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

Typo my bad 5000k

its something I look at every month and cannot bring myself to commit to buying one. I have purchased two DW4’s for friends and family but have not yet added one to my own collection.

Yeah there no noticible colour shift and it’s crisp.

Yes send him the order number via email once placed and ask for a 5050mpcb and boost driver and he will ship accordingly.

An 18350 cell will, last about 2-3 hours depending on brightness and the driver you have, obviously a boost driver would last alot longer but with lower max output.

I would agree small cell size makes it less appealing to carry on a long night walking etc but I guess that comes down to knowing your situation. If I plan to be out for a long time I’m grabbing a D4SV2 or DM1.12 with 26800 tube or a dual 26650 light like the L6 or sp70

It’s a real issue @Nelson_uk has the same issue. You stand at your collection 60 seconds from needing to exit the door and can never pick one.

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

I agree I would suggest you contact hank and explain your concerns with your lights im sure he will do what he can to make it right

Here you go

Hanks water rating can and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

My dt8s screws on the bezel were not as tight as they should be and can come loose over time, ideally he should use some low tensile strength loctite and a slightly higher viscosity lube like super lube and ensure the screws are at a reasonable tension.

I do prefer the new screw on bezel for the switch. One of my D4V2s had a visible 1mm gap, fortunately I was able to pop it in the vise and sort it out but shouldn’t have shipped like that.

I personally would never submerge my hanklights in water.

I don’t think there is a need at this point Zak and Adair21 are awesome and don’t have any issues with hanks lights being posted.

However it may be worth a visit back to hanklights I hear there’s a new mod with a 3 character username who will be doing some really cool stuff in the coming hours and days 😉

It’s beautiful indeed it doesn’t get dark in the UK until really late at night, I’ll try to take one for you tonight. It certainly won’t be an Everyday carry as I’d neglect my other 51 flashlights but it will certainly go into rotation.

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)

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

If anyone’s interested I speak to, Rick from Wurkkos frequently he has approached their r&d team with some, suggestions. The seemed to like the idea of using similar aux LEDs hank uses so we may see a Ts10 with non auto rgb coming in the future.

I have also asked them to consider a Ts10Ti

Yep I’m ok with shipping within the UK.

If you want one drop me a DM we can discuss it further. I don’t charge for the work but obviously you would need to cover shipping costs

UK

I’m hesitant to make anymore the only one I have made and shipped to USA was lost in the mail.
