I ordered mine a couple days after you. I am figuring by the end of the week or early next week for me, that is if 12 days is a somewhat accurate estimate of time. Let us know when yours arrives.
Hopefully 
I ordered two lenses from Hank as I don’t know exactly how the original broke and don’t want to be stuck in the same situation again. Lenses arrived a few days ago, very nicely wrapped in bubble wrap. Quality appears to be exactly the same as the original.
Happy to have the D4 back to full health!
:+1: :+1:
Mine is a week behind yours, so now I have a (hopeful) idea it will come late next week. Thanks for the feedback!!
Your going to be amazed!! I’m using Sony VTC6 batteries and it’s a TORCH!
Sure is.
Stupid me turned it off in high mode and leaned up against it when it was in my jeans pocket, burnt a hole straight through the pocket of the jeans and left a mark on the denim.
Use the lockout!!!
I have Samsung 30Q and Vapcell 10A 1100mAh awaiting. Mine is coming with the 18350 tube also, I expect if I carry the D4 it would be in the short configuration.
Definitely will be using lockout, probably twisting the tailcap to be sure.
Dang!! Lockout—CHECK!
There’s a reason I made lockout easier to access on mine.
Specifically, four clicks instead of six, and the confirmation blinks are about as fast as a camera flash. And to avoid the need to unlock it for quick little tasks, I made lockout also function as a momentary moon mode.
I’ve tried to send firmware upgrades to Hank, but he doesn’t like my UI changes. It would be nice to at least swap lockout (6 clicks) and tactical mode though (4 clicks), since lockout is pretty much necessary on this light, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually used tactical mode.
That would be my prefered UI for sure. Access to moon when locked out sounds great. Doubt I will use tactical either.
After using the D4 Ti for some time now, I can say that this is definitely the nicest D4 I have. Unlike with the standard D4 I’m just not worried about scratching the light. I used to put the aluminium D4 in a holster when putting it in my coat or bag, but not with the Ti. It’s just awesome, and I personally have no problem with the added weight. Too bad the leds are not symmetrically aligned, but ah well… Definitely one super light the D4 Ti is. :sunglasses:
I think you have it right. Maybe it you were a cop or did security tactical would make sense. It would be nice if your update was offered as an option but I don’t know how that affect the price.
New firmware costs nothing, since it’s open-source, but I definitely wouldn’t complain about getting paid for it.
Work is work
Even mode memory off, always start in moonlight might be a cool toggle option for a hotrod like this
Since my D4 lights are used as EDC all day, I gave the lockout function some thoughts. Like Toykeeper I wanted a faster lockout, especially fast deactivation of lockout was important for me. So I designed a two level lockout.
1st level lockout:
Get’s activated by 4 short clicks - and deactivated by any operation with at least 2 clicks, for instance:
- 2 short clicks switch the light on with last used level
- short click + click and hold: momentary on with last used level,
- 3 short clicks: tactical strobe with highest level,
- and so on, all multiclick operations are usable form 1st level lockout just as in “normal” mode (with the only exceptions “turbo” and “momentary turbo”, since their click combinations are used for “on” and “momentary” during 1st level lockout). Single clicks don’t do anything.
2nd level lockout:
Get’s activated by another 4 short clicks when in 1st level lockout. This is the more secure lockout option and can only be deactivated by another 4 short clicks.
Thanks to the the indicator LEDs in my D4 lights I always know the state of my lights:
- constantly burning indicator LED: normal off mode, no lockout.
- flashing every 4 seconds: 1st level lockout.
- off: 2nd level lockout.
I use 1st level lockout most of the time, and 2nd level lockout when the light is transported in bags or so and at night in my bedroom (don’t like flashing LEDs there).
Btw: My firmware additionally has a “auto lockout” option, which automatically activates 1st level lockout when the light is switched off. But this turned out somewhat confusing, so I don’t use this option anymore.
Funny, but I didn’t get a tracking number so I don’t know where my lights are. Hank says on his site he provides a tracking number on orders over $80, I bought the Ti D4 AND another D1s for some $116 AND I paid the $2 for tracking… still no tracking number and my package is in the wild anonymously… oh well. I tried.
He sent an email that they shipped on the 9th, so perhaps this coming week? We’ll see….
Dwg064 said his shipped on the 28th, and he got his yesterday. Don’t hold your breath for this coming week. Mine shipped on the 3rd or 4th and is still in route, I am guessing maybe Friday, more likely the following week.
Oh, I know… I’m so forgetful it’ll probably slip my mind and when it shows up I won’t have a clue what it is.
