KC1 keychain light is available now

Oh, thanks! I was wondering why I could see other colours when I put a KP CSLNM1.F1 in my Lumintop Tool AA 2.0. I need to get a preheat platform and redo it (damaged the LED slightly when using a heatgun from a hardware store to reflow). Iā€™ll have a look for XP-E2 green emittersā€¦ I havenā€™t looked into custom drivers yet. The Tool AA 2.0 would probably get too hot beyond 3A.

My post was ambiguous.

I recommended XP-E2 Green 520nm with the 7.5A CC driver, but I didnā€™t mean a custom driver, I just meant Emisar D4V2 or Noctigon KR4 with Hankā€™s 5A or 7.5A constant current driver.

XP-E2 Green 520nm does not need more than 1.5A to perform at its best, in fact 5A CC driver is probably enough for a quad: 1.25A for each led.

Iā€™ll try to swap the CSLNM1.F1 with an XP-E2 green on the Tool AA 2.0 to see what it looks like. :smiley:

D4V2 sand arrived in Sydney this morning! Hopefully itā€™ll arrive in Melbourne soon. Excited! :heart_eyes:

Hank, your website is down because of bunch of people from front page of reddit is visiting your website.

r/flashlight :innocent:

The ā€œwait, thereā€™s are people obsessed with flashlights ?! lol ā€ type comments crack me up. If they only knewā€¦

its up now, but it is still SUPER slow, i even got ā€œsuspendedā€, i wonder how many orders hank got last night

Itā€™s more of a practicaā€¦ that is to say, each flashlight has a purpoā€¦ I have 20+ flashlights becauā€¦ :person_facepalming: I like flashlights.

Any recommendations for a K1 configuration? :innocent:

i can think of at least 10 different purposes to get 10 different lights.

1. general purpose flood light around the house
2. general purpose thrower light with good spill for walking the dog
3. lantern for power outage
4. flood headlamp for housework
5. thrower headlamp for hiking
6. keychain light on keychain for outside
7. keychain light for nightstand because obv ur not gonna get ur keys first to get up and go to the washroom at night
8. uv light for travelling, checking hotel bedsheet and maybe counterfeit money and stuff
9. edc, self explanatory
10. dedicated thrower light for fun, self defense, and guiding uber eats driver

these are all very useful and easily justifiable reasons.

now of course some of these can be combined into one ljght, butā€¦why do that to yourself? :wink:

I think I need a general purpose K1 thrower and a headlamp thrower nextā€¦

ya this is my plan

1. sp36
2. ft03
3. lt1
4. havent found yet
5. havent found yet
6. a3 pro
7. e3a
8. havent looked into yet
9. m300
10. k1

4 and 5 i can technically get hm65r to satisfy both, but its kinda expensiveā€¦
and 8, i can get another rovyvon, but i rather not have any overlaps.

1. D4V2 :innocent:

im on a budget lol

I've just noticed these backlit switches, and would have loved to have this on my recently ordered Al version, rather than the front color LEDs.

This is apparently only available for the Cu and Ti versions, correct?

ā€¦and for the Al as well.

Weight (unlike size) is missing on all Emisar lights description pages, whereas it is mentioned for Noctigon lights.

Backlight switches are not available for the basic aluminum D4V2, only for D4V2 Brass, D4V2 Cu, and D4V2 Ti.

Thanks lightdecay for your quick answer.

I wish they were, as an option which I would be happy to pay for. I didnā€™t choose Al for its lower price, but for being more lightweight than the other versions.

I always thought this myself. I would never choose any of those materials over aluminum due to weight, but I would gladly pay more for the lighted switch option also.
