KC1 keychain light is available now

Read again…TiCu…


This looks terrific. Specs sound excellent. Really looking forward to this, Hank! :+1:

is it possible to create an optional usb-c charging module?
only a 10mm long module to screw between body and head with charging port and passthrue

in my dreams i got a D4V2 with charging port, tail switch AND side switch and 3 levels of AUX brightness :laughing:

This with SFT40, Ti-Cu, and K1 style in body usb C charging… PERFECTION!

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.

Anduril 2 and you can request by email if you want 1.

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.

^ that’s very neat idea.
Not everyone likes internal charging but also not everyone dislike it.

I’m really looking forward to this, Hank. Any idea when it will be available?

Hi Hank,

Would you kindly share what battery it’s using (18650, 21700. 26650 or possibly all three?

Thank you.



Oh man, that’s massive :/

Not what i had in mind when you said “smaller thrower”.

How does it look like next to KR1?

BLF GT Micro in brass mine holds turbo for a bit over 1 minute,even down to lower voltage levels.

He’s said previously that it’s using 21700. That also means an 18650 will fit, but may need a spacer to make contact and not rattle.

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).

Yes! My thoughts exactly.

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.

Thanks for the picture, Hank.

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?
