Beamshots of Noctigon KR1 Osram W1 + W2 (and others)

Just pulled the trigger on a W2 thanks to your excellent post!

I want to get the KR1 but it looks…too…not manly enough.

Manly enough ? KR1 in black is just a tube like every other light in its general size…

Has anyone compared the KR1 with the Manker MC13? The MC13 throws 20% further, but is a bit bigger. Still in doubt which one to get :slight_smile:

There was also such a choice. I needed the option 18350. As a result, I ordered the MC13. In favor of the choice: price (ordered for $ 46), longer light length, better equipment. I like Manker design better. Only better handling is in favor of the KR1.

MC13 has TIR vs a traditional reflector in the KR1. Different beam profile and use case IMHO.

Nice comparison!

I think so, but the C8+ with Osram LED was not available back then (and is still only available from Neal AFAIK) and the FT03 uses a big SST-40.

Could you please be so kind and fix your quote? Took me a while to find your text.

NEEDS MORE TACTICAL SPIKES!!!

I’m curious if anyone here is using this light with the SST-40? I am wondering if this led will throw farther compared with the other options as well as other differences.

Oh geeze… I literally received my custom D18 today (even mix of 2700 and 4000 emitters…) and your awesome beam shots are making me want to order another light

Really nice beamshots! Thank you!
