Can anyone comment on the finish of the KR4 Ti vs the D4V2 Ti? I was hoping for something smooth. I found the grip and machining far too abrasive on the titanium D4V2.
There is a new emitter option – LH351D 90CRI 5000K!
How could it compare to the XPL HI V3 3A in regards to brightness and quality of tint, heat etc?
Better CRI obviously, anything else? I don’t have a light with that emitter
Fairly close or equal in output to XP-L HI, hotter than XP-L HI but cooler than 219C or SST-20, floodier than XP-L HI (pretty close to XP-L HD in beam profile with less tint shift), tint varies wildly depending on batch/bin. If Hank finally got some I would wager the tint is at least decent.
I’m curious how the 10621 would look with the E21A. I prefer those in my D4’s and KR4’s.
Really bad (shape, tint shift etc)
Between Clemence and others if it was possible it would be used but its not.
Has anyone tried modifying the mcpcb to allow the optic to sit lower with these emitters? I’m thinking a counterbore that allows the legs to sit ~0.3mm or so lower might make a meaningful difference in beam characteristics.

Thanks for the response! If I get one I’d have to think long and hard about changing from the ever reliable XPL HI led that’s for sure…
Still looks awesome though
Is it a present for your girlfriend ?
No, it is for my collection. Are you implying the multicolour tritium vials option is feminine?

If it’s for a woman or a girl, I would say it’s quite feminine. Are you a woman or a girl?
No I am not. Why did you ask if it is a gift for a woman?
Don’t feed the troll.
Sorry. I didn’t know…
What I mean, it’s a very nice tail-cap switch !
It makes the flashlight very beautiful, like a multicolored star in the sky. Congratulation, you have excellent taste !
B cracked and D splash are the most exquisite ! Good job Hank !
You are so right. I forgot myself and thought this was a troll-free forum. Thanks for the wakeup call.
That grey camo though
Grey camo looks great.

Thanks!
It was a collaboration of an idea I had for the design, realized by a British machinist, Richard Hipwell and then I installed the trits.

Thank you.
I haven’t seen a photo of this yet, so I made one. The anatomy of the KR4/KR1 switch:
Is it glued? I thought you couldn’t take apart the tailcap like the fw3a.

I made a tool with exact fit and had to apply some force. It was either very tight or had a tiny amount of transparent glue (couldn’t see anything).
My KR4 was not glued but was torqued very tight. It needed a spammer tool to open without damaging the brass retaining ring.

The abrasivness will go with use . I did a photo session with mine on strong linen and it did diminished only by moving it around .
Caught a sickness . I found out i'm not alone .

De-doming one would be interesting. Probably need to disassemble the head to get a flat cut.
