Gimmick From the Future [Loop SK03]
Loop Gear has done something very creative here - in some aspects it's little more than a gimmick, in others it's genuinely innovative and exciting.

    Awesome! I gave this hobby up a couple years ago when I realized how ignorant I was, and will forever be about lithium ion cells. I got so scared about them and my flashlights I literally just gave everything away for free. In doing so I lost a lot more than just a single hobby... I quickly realized I couldnt live without the utility of illumination I'd come to rely like a 6th sense. So I bought my first AA light. (I had never cared about them when I had Lithium-Ion super powers lol) A Convoy T3 with a Nichia 219b that has been my only light for the past couple years. Pretty excited that now I can finally get a cool flashlight again. And an Emisar at that! They always scares me the most lol

    Thank you for getting me into the hobby! I’ve always liked flashlights but never seriously got into the hobby. Out of the blue UA-cam recommended me this video and you’ve got me hooked! Just received the D3AA in titanium and freaking love it. I cannot thank you enough, it is so awesome! (except for my bank account)

    Could you upload a video for all the novice and newbie, flashlight enthusiasts on owning a Hank light or any other lights that uses unprotected cells. all the different types of batteries, your recommendations on chargers and how to use them. I saw one post where the battery is 4.2 but you can’t charge it over 3.7 I and many other people. I’m assuming don’t know how to do that on a battery charger? i’ve seen don’t overcharge. Don’t run the battery completely dry cause it might explode. Seems like a lot to learn about owning a hank light. It would be great to have a video to show you what it actually entails from start to finish.tnx!

    They make this like in a 6500k and a 5000k version. Would you say the 6500k has a bluish tint and the 5000k is more "white"?

    • @LuxWad
      @LuxWad Місяць тому

      6500K is more "white", 5000K is more yellowish in comparison. I find 5000K to be more natural and pleasant, it's closer to daylight white

    i'm considering getting this, but it'd be my first light using 18650/18350. does it have LVP and/or a built in way to check the batteries? (don't really wanna carry around my multimeter to check manually!) if not, perhaps i should get protected cells, just in case. OR the dw4, since anduril won't kill my batteries. thoughts?

    • @LuxWad
      @LuxWad Місяць тому

      Yes it has LVP, the button indicator will also turn red when your voltage gets low.

    750 lumens for close to 10 mins is pretty impressive considering the amount of throw and size/max output of the light imo. I love Emisars and have a D4S, D4V2 & have a D4K I'm waiting to order but they can't maintain close to their max output for even 3 mins or less. Obviously they are much brighter and heat gets them but the throw for the size is impressive to me. The P02 seems like a better light with SS bezel, bigger battery. I just bought one on a whim cause it was $17.50 shipped. Seems like a fun light despite it's shortcomings and a steal for less than $20.

    Hey Lux (or anyone that can give me some advice) being very new to this side of the hobby, is it still worth getting the d4v2 or any other hank light that is currently on offer or should I wait for them to get them same changes that the d3aa has?

    • @LuxWad
      @LuxWad Місяць тому

      I don't know that a V3 is coming anytime soon, and while the new changes are nice, I would just recommend getting the V2 if you want it.

    Sorry to bother but I have few questions! Can you charge 2 different batteries at the same time? By that I mean, 2 batteries with different capacity, or 2 the same but different charge to get them at the same level...? I guess what I'm really asking is, if there are 2 batteries in the device do they charge separately, or do they have to both have same capacity and charge from the start?

    • @LuxWad
      @LuxWad Місяць тому

      Both batteries are chargd completely independently, you don't have to worry about mixing cell sizes or charge levels.
