By all accounts it is still a little bit sensitive to tube tightness. Hank was getting emails from people who (incorrectly) thought they received a defective flashlight. He had to put out a directive informing people that tightness is more important on this model than normal flashlights.
Of course these are non-issues once you are aware of them. But still, when you are selling at scale it is desirable to minimize issues period. First impressions count and it is not nice when a buyer thinks (incorrectly) that he has a defect.
Varbos provided a link. I have not ordered it, but I could. Apparently.
Is it really an e-switch? I have not found this information.
I didn’t knew this. Took a second look at the mechanics of the KR1 and am still puzzled what a potential problem could be. Head and tailcap are not even especially tightend and it still works. This construction with springs for battery and inner tube at least seems safe. Maybe dirt/grease on the inner tube could prevent functioning?
The new UI looks much better than before, but I would prefer moonligh to not be in a different group (what’s the point ?), it’s the same for the thrunite T1, you can turn on directly on moonlight but if you want to go to low, well you can’t, not directly at least, you have to turn off, then single clic which bring you to the last mode used in the main group and then cycle to low and potentially blind you in the process.
