KD (kaidomain): Deals and new products thread

[Pok]

Banl,
Do you know when Cree XP-L2 HD V6 1C on copper DTP available?

[Tjhosan]

I would like to ask for a improved system for displaying amount of items left in stock.

This is the third time i have ordered stuff and when i get the order home i have a note in the package saying one item is gonna be shipped at a later date.

Two items i am still waiting for, one of them i ordered in march and the annoying thing is that it still says it is ready to ship in 1-3 days one the item page.

Would be realy nice if you could get some sort of counter with remaining stock or atleast update it to say if items are out of stock.

I still realy like your shop i just think it could be better

Interesting about the SST-40. If it pulls 8.4A direct drive and responds well to dedoming it could be an XPL-beater. Looking forward to testing, and I might buy a couple myself.

Some new C8’s are now on sale with XHP 50.2’s in three tints 3000, 5000 and 6500. example below. Price is $28.93 to $29.93 These are probably the brightest C8’s ever on sale KDLITKER C8.2 Cree XHP50.2 White 6500K 2600 Lumens 5-Mode LED Flashlight - Black ( 1x18650 ) http://www.kaidomain.com/p/S026927.KDLITKER-C8_2-Cree-XHP50_2-White-6500K-2600-Lumens-5-Mode-LED-Flashlight-Black

Any factual reviews? Been looking at this light.

No reviews that I’ve seen, but given KD’s recent history of higher performing C8’s the specs of this new model should result in an impressive flashlight. It may not achieve the max lumens stated but it should be around 2000+

@djozz

Sounds wonderful, any idea of lumens?

I don’t have any way of measuring of output, but a guestimate would be around 1800 OTF lumens.

If I find the time I will try to post some beam shots later and perhaps get some LED amp. numbers

EDIT :

I get 8,09A @ the LED on max with a 20 avg wire loop and a clamp meter.

Sorry no beam shots, when I reassembled the flashlight I nicked the positive wire creating a dead short :

The driver still works but I need to make a new tail switch.

I start to love KD as they seems to know a thing or two about flashlights and introducing interesting lights at the same time! I think it would be even better if KD uses XHP-70 in these KF8, K5 and C8.2 and drive them a little bit harder. Imagine pocket rocket!

[L4M4]

believe me, the XHP50.2 is bright enough for a pocket rocket
I do love KD, too.
It’s not the cheapest, not the fastest store, but they don’t sell as much junk as all the others and know what they are talking about.
Also, they sell a lot more DIY stuff than others do.
I mean - where else do you get a driver for XHP50 that uses only one cell?

Hi Tjhosan

Thank you for your advice.

I am sorry for the stock status that make you inconvenience.

In some case, we will take the parts or components to install the products. And it will cause the lack of stocks.

We must improve it.

Thank you

Ban

Received my KDIY K5 XHP50.2 NW today.
Quite happy with it.
Did a rough ceiling bounce test with a lux metre. I got 162 lux with my TM26 on the 1850 lumen mode. Got 174 on the K5 on turbo. So just under 2k lumens I’m guessing.
Does a bright preflash before going into the lowest setting. Not sure it’s all like that or just mine.
I think the light is great value.

@djozz

Mine arrived today too, but as usual no time-window for testing in sight, perhaps monday

This hobby requires being retired with kids moved out, so I will start the hobby in 2035.

If your lucky.

Do anyone order and try this out ?

You are right about everything. In the line of budget lights KD is one of the pioneers (if not the first one) to come out with this nice boost driver, a solution to many single 18650 flashlights in order to run a 6V emitter.

I do agree that a sub 2000 lumens single 18650 flashlight is very bright already, but as a flashaholic I simply can’t have enough of lumens! If they use that XHP70 and push that 20mm boost driver a little bit harder, 3000 lumens is still better than 2000 lumens!

Thanks kvetope! I have seen that one when searching for it. Hope someday I can see another one, although being “simple” it seems a good light!! Outside demonstration would be great, though…
Thank you!

Noticed after I posted that it preflash if you turn the light on and memory mode is on low too. Annoying

[Lowtech]

Is there any S2 or convoy pill on KD?

[TheOnlyDocc]

@BanL
Could you please give me exact measurements for this switch (http://www.kaidomain.com/p/S024079.DIY-LED-Flashlight-Reverse-Clicky-Switch-12mm-x-12mm-for-LED-Flashlight-Black-button-5-pcs)? Most of your switches have a picture with all measurements only this nice square one not. And if you have more tech specs like max Ampere. . . it would be helpfull.
I marked the 3 measurement that i would like to know if it is possible (i am modding a light and want to change the complete switch construction and to know if it fits i need this information).
