its up now, but it is still SUPER slow, i even got “suspended”, i wonder how many orders hank got last night
It’s more of a practica… that is to say, each flashlight has a purpo… I have 20+ flashlights becau… :person_facepalming: I like flashlights.
Any recommendations for a K1 configuration? 
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, but…why do that to yourself? 
I think I need a general purpose K1 thrower and a headlamp thrower next…
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 expensive…
and 8, i can get another rovyvon, but i rather not have any overlaps.
1. D4V2
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?
…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 didn’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.
I’d say if price is not a “concern”, the cu+ti weight must be close to the AL… maybe? Albeit a different balance of weight, titanium is a decent degree lighter then AL, I believe. I’m sure someone who have both can verify this for us?
Ti is 2/3 more dense than Al.
Oh how I wish the Cu was coated to keep that shiny finish.
Yes but think of the joy you’ll have every time you re polish it 
good to know. thank you
lol
don’t tempt me, this is my excuse for not ordering one! :person_facepalming:
I emailed Hank and asked if a backlit switch would be an option on the standard D4V2 and his reply was that there were no plans to do it. That was a few months ago though. I’m holding out and not ordering anything else, because every time that I do the upgrades are always out minutes after I get my shipping notice.
