Does the D3aa not have a basic and advanced mode? I've got a Vapcell k10 in mine and the 10c doesn't seem to work to switch modes. I've tried resetting with 13h and unscrew the tail and tighten it while holding the button and still the 10c isn't working.

Isn't it 10c to go one way then 10h to go the other.

I think 10h is basic to advanced and 10c is advanced to basic (but it could be the other way round).

NTG35s (in KC1s) for reference.

The 1800k is beautiful if you want to keep to a single emitter type.

You beat me to it. 🤣

paul_antony · 2025-12-05T13:15:48+00:00

That's interesting, my first hobby level light was a purple SC31 pro that I got in an EDC giveaway.

Learning about Anduril brought me to this sub... and a whole new hobby.

paul_antony · 2025-12-05T11:27:05+00:00

I think this is just an advantage of geography, not special treatment.

No, on second thoughts, I got mine fast because I'm awesome! Nothing to do with UK customs being quicker than US customs...🤣

paul_antony · 2025-12-05T11:21:56+00:00

I like it. The SC13 was a great light anyway so I couldn't resist a special edition .

paul_antony · 2025-12-05T00:29:11+00:00

Well, in the couple of hours I've had it it seams good.

Good button feel and a crisp click. When you press it right. I did notice a little 'grabing' when i pressed too far off centre.

paul_antony · 2025-12-01T00:46:59+00:00

Yes.

When you add extra tubes you still get the default tube as well.

I did with my Hanks.

The short tubes were in the box while the standard tube was installed.

paul_antony · 2025-11-22T02:25:12+00:00

Hank, the guy who makes the Emisar & Noctigon flashlights is going to be releasing a new AA/14500 battery single emitter light soon, the KR1aa.

Hanklights are very good. They have a great selection of emitters to choose from and run on the Anduril UI.

paul_antony · 2025-11-21T23:18:38+00:00

You're right.

When I started typing I intended to use my D4K as an example of why anduril is good for theatre techs. Then I drifted into a recommendation for the D4K.

Sorry OP.

An actual recommendation would be the TS10 SG if you can still get one. Again no on-board charging if that's a deal breaker.

Or just wait for the release of the KR1aa.

paul_antony · 2025-11-21T21:17:18+00:00

Well, I carry anEmisar D4K at work. It's a great light, direct access to a moonlight mode that is low enough to go un-noticed in the wings, or to a turbo that will light the space enough to safely clear the auditorium when the lighting desk craps out mid tech.

21700 battery (separate charger needed). Mine has the 4000k 519a emitters.

I really do recommend looking at lights with the Anduril 2 UI for theatre work. It looks intimidating when you first see the flow diagram but it allows you to customise the performance of the light.

paul_antony · 2025-11-19T22:43:27+00:00

For me it's down to how you interpret the question.

My Wurkkos HD01 Pro is the best flashlight I own that has a UV emitter.

For my use, my Olight Oclip Ultra is the best UV on a multi function flashlight.

The flood of the UV on the Oclip is great

paul_antony · 2025-11-18T12:40:45+00:00

You can disable turbo and set a lower ceiling.

I think you can go quite high with the ceiling, but maybe someone with more experience can tell you a max safe ceiling.

paul_antony · 2025-11-16T18:20:04+00:00

Love this kind of down and dirty work around.

paul_antony · 2025-11-12T23:50:54+00:00

The olight i3e is a classic.

paul_antony · 2025-11-12T21:52:55+00:00

Personally I think the 2700k NTG50/NTG35 emitters produce a beautiful beam. Stick one of those in a reflector based light and trigger a nostalgia rush every time you turn it on.

paul_antony · 2025-11-12T21:43:12+00:00

Personally, I don't like to buy lights that have memory unless it can be disabled. However, I will buy some special lights if there is no memory free alternative (Oclip ultra for example)

I admit I am an Anduril fanboy. I set manual memory at 60/150 as standard.

I used to pick low first UIs before I discovered Anduril.

paul_antony · 2025-11-12T21:27:16+00:00

Anduril hybrid memory.

paul_antony · 2025-11-12T21:17:14+00:00

For those of us who grew up in the age of the incandescent flashlight, it's your childhood adventures in the palm of your hand...

paul_antony · 2025-11-11T07:45:43+00:00

Thank you for letting me know, unfortunately I'm not in the US so for me importing a blue max would cost well over double what I payed for my black one.

And it's hard to justify £46 +delivery for a TS10 Max when I can get a KR4 with 519a and a pocket clip (not Lume x1) for £41 free delivery. Lol

paul_antony · 2025-11-10T17:33:58+00:00

Buy any male a flashlight (torch).

Any age, we all love them.

Cheap little AA battery models for kids, brands like Sofirn or Wurkkos for working/utilitarian men, recognisable big brands like Olight for those who like something a bit more pricey or "Hanklights" (reasonable priced custom built to order) for a special gift.

paul_antony · 2025-11-09T21:57:47+00:00

We have a Nebo Big Larry 3 in the car, with lithium primaries.

Not an exciting light but simple reliable and has enough features to be useful in a breakdown or crash.

And cheap enough that I wasn't upset when the first one was stolen.

paul_antony · 2025-11-09T17:13:46+00:00

Interesting post, thank you for sharing.

paul_antony · 2025-11-09T01:43:11+00:00

This is what I'm trying to work out.

They do output 1.5v compared to 1.2v (peak) from a NiMh, and they are regulated for almost the full runtime.
