Terrible tint shift on that sst40.

[ArtieT59]

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…

Hello BLF, I hope everyone has been doing well and keeping safe in this new year. Over the past few months, I’ve had some time to think about a better flashlight driver. I think this project has come far enough for me to share. Introduction This new driver was born from the desire for a fairly high power, practical flashlight driver, and regulated at all levels. Some of you may be familiar with my previous GXB line of drivers which were powerful but impractical, as well as the more recen…

Good to see you!

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.

We all hope that you can deal with the issues so that you can be on BLF more!

Yesterday, my second K9.3 ("HighCRI") arrived at my door. Its configuration is grey body, amber switch light, CH1 E21A 2000K 98CRI, CH2 SST20 4000K 95CRI. Unlike my first K9.3 mentioned here before, this one is flawless. I noticed Hank has designed quite a large inner tube diameter to even allow 22700 batteries like Molicel M50A. That's a nice move since some 21700 batteries are actually larger than 21mm in diameter.

Since Emisars and Noctigons always like to flock together, I could not help but to order another cyan D4v2 with E21A 2000K 98CRI which also arrived in perfect condition.

Bottom line: Color me happy again :-)

[mortuus]

wow they look so pretty together.

[Sari33]

When for D4 or Kr4 with custom mixed tint selectable dual channel? Would Be nice alternative of IF25 With E21A leds

[g_damian]

What is a new style clip for KR4 made from? It is much less magnetic than an original clip.

[ArtieT59]

could be a Stainless Steel with less iron content, would be my guess.

Beautiful lights Lux! Glad to hear they’re good quality. All of mine have been perfect… interestingly, I saw SST20 4000K for the first time today on my new D4SV2 and I love it. Nice soft color for an outside walk

I’m loading my cart with a D4V2 and I’m wondering about choosing the 2700K version.

Any major cons of these leds in this flashlight? My first option was going to be the XP-L HI V3 3A 5000K.

Any information is appreciated

I don’t have any info on the e21 2700k in the d4v2, but I have the sst20 2700k in a c8 style thrower and it has surprising range and brightness for such a warm tint. I love it in that thrower, abd it has made me consider it in the KR4 when I previously would’ve never considered it

Thanks for your feedback Artiet59!

I guess that in a C8 the behaviour of this led will be a bit different, as these will be under optics! Still, it is good to know that the brightness vs tint is good.

My main concerns are regarding heating (compared to XP-L HI) and also about these leds having some “greenish” trail as others SST20 leds have. I would like not having it, hence my question.

[ArtieT59]

Today received my green D4sV2. i never thought the day would happen, for 6 months i was convinced (because hank told me) that hank wasn’t making anymore green D4sV2 but now i have one. 4000k, it is awesome! throwy and bright!

Side Note- the green is much different then i thought it would be and i like it more than i thought i would. really almost looks gray, very subtle.

Also, this was my second order from hank in the last month that from the day of order to arrival at my house in CT, USA that took 15 days! really happy with hanks shipping times.

Hi Hank, will Nichia 219C be available again?

Hi Hank, will Nichia 219C be available again?

I sure would love a E21 2000K D4sV2

[Garik_F]

Hank site says «The new batch D4V2 does not have lanyard hole for better hand comfortableness, if you need lanyard attachment hole, please send us an email.» - is this true? Do someone have D4V2 from new batch and can post a picture?

[led_400]

Just got a new cyan D4Sv2 and noticed there is no more mid-ramp blink when switching between regulated and FET output. Old D4Sv1 and all my D4/D4v2 have it (aside from the e21a of course), wondering if this is due to a driver difference in the new model? or was it taken out of anduril? Can anybody confirm their recent batch D4Sv2 do/don’t have the blink?
