Anyone have a D18vn with cslpm1 or cslnm1? is it worth it? meaning added throw for added heat? Let’s say cct is not a factor because it is what it is. I had the d4s cslpm1 and sold it because it was impractical (Heat), and i didn’t feel that the added throw was worth how quickly it got uncomfortably hot. it got hotter faster then my Lumintop X9l with roughly same output and throw. i’m wondering if d18 with osram is the same? or is the added throw so good it overrides, for you, the fact it gets really hot?
I dont know if this question makes sense, but i’m considering d18 with cslnm1 or -pm1.
ummm… uhh… WTF! I hope someone modded that themself, but looks like Hanks switch. unless they did a driver / switch swap??
OR, Hank really likes some other collector mroe then the numerous people on blf who have asked him… Because i have asked him more then once, and within the last month. We email often enough where i think he might actually remember me as one of those guys who always changes something or adds something to their order after palcing it and pays him through paypal seperately. I know theres others out there.
Anyway, i just checked the site, no dice on him offering it on the store. So maybe a first time trial for hank and that owner? Or someone is just really lucky
EDIT: i have not bought nearly as many Hank lights as other members here, i know that. But i have probably bought 25-30 Hank lights. half of them this year alone. Id like to think he would hook me up with one of those D4 aluminum back lights lol. i told him id pay extra of course.
is this person (on reddit) fu**ing with us? Like i am actually pissed off about this. maybe i need to walk away. :person_facepalming:
maybe he just offered Hank enough money where he didn’t want to say no?
Yup, i’m ordering one too. I looked back in my email and i guess i asked hank less times then i thought. Also, recently i asked him if he could do it in the D4sv2, not the d4v2. he said no he couldn’t, so i was confused. sorry everyone.
I bought a D4V2 E21 2000K without the magnet. I want it now !
Can the magnet ($ 2 only) be added or do I have to buy the entire magnetic tailcap (7 $ ) ?
I removed the spring from the tailcap and there is a small hole.
I guess this is the space to add the magnet.
I asked Hank but I’m not sure he understood my question: he offers me the tailcap at 7 $.
I’ve bought neodymium magnets at the hardware store, and grinding the correct size was a pain, I could only fine slightly larger ones and grinding them down to fit. It once I did all of that they still never worked right.
Personally i would buy the tail cap from Hank, but it sure a couple people on here that can walk you through the process
Just got a small batch XP-L HI T6 8D LED in stock, 2800K, 90CRI, we will not put it for sale on the site,
if you like it, please order the XP-L HI V2 5D 4000K version on the site, and send us an email,
so that we can use XP-L HI T6 8D LED for the light you purchase.
I hate to ask this question, but if you have the ability, is there anyway to give an estimate lumen rating for the kr4 or d4. I will look at the CREE data sheet and probably get a decent estimate… but I am just curious, more so compared to the 5d 4000k. I feel like my 5d 4000k lights are close to as bright as my 3a 5000k xpl-hi lights. Hoping the 8d is similar too!
