Yeah, I was really liking the idea of mixing them and making purple ambient light for my bedside table on candle mode.
Instead, I’ll see what kind of pink I can make with the 660nm and 2700k.
Thanks!
I was thinking about getting that setup but I don’t know… Regular or copper with SW45.
There’s too much options. I’ve been told that’s it’s better to go with SST-20 because they’re less floody, no extra charge and better CRI.
Is it me or was there a regular D4V2 with illuminated switch? The current listing has the old, black switch.
I believe you can email Hank for the lighted switch. He will give you the secret SKU to enter on the website to pay the extra cost. I already have the SST-20 in 4000k in a DT8, so I wanted something different so I went with the Nichia’s.
Those are perfectly valid reasons. I’d like to see an extended tube w/ USB charger available in addition to the regular tube so that you still get to choose to go without it- Emisars and Noctigons are all about mixing and matching. Personally I’m a fan of built-in charging since no matter how light you’ve packed, there will probably be a phone charger around wherever you are. I’ll still swap a cell for one of the spares I keep in my backpack most of the times, but there are situations I want to be doubly sure I’ll have at least one operational light.
In LuxWad’s review of the dm1.12 ([REVIEW] Noctigon DM1.12 (SBT90.2 Throw, SST20 Flood)), he noted that the model could benefit from a frosted optic option for the flood channel. I thought there was a floody option for the d18. Aren’t these the same optics? Anyone know for sure?
Better yet, sell a charging adapter that threads on BETWEEN the normal tube and the head. It can have a USB port in the threads like K1, or a rubber flap on the side or whatever. That way the people who want integrated charging can buy it as an add-on, and the people that don’t want it get a smaller light. Like this concept:
I agree that D4V2/DW4/DT8 do not have enough threads on the front of the body tube for the charging adapter’s port to be in the threads. It would need to be placed either on the face of the charging adapter next to the center positive terminal, or on the outside and covered by a rubber flap.
Thanks for the info.
How do you like it? I’ve read that the high CRI options are nice but underwhelming. People expect a hot rod since it’s a Hank light. Something reasonable is not an option
