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

You only use your lights for brief periods of time? My arm would get tired holding a light like a police officer for a two hour run. :weary:

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

Hello Hank,

Can you get Osram KY CSLNM1.FY (yellow) emitter for Noctigon K1? As there is already green and red variant, I think, yellow is at least that useful, if not more (I would love one in my hands, to be honest).

Yes, just added this option for K1 and KR1.

Thank you!

I didn’t expect, that it will become available this soon. Ordered one K1 :partying_face:

@Artiet59

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 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

I would really appreciate that, thank you!

Great thank you, looks like I’ll be placing an order soon.

Hank feel free to make the KR4 in that green as well

oh my god, please!

it would definitely be the the first time where I buy two versions of the same flashlight!

Hank - Can the K1 driver for the W1 be changed to get higher amps for the green W1?

I'd like to set it for at least 6, as high as 7 amps. I reviewed and asked bout it here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/59694/605

Doesn't seem do-able from firmware, so assume it's a resistor mod, if safe/possible to do so.

Is there any update regarding the deep carrying clip for the KR4?

I just received my latest order from Hank. I like warm light, but I have to say that I did not expect E21A 2700K R9080 to be this magical.

Colors look perfect, and it does not look like a typical 2700K led at all. It looks pure white on a white wall, there is no trace of yellow. Even SST-20 2700K JA3, which is known to be below BBL, looks a little bit yellow. At first I was sure that I actually received E21A 3500K R9080 by mistake. Only after comparing it directly to SST-20 2700K JA3 was I able to convince myself that it really is 2700K.

I now have D4V2 flashlights with these warm emitters:

• E21A 2000K R9050 (received today)
• E21A 2200K R9050
• E21A 2700K R9080 (received today)
• SST-20 2700K JA3
• XP-L HI 2850K T6 8B (received today)

I still like all of them, but E21A 2700K R9080 is by far the best. There is no comparison. I have Lee Zircon 802 and 803 minus green filters, but even with a filter none of the other leds look magical like this one does. Perhaps Lee Zircon filters are not suitable for very warm leds, I do not know. I use E21A 2200K R9050 with a Lee Zircon 803 filter, and it does make it look a little bit better.

I suspect the reason E21A 2700K R9080 looks the best is that it has the highest R9 and the lowest DUV of them all. R9 makes a lot of difference. You should definitely get it if you like warm light.

Thank you for this! I am new to this and have been torn about which one of the e21 emitters to get my next Hank light in. Awesome input!

Guess I should have chosen expedited shipping. My order placed 10 days ago has not shipped yet. :person_facepalming:

I saw that on BG or AE as well. hard to wait though :sunglasses:

[lightdecay]

XP-E2 Amber makes E21A 2000K R9050 look like a standard 2700K incandescent light bulb with perfect color rendering.

Beamshot: E21A 2000K R9050 vs XP-E2 Amber.

It has gone quiet which is helping me save/plan for the perfect KR4 :sunglasses:

The new clip is already under production, it should be available within this month.

Thank you for this! I am new to this and have been torn about which one of the e21 emitters to get my next Hank light in. Awesome input!

You should definitely get one in 4500K. I have a few Nichia 291B sw45k (also 4500K) emitters, which were being already praised for being a nice neutral tint, but in my opinion, that is too rosy, and even looks a bit rusty compared to E21A 4500K.

E21A 4500K is simply the best high power neutral tint, you can get currently. It is about perfect.

By the way, I am also expecting back 3500K into the available tint list, which is again a very good tint.
