KC1 keychain light is available now

I’m aware and have flashed it to all of them later, I meant to compare the stock capabilities.

Thanks though!

Anybody baked the 26800 tube? Didn’t realize these were darker than previous grey D4Sv2

Wondering if baking would make it lighter and almost match

Hank-

What is this I hear, you are bringing back the EMISAR D1?!

or just a new 18650 side switch thrower?!

please share?

I am VERY excited about this. Some Reddit users and I have some questions if you don’t mind, Hank.

Will it come with the new body tube & magnetic tailcap available on D4V2, DT8, and DW4?

Will the head be the exact same design or will it be changed?

Will it have all the same emitter options as KR1?

Will it have a lighted switch option? If so, will it be standard or only via email request?

Yes, the body tube and magnetic tailcap are the same as D4V2, DW4.
The design has changed a bit, including the threaded retaining ring just like DW4.
Yes. it will have the same emitter options as KR1.
The lighted switch options are standard, alone with the SS bezel.

So even China won’t ship to Russia now? I didn’t think China would cave-in to pressure from the West. Interesting.

Hank

when could we expect the "new D1" to be available on website?

oooh, oooh, could the D1 v2 have a K1-style RGB switch backlight in lieu of RGB aux?

That would be excellent!

Also general Hanklight question, can the aux emitters be swapped for different colours for added funk?

ETA: I’ve checked and they’re RGB packages, nevermind.

That’s great news! Where did you look? Just so I know where to look in the future…

I’ve looked through my DM11’s TIR. At the right angle it presents a magnified, sufficiently undistorted image of the aux emitters.

Yeah, I thought Russia and China were buddies.

The fact that Hank cannot deliver orders to Russia does not mean that China has stopped trading with Russia. Of course there are difficulties, but China has not turned away from Russia.
Are there any new novelties planned at Hank’s, does anyone know?

Yup, D1v2 announced and as Hank said it will be available next week

Thanks

Will B35 be available in D1 or DM1.12?

It will almost definitely be available in D1 because D1 will have the same emitter options we KR1.

It will not be available in DM1.12 because DM1.12’s driver only supports 3V emitters.

Anyone else hoping that a 21700 battery tube gets released for the D4V2, DW4, and the new D1?

I for one for sure is hoping to get one D4V2 in 21700 to power 4 power hungry emitters instead of fata55 D4SV2...
