I have one on my regular D4V2 that I have pocket-carried for over a month now, front jeans pocket with keys, pen-knife and other metal stuff, and it switched itself on 3 times up to now (maxramp set at 450lumen so no injuries), which is perfect compared to twice a day with the regular bezel. So the raised bezel is a great option to have.
But on the other hand, who would pocket-carry this paper-weight?
I’ve carried D4 in my backpach (which I always have with me). Physical lockout was a must. So on my last order I asked Hank to include the raised bezel.
I requested Hank for 4 raised bezels for my old D4’s via mail and that was no problem, he priced them reasonably and they even came with spare switchcovers. Following what someone posted somewhere on BLF I sharpened the front of a cheap screwdriver to a knife’s edge, and used it to slowly chisel the old bezel out from the side, bit by bit while changing the angle all the time. The bezel came off without scratching the ano. Used a vice plus two pieces of wood to push the new bezel in.
Got my cyan unit in today! This is a true tiny monster, the output is wonderful for something so small. It really fits the hand well, I love 26650 lights and this did not disappoint. BTW, got SST-20 4000K. They appear to be the same bin as the D4V2, but at all levels it appears to have a better tint.
If the tint is noticeably better probably not the same bin then. I know Simon had several for a while (prior to the D4V2) and maybe he is still using up those or got a better batch to more closely compete with the FW3X and MF01 Mini?
When I compare an original fw3a sst-20 4000k, an fw3a with known fd2 bin sst-20 and, original D4v2… this seems to fall between the awful D4v2 and the fd2 bin sst-20.
