we all live in our own illusion, buddy. Also, thanks for stopping by!
It is not lost on me that i probably seem a little out of control with all of these concurrent lights coming in. Just a unique situation is all, probably wont happen again. Or at least it shouldnt
For my part, i don’t feel in control . I have my 12th Hank’s on the way and i’m planning more . I’m afraid Hank will bring the D4V3 soon or that my E07X will urge me to expand that way . Hope i didn’t sound judgmental .
No you didn’t sound judgemental, but it struck my sense of “what the hell AM I doing?” A little, but that’s on me. Lol.
And it sounds like we are in very similar boats = ordered about a dozen Hank lights, have e07x’s on the way, nervous about Hank’s release of a new light we will want 6 versions of, and worried the arrival of the E07x will prompt us to want (who knows) how many more of those. I’ve literally had to stop myself from ordering two more e07x’s (because my E12r is so nice), and my e07x’s haven’t even shipped yet!
Control is a tricky thing. This hobby does not promote control, that is for sure.
I have two aluminum D4v2’s in my mailbox waiting for me now, both with lighted switches!
Some Reddit user posted that Hank put a lighted switch in a Aluminum D4v2 for him like 3 week ago, so I asked Hank and he said he would! Which is interesting because I had asked Hank before (months ago) and he said no, and many others apparently got the same response in month’s passed. So, if you have been wanting that setup send Hank an email!
Brother those Ti KR4s are gorgeous! I’m a believer.
I also have lighted D4V2 coming, blue in cyan and sand/amber.
Don’t second guess what brings you joy. You know if you tire of one, there’s probably someone here happy to buy it.
You have definitely upgraded your collection wisely.
Thank you, ZedLep! And your right, especially with these noctigon and Emisars, there’s always someone else out there wanting to enjoy it.
Right now I’m loving all of the new lights coming in. They all get pocket time, although I’ll say I find it hard carrying the cyan anything for Hank, as I would hate to scratch that sweet color lol.
Wow… that’s like NLO new light overload! I do the same thing, order a bunch at once. They are all really nice lights, I really like the Emissar & FF’s light yet don’t own any…yet. They really look like quality/attention to detail & emitter options are above the average. Gotta get the E07x & the E12r…they are smooth & purdy.
LOL, yea i feel we may get kicked off that thread.. ohwell.
I REALLY like the ROT66 gen2. the xpl-hi 4000k are the nicest bing out of the 7 or so lights i have with that emitter, makes me want to get them in my next e07x.
The rot66 is just so nicely made, and so smll and bright, its a classic light, like you were telling me before i got mine in lol.
If you want one of those 18650 titanium nctgion KR4 tubes let me know, i have one extra im not using. I could let it go for a discount (has some Lite carry scratches on it, nothing bad). Hank was charging me a pretty penny for them. If your interested in mine i can discuss price
Thanks! and your right! it has been ike overload! ive been purposely rotating how i use them to try them all out. I already sold the cyan kr4 in this thread and bought a new cyan kr4 with xpl-hi 4000k instead. Everything else i have kept and really enjoy!
Definitely try out FireFlies and emissar / noctigon. They are both great and you wouldnt be dissapointed. 75% of my collection used to be astrolux, and i still really like astrlux, but now id say 10% is astrolux and 70% noctigon/emisar/fireflies. Those 3 are just a different experience.
I would like one but I guess if it’s pretty pricey it may be better to just throw down on the Nov-Mu 2000k I’ve been eyeing. How much is Hank asking for just the tube?
So excited, my sbt90.2 on 20mm mcpcb arrived today (with other stuff) from Simon! I already have it crammed in the above gt mini pro! Took out the osram CULPM1 I had in there and got the sbt90.2 in there. Haven't reamed the reflector yet, it's not too centered, but I was so excited I just wanted to get it in tonight to check it out. I'm going to upload a couple pics in the morning from the initial test, then I will ream out the reflector and get it set up properly.
Also the CULPM1 looked pretty good considering my gt mini Has the OP reflector. Also the wall shots so far of the sbt90.2 look really good too with the OP reflector, which I was worried about.
