    Mateminco recently released a new type of light that\u2019s a hybrid of an LEP surrounded by a ring of LEDs called the Mateminco FW3<\/a> (not to be confused with Lumintop\u2019s FW3). They\u2019ve now come out with a non-hybrid version in the FW3S which replaces the center LEP with a traditional LED (an SFT-40). It\u2019s an interesting concept, so how does it work out? Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mateminco\u2019s FW3S comes in a pretty solid minimalist white box that features an image of the light on the front in silver line work, and the company\u2019s contact information on the rear, while one side only has the name \u201cMateminco\u201d on it, and the other gives some use cases for the light. The only real information about the light itself is on a sticker on the bottom, which shows what option for the LED ring is selected. When you remove the snug-fitting top of the box, there\u2019s a thin sheet of foam on top, covering the light, which is cradled in a foam cutout, with accessories in another cutout below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
