For the blink-on, You can always cover the head while screwing the tail cap on. Or close your eyes for that brief instant.
Edit: If you’re powering it up, your dark adjusted eyes are fixing to require to some adjustment anyway, right? lol Master the click and hold so it starts in moon… been doing this for a few years now with TK’s own ramping firmware. Wink
Has anyone tried the Nichia 319 in this D4? Wondering too how 4 XP-E2 in green would work out? Too much power? Maybe if using the 18350 and avoiding turbo when a fresh cell is installed?
Here’s just to verify what is obvious. Efficacy stays exactly the same on lower output within the 7135 range. Little nicks on the orange graph is me bumping into the setup while cleaning…
i read you earlier comment, raccoon city made the 1000th post so nothing wrong with you :partying_face:
lol someone probably deleted their comment and made you the 1000th post
Even with a Panasonic NCR18650B cell it still get’s hot on Turbo and starts stepping down fairly quickly. Seems to me the tube is robust enough to bore it for a 20700…. will see about that. If I kill the long tube it’s not a big deal as I like the short configuration anyway.
Has anyone installed a TA Driver in one of these? I was thinking about it to significantly improve the efficiency of the medium modes considering how high Turbo is…
Swapped out the 5A2 XPL HI I had in one of my D4s for 3A XPL HI last night. Tint looks a very pure white, much cooler than before. Cooler even than 3D.
Might be a bit too cool for me. Next thing to try is a mix and match. Perhaps two 3A + two 5A2 or maybe three 3A + one 5A2
The green color made me buy it. A birthday present to myself. My birthday was Aug 9, so my birth stone is Peridot, which is lighter in color yes but close enough. So if I can get it outputting green light as well, the inner Green Lantern will be happy. ROFLMAO
219c with 20700 sure sounds cool, i dont know how you guys get on with 18350 or 18500’s………….I can run an 18650 down in minutes, few lasts/step downs and the cell V is 3.6v. In fact, i tested a vtc5 2600mah cell, from cold 100% stepping down/ramping till it settled . Left it for a few mins and checked the V at 3.98v. So roughly a normal use from max output.
Well, the Sanyo “B” cell has some 4200mAh and does around 10A, the “A” cell is around 3000mAh and does much more current. So I was thinking the high capacity B cell might be appropro
