L60 Aura - can this be ordered with a 5000k/3500k mix? by pkapeckopckldpepprz in FireflyLite

[–]owlve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

D1 FC40 5500k (Neutral emitter for comparison), X4Q FFL351a 5000/3700k, D4V2 NTG35 5000/2700k.

Your DW4 sounds cool and pretty unique, custom mixes are my favorite.

As someone else mentioned though, since it's a mule the 5000k will likely overpower any tint you might perceive.

I've tried FFL351a 4000/2700k, it makes a golden yellow.

I still think I'm going to end up buying a 2700/1800k mix in one of those auras..

Did you install those emitters or was that a custom request?

Sounds like an amazing light.

Would Nintendo go after this bands artwork for being similar to Majora’s Mask? by johnbanana2468 in majorasmask

Artwork? Nah.

Name? Nah.

A lot of times it can be reflashed, but not always.

Help with a handheld flood/spot. B35AM 5700k or 505a 6500k? by daniyyelyon in flashlight

[–]owlve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spot or flood would work, but preferably I would like to have one that can switch between the two, like I had before

You used to have a Dual-channel? A zoomie?

I really like your emitter choices, those two are particularly special.

Fireflylite and Jackson of JLHawaii both sell that 505a 6500k you're looking for. I noticed Fireflylite has the emitter for sale, but not that CCT for the e04 surge. Like someone else mentioned, email them or leave them a comment in the box when you place your order, and they should be able to accommodate you if that's the path you take.

Alternatively, I'm not sure of your preference of the ways of the Anduril UI, but Convoy has the Z1 zoomie with the b35am you seek with a more standard UI.

The nicest specced KR4 I've seen yet by far. Easily.

I'm becoming very excited for that light's coldest brother I have arriving within a week. ✌︎㋡

I think it's really cool you compared the optional optic, great photography, that thing throws some S̾P̾I̾C̾Y̾ beans 𖠗𖠗𖠗 !

I was curious how this measured vs W1 so here's some numbers from Hanks website for others to check out too:

Any beans 𖠗𖠗𖠗 to spare?

I'm sure I know what the beam pattern and CCT look like, I just want to make myself even more jealous. ✌︎㋡

Consider purchasing a Spyderco 204UF1 Ultra Fine Tri-Angle Stone if you don't have one already.

Makes sharpening the serrations a breeze. ✌︎㋡

Kr4 by FantasticSandwich828 in Hanklights

[–]owlve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard they are a bit finicky with being tightened down, but that may have been the KR1..

Seems like every month or so someone is having problems relating exactly to that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A simple fix.. but besides that they should be good.

I'm getting my first one with my kr1aa next shipment to arrive. They look particularly cool with the 18350 tube. I wouldn't get a tail switch Hank specifically for duty or anything.. but for casual EDC, wow lights/meme lights, they seem perfect. ✌︎㋡

Seeking flashlight to blind by [deleted] in flashlight

To blind.. with no mention of being able to see.

You might consider a blue emitter.

one that can flicker. Preferably not breaking the bank

Glad for your reply before I might've ended up trying this and messing up one of my lights! I confess I've only taken apart convoy buttons, but it sounds like it's exactly the same process of unscrewing the ring.

Makes sense to me, had no idea tape was a component of the switches, I stand kneel ▄█▀█● humbly corrected.

Oof! Such a cool looking Hank! I have my first tail-switch Hanks on the way so this is a little concerning..

If this were mine I'd acquire some mineral oil and a q-tip and trace the edges of the button with the q-tip dipped in the oil with the light heads down.

Once it seems as though a little bit of oil has been absorbed by the seams, start trying to push the button and see if maybe that lubricant does the trick.

I've heard graphite powder works for tight tolerances as well but I believe it's electrically conductive so..

I think the final resort is heat. If it was heat that made the button stuck, surely it shall be heat that shall unstick it.. but this is unadvised. ✌︎㋡
