I think integrated charging in the battery tube is a great idea like in the K1. This way, you can have a charging and non charging version that is swappable. Keeping the charging circuit separate from the driver is a big plus IMO, and water proofing is superior. I hate rubber port covers.
I’m holding a K1 (from Artiet59…thanks bro!) for the first time. This is awesome! 100% agreement…if a maker puts charging as an option then it needs to be as the K1. Those flimsy rubber ports is what has always turned me off.
you're welcome man! And I couldn't agree more about Hanks charging on the K1 / k9.3, it is the perfect solution. Appeases both - people who want it and people who don't.
i can attest to this, please do Hank. I have a modded KR1 with the sft40 and it is by far the best led of any KR1 setup I have owned (sst40, w2, W1, green W1, green w2, sst20, xpl-hi).
According to my information it should become available again by September 2021. How do you think about the other LED suggestions, Hank?
I have asked several times already but I try once more. :D SFT-40 is not listed below because it is being recommended already.
Nichia E21A 1800K R9080 or R9050...this is as close to real candlelight as it gets
Samsung LH351D (2700K - 6500K, 70CRI - 90CRI)...whereas 90CRI will most likely be favored by most people
Cree XP-L2 4000K - 5000K...yes, it has horrible tintshift but it's still one of the most efficient emitters and underneath a frosted 10623 or 10624 the artifacts should disappear. Maybe it's worth trying out?
Cree XHP50.3 HI 3V...once it becomes available
Cree XP-P...a good opponent to Osram's KW CSLNM1.TG but hopefully available in warmer tints (< 6000K)
Has anyone measured the colour output of the sw35 219B Hank is using? I couldn’t find anything other than measurements from a slightly sketchy phone app and I’d like to know how rosy they are.
