I actually have a D18 with an even mix of 2700 and 4000kās that makes a beautiful soft yellow beam (approx 3300K). Iām tempted to get one with the 8D and a second with the 5D but that would be rather decadent
What do you guys think? Which would be a better one to get?
I have a K9.3 with the ā XP-L HI V2 5D 4.000Kā and I love the tint. I wonder which would be more powerful - that or the 8D
5d is more powerful based on tests I've seen by members. The 5d I've been getting from Hank in my last couple lights have not been as rosy as the ones I've gotten months ago.. I don't know why or how that happens if they are all 5D? Is that possible?. I do a side by side woth two kr4 5D lights and they look completely different.
I see you have the lanyard ring on the short tube. How do you get the light to work? I had to add a piece of wire bent in a circle for a spacer. Then when I switch in the long tube the tail cap canāt screw down far enough to keep the ring from spinning. Crazy design!!!
the titanium kr4 and the kr1 both have availability to use pocket clip with 18350 tube. The aluminum KR4 cannot muse pocket clip and 18350 tube because of how the battery tube is machined. I know this is true because recently I ordered kr1 18350 battery tubes for my KR4 and I was able to use pocket clip / lanyard ring. I personally feel it was an oversight on the KR4 because that came out first and Hank made the change for the kr1 that came out later on last year. I don't know if that's why though.
but I am saying if you want to use the lanyard ring with the aluminum KR4, just message Hank to buy a aluminum kr1 18350 battery tube. Or Illumn.com sells them for $5 if your in the us, you'll have it in a week.
