For this, a LEDiL solution I think worthy to consider:

Suitable as both K6.1 or K4.3
Optics diameter is around 40mm, but only ~11mm tall.
I’m holding out for tint ramping 
It’s ugly :confounded:
D4S 21700 would be better, not only in appearance.
^ my thoughts too. The d4 is A perfect size for what it is meant for. Small EDC that fits well in the pocket. The KR4 21700 would Get my business…
It looks nice, would look a bit better with more cooling fins on the head, like at least 1-2 if not 3.
I just wish there was an upgraded D4s with lighted switch. Precious metals, sure, doesn’t matter. I know now that I have a d4 (brass) with a lighted switch I wouldn’t buy an aluminum version with a regular switch. It pains me that the D4sV2 switch is so nice (functionally) but isn’t lighted. It’s just a nice extra. Emisar does have the nicest side switches of all my lights though.
Is there any problem changing lens on D4V2 Ti? I want to buy extra lens but not confident about changing it by myself.
I just want a TiCu KR1………
Hank sent me a message about the K9.3 lockout bug, so I investigated and fixed it. Weirdest bug I’ve seen in Anduril so far. Still not sure what exactly causes it, but it acts like a compiler bug or something. If I simply add some extra no-op instructions in the affected code path, the issue goes away.
It’s weird because it only affects the K9.3, even though the lockout and aux LED code is exactly the same on a bunch of other lights. Also weird because it goes directly from lockout to “off”, and there is no code path which does that any more. So that would suggest it’s rebooting, but it doesn’t do the boot-up blink. Also weird because only lockout is affected; the same configuration works in the regular “off” mode.
A steady color works fine in the low or high modes, and every pattern (including blinking) works fine in disco / rainbow / voltage modes, but a single color blinking fails:
|
1 Color |
Disco |
Rainbow |
Voltage |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Off |
pass |
pass |
pass |
pass |
|
Low |
pass |
pass |
pass |
pass |
|
High |
pass |
pass |
pass |
pass |
|
Blinking |
fail |
pass |
pass |
pass |
But that “fail” becomes a “pass” if it has a few more bytes of padding, if it takes a few clock cycles longer to run.
Updated builds:
I doubt it’s a compiler bug, since those are very rare in practice. I probably did something wrong… but I haven’t been able to figure out what. So I hope to give it a more proper fix if I can confirm what’s causing it. Would be helpful to build it pre-fix on other platforms, to check if the compiler version is relevant. The buggy version was built with gcc-avr 1:5.4.0+Atmel3.6.1-2 from Debian.
Also, code for the K9.3 is now available in the anduril2 branch.
Glad to see you back ToyKeeper, i think we did not see you around for a while, thank you for fix!
Good to see you!
Is there any way to safely (non-destructively) dismantle the USB charging circuit if I wanted to reach the positive terminal of the battery tube, i.e. the opposite side of what you see on the picture? Call me a cleaning maniac but I frequently clean contact parts like springs, brass buttons, tube ends etc. with alcohol to have the lowest possible contact resistance between battery and circuitry. Fiddling with a cotton swab in the tube's obscurity is maybe not the best solution. ;-)
hank, are the D4V2 (black and grey) out of stock?
Will they be available again anytime soon?
Thanks!
This! + xp-l hi 5D and 219c 4000k
Received my copper KR1 today, its great. i know this is probably too heavy for some, but i am 100% ok with it. i was worried that i picked the sst40 emitter, but i have been messing with it the last 3 hours of darkness and its a great all around edc beam in the KR1 - 5000k, very nice spill, throws very well (i feel better then the claimed 29KCD), and takes well over 2 minutes to heat up on turbo. i don’t know if the extended turbo is the heavy copper body, the emitter, or both but its great. heres some pics for those who care. finish is beautifully done. Also, shipping was incredible. got it to CT, USA in 15 DAYS! my quickest shipment from China in the last year. I didn’t pay extra for fast shipping.
Thanks Hank!
Terrible tint shift on that sst40.
its really not as dramatic in real life, i used whatever the “stock” setting is on an Iphone 12… I see what you’re saying, and maybe it is like that to the naked eye, but with my normal setting (woods, tree lines, etc) it is hard to notice such things as tint shift. then again i am not the most preceptive in these matters. Also, for what its worth, the spill isnt quote that bright either, i think the phones camera was compensating in some areas… i probably shouldn’t post beam shots really bc i don’t know the right way to take the photo. i don’t want to discount the light by taking a crap photo.
now the xhp50 5000k emitter - that is some tint shift…
Have you seen this?
I hope I’ll be able to be around more. For now though, I’m still dealing with some issues which keep me away most of the time.
Nice to see you back our Lumen Goddess
