I want to try Emissar, and it is unclear on intl-outdoor.com whether d4v2 comes with anduril 2 by default or i should by flashing kit to update it myself?
Have you looked at Shockli and Vapcell’s crazy top of the line 1000mah high current cells? Those are real beasts!!! They can push harder than NCR18650GA. It’s been my dream to have a 14500 light that can actually take advantage of these two cells. The FWAA can utilize the power of this but it has other problems.
It’s not just the cell—a tiny 1aa light isn’t going to have much thermal mass, so it can’t run at high power for long. Also, a 1000mah cell would get used up awfully quickly at such high drain. Even the 18650 in the D4v2 gets drained pretty fast, which is why the 26500-powered D4Sv2 exists.
I love this idea. I have employed it in my flashlight design projects. A simple integrated charging circuit that threads on in-between the head and body tube, with a USB-C port on it just like K1. Except it’s optional and removable.
Yeah I would have hoped for something like a Zebralight SC700, which is possible to make a with classic construction (i.e. not the LED on driver board, not unibody), since a TIR is shorter than a reflector, at worst by adding 5mm, making it as long as the KR1, and around the same thickness despite the 21700 cell (no signal tube).
I think the KR1 fits exactly between this DM11 and the KR4. Looks like a nice size to hold, considering how the slightly smaller KR1 is comfortable yet a little small in a side-switch grip (in my medium hands).
I like the classy but brutalist design. I think I will make this my first 3500k light with the classy nichia emitter.
Very nice flashlight except for maybe the knurling, seems a bit too aggressive for such a relatively small light.
Is there any particular reason why you designed it that way?
