No, for XP-L HI go with 7.5A.
Got mine about 4 days ago. 3 weeks from order to delivery. Canāt complain about that really. I usually expect 4 to 6 weeks.
Only complaint I have? Itās really really really really, heavy. Even with the 350 tube on it, itās really heavy. Donāt know what I was thinking. It was so good looking, my finger couldnāt help but hit the buy button.
The 4000k 219Cās look really nice and of course it operates perfectly and is very well built. I donāt know what to do with it. Too heavy to carry and Iām not much on collecting shelf queens. Itās back in the box for now.
They do look good and agreed, very very heavy. Funny thing is, I thought the aluminium D4V2 was reasonably heavy but now I have a renewed appreciation for itās low mass in the pocket properties.
Despite its weight Iāve been using the copper D4V2 on dog walks, with it being winter here in UK I appreciate the hand warmer and extended runtime of the copper thermal properties.
I have since put a forced patina on mine using the hard boiled eggs method.
I have been carrying the brass d4v2 all day, everyday for about a month now, since i got it. I donāt know how much heavier the copper is, but ill buy it off you.
EDIT - What emitters does it have? - i see its 4000k nichia 219c
PM me if youāre interested.

Bruh, you literally collect flashlights :person_facepalming:
Guess youāve not donāt much photography.
Would you happen to have any more pictures? Iāve been on the fence and trying to resistā¦but that looks good! :sunglasses: :+1:
Sure - These shots are after the patina treatment, the last shot outside is after a few days of wear.

Nice reply with the last picture āon the fenceā LOL
That forced patina looks great!
It sure doesā¦thank you for the additional pictures! 
What is the correct version of Anduril (or Anduril 2) for D4V2 with E21A? Is it going to be the one for KR4 with nofet? If I remember correctly, both KR4 and D4V2 with E21A have the same driver (linear with 5A max).
Thanks.
I found the answer. I should have done more search before asking. I certainly will next time.
Hank,
I received my replacement parts order, thank you! Like a 2 week shipping time! The two new deep carry clips are great on my KR1 and kr4.
My Noctigon KR4 in Cyan with E21A at 2700K arrived today!
Ordered November 13th (soon after the Reddit post), shipped December 1st, and arrived in the U.S. at my house on the morning of the 18th (18 days in shipping).
Everything seems to be working fantastically - flashed Anduril 2 via the reflashing kit (just the AVRdude commands on Linux), light functions well. Thereās a small chip out of the corner of the 10621 optics but it doesnāt seem to affect the beam and Iām fine with it.
Edit 2020-12-18: As noted by Frostcream, this appears to be an expected part of the LED optic, not a flaw.
I had trouble with the light flickering when turning on (later realizing it was factory resetting when pushing the button), but as noted in this 1lumen review of the KR1, about 4 times of loosening and tightening fixed that.
You mean the one directly next to one of the LEDs? This optic has what appears to be a chip, but it isnāt. Theyāre all like that. I thought the same thing when I got my first D4V2 (same optic)
Yep, directly next to one of the LEDs, at the edge. Thank you for clarifying that! Iām guessing it might be a part of the manufacturing process (e.g. where the mold is filled). Iāll edit my original post as well.
I bet you mean 10622 .
Edit 2020-12-18: Ignore this, I goofed at reading comprehension.
Normally the KR4 with E21A would be shipped with the 10622 optics, yes. However, this one is clearly not frosted. Based on the LED Supplyās Quad Carclo page , the only common quad non-frosted Carclo optic is the 10621.
Someone on Reddit had mentioned that Hank may have run out of 10622 optics. I had asked Hank via email about swapping optics as well, and given what I wrote I may have accidentally opted into the 10621.
However, I picked the warmer (2700K) E21A, so tint shift isnāt an issue and I do like having a bit more throw. Iām totally satisfied with this outcome.
(Of course, Iād have to buy another optic to make sure, and I could just get another flashlightā¦ This may be my first purchase after many months of deliberation, but it probably wonāt be my last.)
The frosted one is 10623 .
