Emisar D3AA is available now

Hi @Hank_Wang

Could there ever be a KR4K?

Or a smaller KR1 like a KR4(K) with a smaller reflector and single LED for a smaller tail switch thrower?

The post-off voltage display (which really needs a better name) only activates now if the torch recently entered Off or Lockout mode. It also uses a low brightness instead of high, if the torch was previously at a very low level. It was annoying having the aux turn on high and light up the whole room right after the main LEDs were used in moon mode.

This is Rev 710, right? I‘d love to test this out with my 0135 and 0136 models. Unfortunately, I cannot produce hex files myself, so I will have to wait until these become available. Thanks @ToyKeeper, for all these improvements!

Ops…i am sorry! There is a good place in BLF for your firmware?

I think this is the main Anduril2 thread

Anduril ... 2?

I did a major rewrite of Anduril. For a long time, I tried to avoid changing the UI much, and stuck to only small changes so it could keep backward compatibility. This was holding it back though, so I finally did all the bigger changes I had been avoiding. The new version is called Anduril 2. Current status 2020-09-30: Almost done; just finishing up a few little things. What changed? A lot: Uses a “simple UI” by default. This has only the core functions, like a normal flashlight — on (ramp),…

But BLF has a tendency to derail threads (which is good).

The tailcap PCB is glued in with CA glue (super glue), you can use some acetone to dissolve it.

Thank you for the suggestion. I poured some acetone in the tailcap, but the pcb is not moving at all. Do you have some tips?

I searched a little and found the following link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Hanklights/comments/w0huq3/d4v2_tailcap_magnet_removed/

It looks like the glue needs some time soaking and some heat. I put the tail cap into a container and poured some acetone for a proper soak. I will check back tomorrow and see if I would be able to remove the magnet.

Thank you!

The 0136 (d4sv2-tintramp-fet) builds don’t work yet, there’s emisar-2ch which works on my dual channel D4S and is essentially 0135, but there’s no direct equivalent to 0136 yet, you can use the emisar-2ch build but it won’t use the FET. Here are images for every currently-working build target:

Wow thanks! Will try those.

This build is fantastic on the D2. I’d imagine it would be great on most 2 channel lights too.

@Hank_Wang you should offer MT-G2 if you still have them.
I’m in love with D1K creamy room sweeper

Oh btw, everyone interested in yellow crap around hotspot gone on XHP70.3, cover white silicone around dies.

Nice! Wonder if there is any thermal impact since black absorbs heat?

[LuxWad]

+1 for MT-G2, it’s an awesome emitter, I’d love to have it in D1k or DM11.

I know you used to sell it, would you consider bringing it back Hank?

[Valynor]

Just coming back from a little night walk with the D1K (XHP 70.3 HI 4000K 70 CRI from the not-so-secret-anymore secret menu).

I really want to heap praise on the efficiency of the XHP 70.3 + boost driver combo:
The light was able to sustain level 7 (120/150) indefinitely @ 10°C air temperature, body was approx. 35-40°C. I’m impressed.
I guess I better bring lots of spare batteries for those longer walks.

+5 on MTG2

[Hank_Wang]

As far as I know, the MT-G2 LED is out of stock and discontinued.

Cree MT-G2 Search results

Looking around on Digikey, Mouser, and others, the MTGBEZ-06 is still available in a variety of color temps

[Hikelite]

Mouser has only a single MT-G2 6V model listing in stock and a single MT-G2 9V listing model in in stock, the rest of 180 listings are labeled as Non-Stocked, just because they show up on a search does not mean they are stocked.

[LuxWad]

You’re right, I wasn’t paying attention to the voltage, rn they have a single reel of 2700K, Digikey doesn’t have any @ 6V. There’s just a few other sites with small quantities available

[Jeffgoldblum]

This D1 sale is awesome
