I can’t believe Skilhunt are still selling the H04F, it’s such a bad design. I purchased 16pcs and had to get Skilhunt to send conversion kits to change to H04.
The diffuser hinge collects the light and reflects it down into the eyes, entirely useless as a headlamp. Absolutely love the H04 though, perfect even distribution of light
Tried that but light then reflects down from around the edges of the diffuser, it doesn’t seat down far enough. Made a video for Skilhunt at the time and they said the design will be changed on their new lights.
Really! I almost bought the F version because i thought that flippable diffuser feature is neat, quick switch between flood and throw. I wonder why nobody else mentioned this in all the threads and posts ive read about h04 in here and reddit
It’s listed as being 45 grams excluding batty—only 1 gram lighter than full length tube. I guess most of the weight is saved with the difference between 18650 and 18350/cr123.
Seeing as my H04 is already lighter and almost as small as many other 18350 headlamps, I don’t see much advantage to going smaller. But I can’t say I wouldn’t want a shorty tube for it! It doesn’t look like the sell the tube only though.
That little Mini is just the thing I have been looking at as a back up for my ArmyTek Tiara C1 Pro (I'm on #2; the first one failed). I was wondering if the flip-up diffuser feature was handy or just a gimmick. Now I know!
So I got two in the mail, reflector and tir version. I’m sorry I didn’t get the F version - there are subtle design changes to it. If you look at the pictures new models have a spring inside to hold it closed ao no more rattle and the light reflecting problem is easy solved with a bit of paint, nail polish or thicker tape.
Just ordered an 18650 H04 myself! So the S1 18350 tube fits without issue on the H04??? I just happen to have one of those 18350 tubes just sitting around…
Yeah on reddit KillZoneflashlights said they asked for short tube separately but skilhunt preferred not to sell them.
I mean I get it they don’t want to sell something that need some effort (strap wrench to unscrew the glued tube) to use. But they could just stop gluing that tube in the first place…
Because in some cases the would get a few $ instead of 0.
That’s my case and I’m sure I’m not the only one who rejects the offer of buying a battery tube for $40.
