KC1 keychain light is available now

Ooooo please do you have any photos? :laughing:

I do have photos but couldn’t figure out how to post them here. I did post some on Flashlight Fanatics,under my real name, William Wieder. Check there because somebody else also got 3 of the D4v2 and has a dozen pictures posted.

They’re not on pins with PWM functions, so it doesn’t have a simple way to adjust the brightness. Even if it did though, that would use more power than just leaving them on high mode all the time. It’d require keeping the MCU awake to generate the PWM waveform, and even at a slow speed that increases the power usage significantly.

However, if you really want fancy RGBA color patterns, I have that working nicely on my lightsaber… and it lets the user configure whatever patterns they want, by building them out of basic waveforms in color space.

Just curious, is that fancy RGBA color pattern on a different variant of Anduril hex file that can be flashed on the Emisar D4v2?

Having initially thought that the auxillaries are too bright, I have found them now helpful for bathroom trips at night. I have them set on bright red in lockout mode. I then have a choice between red or momentary moon mode. In the morning, 5 clicks to unlock and turn the auxillaries to off, which is my usual auxillary preference for when the light is unlocked. However,for fun, when showing off my light, I then switch it to bright rainbow.

Received mine today and I love it. I can confirm that the secondary LEDs are brighter and they are more useful than on the D4S.
Best colors are RED, BLUE and GREEN because other colors are obviously only a mix of the 3 primary colors.

Will there be D4S II? Or D4S in 21700 format?

No, it’s a completely different firmware created for completely different hardware.

Can the auxilliaries be set to very low brightness ? ie just enough to find the flashlight in darkness ?

Yes, they have a low mode… and it’s very low.

That’s the mode I use, because I think the high mode is way too bright.

I hope not , why change something when it’s almost perfect, if there is a new version then I hope Hank will give the option of keeping ramping V2 instead of forcing anduril on us (me).

I dream about D4S with Osram KW C*LPM1.TG and Andruil - for a price significantly lower than a modded light.
21700 and Attiny1634 with programming pads would be nice as well but not particularly important…

Actually I dream about BLF light that would compete in that niche.
And I have a few ideas how to improve over Emisar. :wink:

Good news.

@freeme, I use an adapter for a 18650 in lieu of the larger cap 26650
On my D4S. For what it’s worth.

Have a bunch of 18650, only one Shockli…. :blush:

You know what would be nice?

A 21700 D4 with a lonoceans boost driver/constant current FET+FET driver.

I’d be willing to pay a pretty penny for one. :slight_smile:

The Wuben feels like a brick for a tube light. IMO go for the D4S Angie optics (1000x better than Carclo junk) and neck down the tube to 21700.

Yes, i use that occasionally to save some weight.

Optional adapters possible in the form of inserts, or swappable barrels?

21700. 18650. 26650.

LEGO D4V2 :person_with_crown:

such a genius light!

I initially thought that the bright mode for the auxillaries was too bright, until I found them bright enough to help light my way to the bathroom, at night. I set lockout with bright red auxillaries so at night I can switch between Red or momentary moon. When I unlock in the morning, my auxillaries are usually in dim voltage mode.
