KC1 keychain light is available now

Will there be an Aux LED rainbow option? multi colored?

One of the options is Warm White - SST20 3000K 95CRI.

Will the 18350 tube from a D4v1 fit on the D4v2?

I’m confused by the pictures. They show with and without stainless bezel?

The stainless bezel is an option

Just answering a few questions really quick…

… but I’ll post a lot more details soon in a review.

If I understand correctly, it ships with a revision from 2019-06-17. Like, two days ago. I spent the weekend fine-tuning the thermal regulation. The D4 is difficult to regulate since it has so much power in such a small space!

No, RampingIOS V2 has not been ported to the new driver.

It should be relatively easy to port RampingIOS V3, but it hasn’t been done yet either.

Regardless, most basics in Anduril are the same. It even has compile-time options now to change the on/off timing, since that was something a lot of people have strong feelings about.

Yes. It was removed for a while, but people wanted it back… and with a light as hot as the D4, I can understand why. So it has muggle mode now.

  • 6 clicks: enter/exit muggle mode
  • 7 clicks: change aux LED brightness
  • 7 clicks (but hold last click): change aux LED color

Yes. One of the colors is “rainbow”. Another color is “voltage”, to indicate the battery status.

Wow, sounds fantastic. Thanks for the info TK!

My 219C D4v1’s 18350 tube won’t even fit on my XP-L HI D4v1…

What is the short cut to directly ramp down?

You mean like a slow color shift around the color wheel rainbow? A continuous color rotation like that would be both weird and cool.

Click, click and hold it. Do a double click but don’t let go of the button at the end until you want to stop ramping down. It’s the same as ramping up, except with a quick click before you hold the button.

Ouch, I put together an order and it came to $57 and it was with the SST-20 version, 18350 and 18500 tubes as well as the SS bezel. May be a couple of weeks before I can order one of these. I really don’t use these types of lights much but they make for a great collectable.

Order placed. Will be replacing my D4V1 as my EDC.

Anyone know if this new anodizing is smooth or the rough texture?

Well…just several colors…Lexel had some boards with like green/pink/ and blue…or whatever

Pictures of the rainbow LED option and voltage LED option would be nice…

TK’s Anduril on D4S “breathes”…so a breathing rainbow would be neato!

Thank you!

@Hank please update. This is very important as I am planning to gift to my Father in law.

Looks great. Multi-colored bezel aux LEDs without having to change the aux board! Plus Anduril and knurling! Ordered two.

I notice the switch appears to be exactly the same as on the v1. It is not recessed. Guess I’ll mod the switch soon as it arrives.

Ohhhh…maybe I misunderstood…ALL of those colors will be on the board and are selectable? As well as a “rainbow” and “voltage” mode using the multi colors?

thanks!

RGB is making its way from PCs to flashlights. Will we ever escape?!

… I need one, haha.

Well… I ordered two! Dark grey with SST20 5000K and dark grey with SST20 4000K and two stainless steel bezels. My D4S and D18 have the 4000K and I really like the throw/tint.

One question… How does the voltage aux light readout work? What do I see when I configure the aux LEDs to the voltage setting? Cheers.

All SST-20s are throwier/higher candela per lumen than the X-PL HI.

The 5000K is not high-CRI but basically matches the output (and efficiency IIRC) of XPL HI.

4000/3000K SST-20 is about 25% lower output but are high-CRI. So a bit more heat, lower max output at turn on and less efficient when matched for output against the others but high-CRI with EXCELLENT red rendering.

X-PL HI almost always has a good tint, either below the BBL (rosy) or right on it (little to no ugly green). SST-20 is greener at low power levels, pretty good at ~500ish and rosy at turbo or close to it. Personally I’ve been happy with the 4000K SST-20s as they’ve been no more or less green than almost all the other high-CRI emitters I’ve tried (219B and E21A being the exceptions).

So just to confirm, the V2 will have the version of Anduril with additional 60 lumen lockout mode and option to set mode memory to a specific output?
