This proprietary battery that Nitecore uses for all their latest generation tactical flashlights is the reason why I don’t buy or recommend them. It would have been easy to avoid these batteries.

Put your hand in front of a 120 W bulb. Does it get warm?

Question is: What do you want to achieve by using a black body radiator? It won’t give you any fancy colors, just a pretty smooth spectrum.

Seven levels of brightness for the white channel, two for R/G/B/UV. Only one color at a time. Next to the RGB disco mode there’s also a red SOS, a read beacon and a white strobe.

You can order the dual channel D4v2 with a deep red channel (660nm) and UV channel. ;)

Get it with the additional 18350 tube and optionally magnet in the tailcap. Costs more or less the same as the MiX-7, but only comes with two channels and has no internal charging. On the other hand it will have Anduril.

It will look like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hanklights/comments/16ans11/dual_channel_uv_d4kd4v2kr4/

Indeed, if you want RGB with more power than just aux LEDs, it might be a good choice (althout RGB has just two brightness levels). It’s also a great high CRI + UV candidate (alternatively you could consider a dual channel Emisar D4v2 with 519A and UV).

I don’t really like the input lag on the switch which is unusual for a “tactical” light

Which input lag do you mean? When it press the switch, my light turns on immediately.

Don’t compare the flashlights you’ll find here in c/flashlight with these cheap flashlights with fake lumen ratings. 😉

Huh? That never happened with any of my flashlights. Mechanical tail switches are pretty reliable.

It performs OK, a little hard to press completely, though. Momentary mode works great, but it requires some force to press the switch completely. Apart from that it is reliable and relatively pocket-safe.
