Anybody stuff one of these led4power in their K1 yet?
From post 668 on of this thread…OSRAM CSLNM1.TG & CULNM1.TG 1mm², CSLPM1.TG & CULPM1.TG 2mm²
I have the K1 W2 model. What battery would be best for it? The Samsung 40t or Samsung 50e?
Not sure if anyone posted anything on the use of this LED in a flashlight? This is the mini Boost HX, or something? It's unclear to me if it throws better than a W1 or not? I see it can take higher amps, more lumens as well. That post #668 has no comparative data, so I dunno how good it is in real live use.
I think I asked Hank about this specifically… there was some sort of problem with it……
I cant find the email ATM
Probably 4040 board…or obtaining the emitter, I think it’s supposed to be discontinued?
no IIRC it was something like the white flat wouldnt handle the boost HX……
Has anybody seen the green or red beamshots with the K1? I’d like to maybe get a green one, hopefully not another W1, but I’d like to see what the beam looks like in green.
Green LED replacement is on the way to me, still. Not sure it left China yet - last tracking update was Feb 26th.

Thanks that looks great.
Order placed for
[Body color:Creamy LED & Tint W1 Green (Osram CSLNM1.F1) 720KCD]
This thing is going to be like a laser!
Oh, that GT Micro looks cool! Forgot bout that one, djozz. thanks! I got a black flat in my GT Micro - it does really well, I know it's over 100 kcd, forgot by how much.
I have a pair of them, the other has a KW CULNM1-TG (BoostHL) and I measured it at 125kcd, so somewhat over 100kcd for the Black Flat sounds in line with that.
Does the hotspot in this beamshot from about 6-8ft look normal? The hotspot corona looks lopsided and fuzzier(?) than I expect, but it’s my first super thrower. Maybe it’s normal?
Does anyone have the dark brown body color? I haven’t seen many pictures of this color besides the main website.
I got the K1 dark brown, but no pics yet.
That beamshot looks good to me, even better than mine actually - better centered. Mine has a similar non-circular corona (not sure if corona is the right name...).
I would be disappointed with that , but I’m fussy.
I’ve adjusted the reflector position on other lights if it had shifted during shipments. But you have to be careful not to be exchanging a tiny bit of adjustment for some dust or a smudged reflector or lens.

.
Maybe a tiny bit off centered (possibly a tiny bit of slop in the centering ring or cantered) usually when tightening the bezel, the reflector will move or canter the reflector a bit, due to the friction/torque of the bezel. You could try smacking it in your hand to get the reflector to move over a bit to equal out the corona, or loosen the bezel, let the reflector self center, press and hold down onto the glass lens and snug the bezel gently and see if that helps?
Usually I’ve found that fine-tuning a thrower ends up being largely a matter of loosening the bezel slightly, maybe slapping the light around a bit, and tightening the bezel. The focus typically changes slightly while turning the bezel, so the last bit of tuning involves knowing when to stop turning.
If the focus is close enough that this sort of thing matters, though… that means it’s already focused pretty well.
IIRC, my K1 had a slightly imbalanced corona, but I simply twisted the bezel a little and it changed to a nearly perfect circle.
