KC1 keychain light is available now

Ordered DM11 B35AM 4500 k. Can’t wait !

I’m probably going to email hank, but what out of all of Hanks choices would be the rosiest?

Hello Hank Wang,
How can I see order tracking?

_I enter my account, Order # 1000028997 11/18/2021 Complete,
clik: View Order,
clik: “TRACK YOUR ORDER”
I don’t see a working tracking number.

click: “51875110895362” It doesn’t work.

Clck: http://track.4px.com/old?locale=en_US:
I see: HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Locale part “US:” contains invalid characters_

Please track from here, but for the after sale service, it’s better to send us an email

i still have a handful of xhp35 HI 3000k 90CRI from Kaidoman. They are the most nuetral warm white I've seen. They are NOT green, their not necessarily rosy. But they're big advantage is even when comparing them to 219b sw30, they do not look green (sw30 is very rosy). So the xhp35 HI 3000k 90 cri will be going in my dm11. It's a lower output, but awesome tint.

Here’s what I tested. X-Rite i1Pro, medium mode, center spot diffused with DC fix.

Flashlight LED CCT Duv CRI Ra CRI R9 CRI R12
Noctigon K1 XHP35 HI 3000K 3571 –0.000418 83.2 15.0 67.3

Looks like a good compromise. I wonder how the output compares to the B35AR amp for amp.

I am sure xhp35 will be substantially brighter given the low R9 value.

thanks for this info!

But it’s also roughly half the die size, so throw will surely be better, but flux might be similar.

@LuxWad

Any news to share on your DM11 review? Take your time! I’m just looking forward to watch it while I wait for my slow shipped-unit.

[edit] @ doesn’t seem to be the right syntax… anyone want to call him out for me?? (Sorry)

This forum doesn’t support callouts unfortunately (or maybe fortunately)

It’s not the full review, but here is my first look and impressions of the DM11 (Nichia B35AM 5000K).

The review will take another couple of months or so, I will have to get another with a different LED. I’m not sure which is better, SFT40 or XHP35 HI…

Do you work with commercials? You should work with commercials. I’m sold!

Crap! I really want one now... I mean the camera

Hank are you going to stock additional DM11 optics on your components page?

The one on the far right is what I’m using in my dev host. Or perhaps even more floody, not sure exactly which optic it’s using. It’s a nice beam, but it’s not very throwy at all. And the host is pretty scratched up and had some manual corrections to the shape. So it’s great for dev purposes, since it’s functionally the same as a production model but not in good enough condition to be sold to a customer or sent to a reviewer.

This looks like a nice upgrade! :smiley:

It might help to check the lens, and maybe polish off the AR coating. Hank said your light is 99% the same as a production version, and the lens might be that other 1%. I noticed the coating on my dev host was different than his other lights, and gave the beam a green hue, but he said that’ll be fixed in production. If that affects yours, you should be able to fix it by scraping off the AR coating with a polishing cloth or something.

I’m leaving mine as-is because it’s the only time I’ve seen this type of AR coating and its uniqueness makes it useful. The coating has sort of a rainbow hue depending on the angle. When I remove the lens, the beam looks white instead of green.

Ordered a green B35AM R9080 3500K w/amber switch back light. Could not resist after that vid.

DM11 > D1S :cowboy_hat_face:

Glad you liked the video! I don’t do any commercials… maybe in the future!

Thanks for the suggestion! I gave it a try - There is not any coating that I can see on the lens of my light, and removing the lens did not change the color of the beam in any way. It appears based off this sample that Hank has listened to the feedback and changed/removed the AR coating.
