just make some prototype,like the following picture. I will talk with TK if it is ok.
3.for future optics. the optics company are start to make another prototype to make it same as carclo 10511 optics.
if the result is good,will use that optics in the future.before it in production,will send them to TK,Kay and other reviews to compare.
