Looks great… But I wish it had higher regulated current. I would rather have a 4mm longer light to accomodate 6 more AMC 7135 chips on the cell’s side of the driver, like the FW3A. 750+ lumens vs only 150 lumens regulated current.
Damn. I was done buying flashlights… Spent so much money already lately on lights and trits, but got to have one of these. My smooth green D4 deserves to become a shelf queen.
Nice work Hank, in the lead for best pocket rocket in the market again.
I don’t think it’s quite a deal breaker for me, but it’s certainly a reason to keep using my FW3A. It’s the primary reason I keep using my FW3A instead of my D4, even slightly moreso than the fact it runs Anduril.
On the bright side, with Anduril on the new D4 I should be able to cap the ramp at something reasonable like 300 lumens to limit how much power I fritter away. The new option to make it always switch on at any desired level (such as max regulated) will be really useful too.
