New 4XP Noctigon MCPCB for quad optic

Any news when the D4 is available!? :question:

It sounds like it should be any day now. It’d probably be a good idea to check Hank’s site daily, since I get the feeling these will probably sell pretty quickly.

…Been doing that for some time now… :smiley:

… and by “any day now”, I mean really really soon. RMM got his first batch in today and there are still some left in the XP-G2 and XP-L HI varieties.

XP-G2 offers a nicer beam shape and comes in 4000K and 5700K tints, while XP-L HI offers more lumens and comes in 5000K and 6500K tints.

And I am oh so going to DDoS intl-outdoor… :smiling_imp:

Also, XP-G2 will be more efficient at low modes.

I hope there is a XPG-2 S4 3D option like the M43, I love that tint.

I’d like to see the candela values from each option, I’m afraid that the XPL-HI will be a lot throwier than the Nichia, but I want the light to have the máximum efficiency as possible

Huh? Wrong thread?

No, it’s another thread about the same light.

Wow, first post here and you swear, I hope you have a serious reason to be so aggressive !

I’m an angry Russian :smiling_imp:

We hoped that there will be at least simple step-down driver, not direct drive…… And I can give some more money for normal driver, but there’s no option “normal driver”. Sorry for my ugly English. Vodka, bear, balalayka, caviar.

If your English isn't so great, that's not a problem, but please refrain from swearing.

It's against the rules here at BLF because we want the forum to be family friendly.

Wow you seem very mature…
Care to explain why the fact that it is a FET driver makes it a “piece of sh” ?
I think that this kind of driver is already used is some of the best seller on BLF, and while I’m not really fond of direct drive it’s only used on Turbo.
If I’m not mistaken, the D4 uses a FET +7135, allowing to be regulated at lower levels no ?

What about efficiency and PWM? One 7135 will give ~380 mA, wouldn’t it? So what should I do with 380 mA light?

This host can carry 5-7W for long time. Which mod do you suggest for this? How much output will it give with HE4@4.2V, with NCR@3.2V?

Just use other mods. Turbo only when needed. If you’ll not take photos or video you’ll not notice PWM on lower mods.

Okay, wrong neighbourhood…
Good luck Hank Wang.

I have M43 and I love it. And I want to have SC600-like flashlight from Hank. But DD killed my dream.

I don’t like direct drive myself either, and this is going to be my first. But it’s the other modes beside turbo that makes the M43 great, so I think I certainly will enjoy the D4 too. :sunglasses:

It can be a good host with LEDs for normal driver :sunglasses:
