I think a AA version of the KR4/KR1 would be great. Basically a Hank TS10.
“None” option seems to be an oversight on this poll.
I’m waiting for reviews/potential bug fixes/more photos of it to gauge the size.
At the moment, my SP10 Pro has slimmer form factor and throwier beam, so I’m pretty happy on the AA/14500 factor. Granted the D3AA has a superior driver.
If this was a right angle light, I’d have ordered one already.
Zero for now because I want to see some reviews before I commit to it.
Zero so far, maybe 2 when I see some reviews. Also I don’t want to order new cells for it.
I haven’t ordered any… I just have the prototype Hank sent for dev purposes. It’s mostly production quality, but he used the wrong resistor values for aux, so those are way too bright and I can’t leave them on. I should probably try to get a full production model at some point, so I can use standby aux. Would also like to see what the clip is like.
You 10000% deserve a free one being sent to you.
I ordered one based on ToyKeeper’s recommendation - 5700k DD with default optics.
Gotta get my hands on it first, but I have a feeling I’ll be ordering 1-2 more as it’s a great EDC size for me personally.
The one I ordered was also 5700 dedomed.
However, now that I think about it, in many of my recent mods I’ve found a great combo is 5000 or 5700 519a in a triple with two of them dedomed and the last with dome-on.
Leaving one dome on dims the hotspot, but makes the overall beam cooler and adds some extra usable spill. It’s a great beam pattern for EDC.
The D3AA looks really nice!
Reminds me of my ZebraLights, but in a triple.
May have to get one for Christmas.
What do you mean by a set of RGB. I only see a deep red option (and amber).
I wanted to try W1 emitters so I ordered an amber and a 6000k. Not sure this is the right host for a W1 but I’ll find out soon. Getting a red and a cyan.
I’ve made my decision in same way 519A 5700 DD default optics.
Secret menu. Just email Hank and tell him which LEDs you want in it.
Ordered blue with 519 4500k dedomed. Also clip and all extra optics. RGB switch.
Will give it to my 4 year old granddaughter as a present. We play with flashlights all the time. Blue is her favorite color. Will use NiMh battery for safer use for child.
We will experiment with different optics and teach her about lenses. Also will use RGB voltage readout to teach her about voltage. I have a plan to teach her about voltage and current. Kids are sponges and can learn almost anything about science.
Eventually she will teach me how to better program Anduril!
That’s the nicest thing I’ve heard all day.
Just one because wallet says so.
@ToyKeeper (or anyone else) can you tell me how the RGB voltage readout will work when it’s powered by 1.5V NiMh AA batteries?
It’s basically like this:
… except in that graph I got the colors a bit messed up, and everything except red should shift down one level. Really should re-make that picture sometime.
- under 0.9V: off
- 0.9 … 1.0V: red
- 1.0 … 1.1V: yellow
- 1.1 … 1.2V: green
- 1.2 … 1.3V: cyan
- 1.3 … 1.4V: blue
- 1.4 … 1.6V: purple
- 1.6 … 2.0V: white
An Eneloop spends most of its life in the cyan range.
Here’s an excerpt from ui/anduril/aux-leds.c
where it defines the voltage range for each color. One dV (deciVolt) is 0.1V.
uint8_t voltage_to_rgb() {
static const uint8_t levels[] = {
// voltage, color
0, 0, // black
#ifdef DUAL_VOLTAGE_FLOOR
// AA / NiMH voltages
9*dV, 1, // R
10*dV, 2, // R+G
11*dV, 3, // G
12*dV, 4, // G+B
13*dV, 5, // B
14*dV, 6, // R + B
16*dV, 7, // R+G+B
20*dV, 0, // black
#endif
// li-ion voltages
29*dV, 1, // R
33*dV, 2, // R+G
35*dV, 3, // G
37*dV, 4, // G+B
39*dV, 5, // B
41*dV, 6, // R + B
