The coloured d4's are probly more appealing to the ladies , I prefer black.

Seriously? In this day in age, with all of the worldwide communication and knowledge available, are there still people who think this way? I mean, really, to misspell "colored" is really shocking for me to see!
 
There are different accepted ways to spell some words- that's one of them. Regional and cultural differences and all.

See: Dan Quayle and the "potatoe" debacle...

Colour is actually the most common spelling around the world by far. It is only really the US who spells it "color". I am not really sure why?

I live in the UK , that's how we spell it , you can spell it how you please.
 
My apologies, tonge-in-cheek humor (humour) is evidently also a US-only concept. Let me be more direct: I was impugning the idea that only ladies like non-black gadgets, using the (obviously) British spelling as a proxy. I won't let it happen again.

I knew that , but I wasn't going to let on that I knew , ha ha.
 
I wasn't being sexist , it's just that my missus has an eye for blingy things.
It a shame she doesn't like torches , she think I'm nuts & she would be right ;-).

Read up on Budget Light Forum, Toykeeper designed the UI in part, and she has discussed it thoroughly in a D4 thread or two.
 
Thank you Tixx!

Been using index and and third finger to activate switch, with normal walking hand position, switch facing basically downward. Placed the shock cord lanyard
to accommodate this method. Very nice arrangement.
 
So I ordered a 20mm quad MCPCB and 4 of the XP-G3 R2 3000K 90+ CRI leds, and paid the small fee to have them reflow soldered by Mountain Electronics before shipping, then swapped them into my Cool white HI D4 on the kitchen table...
Now I love the light. I hadn't been able to enjoy the low levels of the cool white at all, but at 3000K the floody lows are fantastic. True to the prediction of the Kruithof curve, the high levels are yellow and glaring, and less "pleasing" than the cool white's high levels had been.
It also gets hot very quickly on high.
With that all said, it's just about what I'd hoped for and much more suitable for the majority of what i need a light like this for, say 10mA to 2A with scrolling brightness control.
Next to get another one in the 5000K Nichia high CRI flavor to compare brightness and rate of heating.

Would very much like to find out about that comparison.
 
Nice. Yes I would love to hear about that as well. I have the Nichia version and would be curious.
 
You can both be sure that I'll yack about it here.

Seems reasonable that whether Cree or Nichia, that any high CRI led would get hotter, faster, the lower it's predominant color temperature (K), the more it's range fell into infra red...
It's the phosphors, if I paint a lightbulb black it's going to get hotter, and hotter faster.
 
Perhaps to have one of each color offered? There was a time I thought like that until I realized I never ever chose a light because of it's color...only tint, CRI, Runtime & appropriate for the job at hand....
