Did I read somewhere that Hank was getting LH351D 5000k 90CRI? I don’t see it as an option for anything. Would definitely pick up a 4th KR4 with that if the bin is nice. 4000k would be even better. I really like the Samsung LED in a nice tint bin.
The intl-outdoor website indicates 2000K is with R9050 for E21A. I don’t remember if anybody has done the actual measurement. If I find it, I will report back.
I have got a question related to E21A, too. I have KR4 with E21A/5000K. Does somebody have a picture of the driver for KR4 with E21A? I understand that the driver is the one with 5A max, unique to this LED. I would like to see how it looks like.
When will we start seeing Anduril 2 on these? Not in a hurry or anything, but figured I wait until the 2 comes out and not spend extra on reflashing kit.
Does anyone have a picture of this beam they can share? even if it is the new Manker light? I cannot find it online and i am interested in this version of the KR1.
I’m a minimalist, and don’t even EDC my wallet and car key (and haven’t used my house key in the 10 years I’ve owned my house). I like the look of the D4V2, mainly for the emitter choices (2700K SST20 and 2700K E21A) and that it’s a quad. If I get a flashlight, I would put it on my head like this guy below. I don’t understand flashlights that are not headlamps. Why wouldn’t you want your hands free? I also don’t understand tail switches. Seems like you have to use other hand to operate switch, do gymnastic finger movement, or hold the light like a police officer.
I love the ingenuity of using the headband that way, looks like ill be buying one today, thanks! and definitely hold the tailswitch like police officer . I was so opposed to tail switches when I started this hobby, but in my practical use I have come to prefer it for it is simplicity and ALWAYS knowing where the go button is in the dark. of course with headlamp the button is always in the same spot I wish I was a minimalist, im closer to the hoarder side of things. but life is to short to not own some sweet gear, if that is your kind of thing.
I didn’t expect, that it will become available this soon. Ordered one K1 :partying_face:
I am not good at making and hosting beamshots, but I will be able to post here my experiences, once I receive it.
I don’t have K1 with the Cool White Osram CSLNM1 emitter, but I have one with the Pure Green CSLNM1 already.
Also, I have a K1 with SST-20 4000K 95 CRI earlier, but currently it seems to be unavailable, so I am glad, that I grabbed one, while I could
Yea, usually light during the day while working on an install or searching for random things here and there under the car/ engine compartment/barn work shop/etc. and at night if i’m hiking and the sun sets I would be more apt to hold the light in a normal position but turn it on/off in the reverse “cop” grip. I wish I was at the point of doing two hour runs, its been a really long time since I’ve been there (but thats on me) AND I had not even realized what your u/name was until now… I do agree with you, if you are running then headlamp all the way, definitely not carrying a torch. Im not here to disagree or push a light on you, just having some fun. Keep it light out there. -Artie
