2000k flashlight

Hello guys, so I have quite a few flashlights, all 6500K. Over the last few days I’ve been intrigued by the idea of other color temperatures. I’m sitting in my living room by a lamp with this super soft warm yellow light and thinking how nice it would be to have some flashlights like this.

Any recommendations? Thanks!!

Great news, a decent 2000K flashlight is finally available!

Hank from Intl Outdoor was able to get E21A 2000K emitters, and you can now order a KR4 or D4V2 with E21A 2000K.

KR4

D4V2

E21A 2700K R9080 is also available, and that is the best 2700K LED right now with the highest R9.

Awesome, thanks! I just ordered the KR4 in Ti-copper in 2000K! Can’t wait to bask in that warm yellow light :slight_smile:

What 18350 are you guys using? I have a pair of Keeppower protected button top’s that I bought for another light that ended up being too long but I don’t think these will work in the KR4 either.

Already have the D4V2 in 6500K and love it

You will need an unprotected 18350. Keeppower IMR18350 1200mAh Flat Top is one of the best 18350s available.

Awesome, thanks! Hank recommended a different one:

The one you recommend looks like it has higher discharge current and capacity. I’m not sure why he pointed me to the other one

I talked to Hank and he said the battery you recommend is better than the one he pointed me to! Thanks again

Should I buy the D4 or the KR4 :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

D4 side switch
D4 lighted switch on Ti models
D4 cheapest
D4 slightly smaller

KR4 tail switch
KR4 slightly better thermal mgmt.
KR4 can have trit in the switch

When choosing 2000k the driver is the same anyway.

D4 ordered :cowboy_hat_face:

I have the D4SV2 and I’ve never seen such a well constructed lights. Wish I’d gotten it in a warm color though (:

Do you guys know of any warm headlamps? I wear my Nitecore around the house in red mode at night but a nice mellow yellow might be peaceful like 2700 or warmer

Get a H04RC from Clemence. You can get it in any tint with Ultra hi cri

It looks like that GB closed ages ago.

Oh man that looks sweet. So not available anywhere now? Thanks!

Just PM Clemence. He should still have some for sale

Anyone have e21 2000K beam shots? How does it compare to 2700K? It is like a pleasant sunset?

Hey guys,

My Noctigon KR4 2000K just arrived. It’s CRAZY seeing soft yellow light coming out of an LED. Like a sunset, softer and warmed than an incandescent. I have an Sony 18650 in it at the moment, waiting for my 18350’s to arrive.

I am amazed by this but it literally might be too warm for some people’s tastes. Wish I knew how to get a good picture of the beam. They never seem to look right using an iPhone camera

Hmm… I have some photos but I’m not sure how to upload them. Stay tuned

I’m loving this light. Went for a walk last night and it was quite bright and you could see the colors of objects, at least much better than my 6500K lights. It’s gorgeous inside… I actually have it sitting on my desk right now pointed at the ceiling on low and all the other lights in the room turned off. I’m not too concerned about my electric bill but you’d have to think this is a pretty efficient way of lighting a room

I remember feeling that way about a couple of personal jumps to warmer lights. The first was putting Waveform's 2400K bulb into all my freestanding and table lamps at home. I wasn't sure at first but that ended up being one of the best decisions I've ever made.

The second was going to SST-20 at 2700K for flashlights. With my eyes adjusted to daylight or cooler indoor lighting, I didn't care for the tint. Then I tried it from darkness and I was much happier. It was amazing for outdoor use over late spring and summer. It's still good for indoor use. Now that we're into fall though, everything outside just looks so brown under that light. I've gone back to my Nichia 219C at 4000K for outdoor use. (The color is closer to natural moonlight.) I'm still interested in trying 2000K but now I wonder how it will look across the different seasons.
