I really like the looks of the new clip, it makes the KR4 look very handsome. But I must admit that I do not clip my EDC’s very often, so what I like is not biased much by awareness of usability.
Guys, i think removal of clip is not an issue here won’t you say?
Bigger problem is the clip people like to stay there. Look is not the biggest nr.1 here as much is how deep it can go into pocket. Slim is essential, deep carry.
if you don’t want it, remove it.
Yes, I think the lanyard ring is more useful than the clip.
The pocket clip and lanyard ring are both included in the price, you can easily change them if you like.
Wonder if this means there’s a V2 in the works? I don’t have a D18 yet, have been wanting one but can’t do it now due to all the other recent light purchases
Blow up the top picture. To me it looks like the ring/clip is friction retained by an o-ring in a o-ring groove… the tail cap contact should be a non issue with or with out ring/clip, the threads on both cap and battery tube are anodized and contact can only be made off the back of the battery tube directly to the switch pcb retaining ring.
What can we know about the driver? Is it the same design as the K1? 5A constant current, but is it PWM-less up to 5 amps? Is it not using 7135's at all? Maybe that's why it's able to stay much cooler than a D4?
AND ordered ! loved the lights from the emisar family and my Noctigon K1’s lonely being by itself so the KR4 is a nice addition to the collection ! Been EDCing my d4v2 but its gonna be replaced soon enough…. =P
