Do any of them take a while to get hot? I have a D4K with 5700K dd 519as and boost driver, and anything over medium brightness makes the flashlight hot quick, and high is hot in like 5 seconds.

The beam is beautiful and all but I find myself reaching for the Zebras 9/10 times because they take longer to get hot.

D4SV2 has alot of thermal mass and doesn't get hot as quickly as most of hanks lights. K1 is also fairly good at dissipating heat

Awesome collection! What emitters in the DT8s and the D4S? I still need to add those models to my collection and I can't decide how to option them

But th my D4V2's have xpl hi. Ones 6500k the others 5000k (I prefer the 5000k one)

DT8 cyan has a mix of w1s and nichia 519a 2000k Second is an xplhi v5 which belonged to Fruityfrog (rip)

This is the way! You have 2 k1s i think that's my favorite Hank so far. What emitters are you rocking?

[–] D45@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sbt90.2 4000k and a sft70 6500k with boost driver

[–] MasterNate@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice, I have the sbt90.2 also, I love it. I want to get another k1, not sure what emitter tho, maybe w2 or sft 40.

If your capable of flowing your own emitters the sft70 and boost driver combo works well. Visually it's slightly weaker than the sbt90.2 but will run for hours

Oh sweet, I'll look into that. Did you order it as a gt-fc40 to get the boost driver?
