I ordered new clips and they showed up 5 days later. I must’ve done something right
I ordered 2 lights from him and he shipped them 2 weeks from when I ordered them. Not a huge deal. I emailed him asking about tritium and he threw in that they’d be shipping the following week. He sure is a nice fella.
I’m having a problem with my KR1 W2. If everything is tightened down and a battery installed the LED is always on emitting the faintest light possible (much lower than level 1, only visible if looking for it in the dark). I’ve tried cleaning all contacts with alcohol and I don’t feel any burrs on the signal tube or anything. I can usually troubleshoot my own lights but this one has me stumped. Any ideas?
18350 tube? If so, don’t use the strap ring. I made that mistake with similar results.
No, this is with the 18650 tube. I do have an 18350 tube, I can try and see if it happens with the 18350 tube as well.
EDIT: Can confirm, problem persists with 18350 tube as well.
Has anyone received a copper D4V2 yet?
Would you possibly share some photos?
I have had the simlar issues with my KR1 w2. I have noticed that the tightening of the tail cap / head is pretty temperamental as compared to say the KR4. I still have to Untighten and retighten the the head and tail when changing my battery on the KR1 almost everytime.
Yes, please.
I finally pull trigger on the brass, my first d4v2, and the copper came out a week after I received it… damn…
Possibly a short in the driver or somewhere else.
I’ve been lurking as a guest for months, but signed up to chip in on the delays. I ordered late November 13th, and just today (Dec. 1st, 8:56 am EST) received the notification email of my order shipping - about 17 days in processing.
Good things come to those who wait - as others have mentioned, there might be shortages of specific components or other reasons for the variance. Considering all the activity after the Reddit post, I’m impressed with how well Hank is managing this.
In case anyone’s wanting to correlate components: KR4 with E21A in 2700K, cyan, stainless steel bezel, matte black 18350 tube, plus a firmware reflashing kit.
Hank, when sand body d4v2 will be back in stock?
Order update for those waiting. I ordered a D4v2 Titanium on Nov 10 and received it today. Fedex shipping. About 3 weeks. Neutral White - XP-L HI V2 5D, 4000K. Also got a clip, a KR4 deep carry clip, 18350 tube. I did not receive the floody optic. Maybe I’ll ask about the optic on my next order.
You can buy 10621 or frosted 10623 optic from LEDSupply for $2.38 with free shipping.
Good info. Thanks.
I’m also considering this exact light. How are you liking it? Is the output as rosy as people say it is?
I love it. 4000k seems about right for me, although I have 2700k on order so that might change. It has a rosy tint compared to my SP40 which I thought had the same led, but it makes the SP40 look green. Also it’s heavier than I expected and the copper gets hot really fast.
Glad to hear! Really want to order one now. Was just scared that it’d be still quite yellow. I found Samsung LH351D 4000K too yellow
I would like to see another side-switch mini-thrower for this reason. These double-tube designs are just too hit & miss for me, i’m done with them.
At Last! D4V2 Cu (with Ti raised button ring)
Sorry about the quality of the images, I don't have decent artificial lighting and now that I live in UK I'm bereft of quality daylight with a constant overcast sky day after day.....plus the rain, always raining....
I'm used to carrying a bog standard Aluminium D4V2, with stainless steel bezel and clip and used to its weight, this copper version makes it feel lighter than air.
Weighing in at 172.4g without a battery or clip installed, by comparison the aluminium D4V2 with S/S bezel, clip fitted and battery weighs 78.2g (with battery 125g)
Sadly there are a few issues with the flashlight not matching the lovely photo at the start of this thread with perfectly shiny machined surfaces, mine has surface blemishes where the shiny machined surface has patches of dull, sandblasted like surface finish. My example also came with scratches to the base of the tailcap. Not sure if its worth trying to deal with these issues given the time it took to get this into my hands, just disappointed it does not meet the typical standard I have come to expect from Hank. I will try to capture the blemishes but lacking in decent lighting and no natural light, will try tomorrow.
Dammit thats beautiful… Thank you for the photos.
and yea… those scratches are TERRIBLE, ill take it off you hands
