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 wouldnât flash any firmware at the moment as long as we donât know which firmware it runs. The KR1 does not use direct drive and I donât 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 tubeâthe 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 âin betweenâ but itâs 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?
Didn't like the fact I couldn't use the lanyard ring and clip at the same time so I fixed it. I always (for the last few years) put a finger loop lanyard, first made of paracord or some other small cordage. Then CountyComm came out with their titanium beaded chain a couple years ago and it's all I've used on all my EDC lights since.
Always use a good cutting fluid and this stuff is the best (been using it for almost 20 years).
How does the driver work on the KR1 with different emitter configurations, same driver just different programing? W1 limited to 5A, W2 to 7A and full FET for XPL HI and SST40?
Lol, wanted to have a closer look at the âspottedâ LED in my KR1. There is one of these transparent o-rings between the head and the bezel. Yeah, these crappy ones that break easily. Mine got stretched pretty badly and it wasnât easy to screw the bezel back on. Probably not water resistant anymore. Maybe itâs time to order a bigger set of o-ringsâŠ
There were some splatters of flux all over the MCPCB. And I found some tiny solder balls. Quality control could be better.
Btw, Hank offered me a replacement MCPCB. I think I can live with that and for Hank it should be more cost efficient than everything else.
