“Got” the KR1 with W1 and W2 today. Can pick it up in the post office tomorrow. Will try to make a few beamshots for comparison, but there’s a small issue with the sun. The nights are not as dark as during winter.
Excellent and thanks! Didn't realize it was the same as the K1.
Well, just did 15 clicks numerous times because I keep getting a version that doesn't exist. I get 20200327 unless there is a mistake in the code that makes it flash out the incorrect month. I'm guessing it should be 20200427 since that one does exist and is the one you linked.
I wouldn’t flash any firmware at the moment as long as we don’t know which firmware it runs. The KR1 does not use direct drive and I don’t know if this is limited by hardware or if the FET is disabled just by firmware.
My KR1 arrived in Germany last Friday. In my experience, it will now spent about 10 days at the customs . It is so much nicer to forget about an order and being surprised when something arrives .
Noticed this after just 30 seconds on turbo (not more than 2-3 seconds at once with longer pauses in-between; only quickly for the beamshots) with the KR1 W2:
I hope Hank offers me a replacement head. This should not happen with a premium flashlight
Anyone who has a KR4 with 18350 tube—the standard pocket clip obviously does not work but can the lanyard ring still be installed with 18350 tube? It looks like the 18350 tube provides no space “in between” but it’s hard to tell.
Dang, that sucks. I've had mine (W2 also) on turbo for probably a total of 2 or 3 minutes with 30-40 seconds at a time maximum and no such issue. So far, I love this light!
Hope Hank makes it right for you. Maybe it's a defective LED?
