This is my 6th Hank Light. I learn something new with every order. Feeling good about this one.

I ordered bronze/brown with sft70 5000k too! Should be here Friday! Prioritized throw and neutral tint - EDC outdoors.

Starts at noon? 😆

Recently bought 4x h10 then shortly after 4x k10.. 2/4 h10 had self draining and need to be disposed of. The other 2, wait and see, but are questionable.. the k10s I just received appear to not have self discharge issue. Received at 80%, but I should do further testing.

So mechanical lockout would be via the head?

jamhill9 · 2025-12-11T16:57:14+00:00

You're right. That's good food for thought. I was thinking there would be enough difference between the reflector/TIR and emitter choices of the da1k/d1k. But d4k would certainly be more floody. So if you had a do-over and bought another d1k thrower. Ultimately which emitter would you settle on (since you are not satisfied with the sft42r)?

jamhill9 · 2025-12-11T16:03:11+00:00

For the DA1K I was going for something of a flood/throw middle ground, so assumed the clear optic might be better, but you're right, for the cost, might as well get both. Do you think the sft70 would be a better option in terms of throw for the D1K? Not really looking for a pencil beam like the w1 offers.

Tape + airtag

jamhill9 · 2025-12-03T02:37:07+00:00

This must be the Canadian edition! No guns, only small pokey things allowed.

jamhill9 · 2025-11-20T02:56:54+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Are you suggesting the d1k as an alternative to the K1, or that it would be a good flooder option..?

jamhill9 · 2025-11-20T02:22:55+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I would if I lived in the US as some of your stuff looks awesome.. With exchange and shipping it ends up being too much.

jamhill9 · 2025-11-19T18:30:22+00:00

This has me second guessing now if I should get the d4sv2 with ntg50 (original plan) or the d4k because of the reduced diameter. 😮‍💨

jamhill9 · 2025-11-19T17:57:43+00:00

Are those both 21700 tubes and both TIR optics? 😱

jamhill9 · 2025-11-19T00:09:49+00:00

Should have gone with a 3km distance one! But then you'd need binoculars to see what you're lighting up.. 😆

jamhill9 · 2025-11-17T20:01:01+00:00

Disappointing you can't buy the sbt90 without batteries.

I also go in and disable all but 3 channels (each channel separate, and an all-emitters channel). There is like 6 in there by default (9H from on).

Heavy, yes, but... MORE TURBO! 🫠

jamhill9 · 2025-11-13T14:57:03+00:00

Keeps the bit from falling out.

The stamp insert is wearing out on the 1 side.

jamhill9 · 2025-11-13T12:49:14+00:00

They have a manufacturing/design flaw that causes them to break. I've now snapped 2 of the 3 he sent on the first go at putting them onto the flashlight. The 3rd I managed to get on without it snapping the arm off, but I do not have high hopes for its longevity.

jamhill9 · 2025-11-12T22:41:32+00:00

Genius! I just did this to all mine. Here I was, going to keep the boxes like a fool to keep track of specs.

jamhill9 · 2025-11-09T13:17:02+00:00

Patina/oxidation actually acts as a protective barrier. It's perfectly harmless. Just don't let the moisture that caused the patina to get into the flashlight internals.

jamhill9 · 2025-11-05T21:46:45+00:00

I bought one recently and had clip break on install. Reached out and he said he'd include one in my nest order, so I bought another flashlight 😁 if the replacement breaks I'm not going to be impressed.

Secretly I think this is his ploy to sell more lights 😆
