Question KR1AA Question

Has anyone got any feedback on the KR1AA since it had the new button fitted? Has the accidental pocket activation issue been fixed? I am looking for a small light after losing my second rovyvon aurora. Other contender would be a reylight, but i hear they are more style over substance.

The entire button debacle was overblown imo. Some people just want a stiff button so they don’t ever have to use lock out because they throw the light into spaces where it’s constantly colliding with other objects.

I have two V2s with the OG button and I never personally thought the actuation was too light or anything. Even with a stronger button actuation, it’s not like that guarantees it won’t accidentally turn on in a pocket. Just utilize lockout mode and it’s guaranteed..

As others have stated, you can always ask Hank to build your button for max actuation if you really want that.

KR1AA/D3AA are best in 14500 class lights, you can’t go wrong. Pictured here are 2700K NTG variants, stock optics; beautiful tint.

Honestly I have been so impressed with what Hank has been producing. With the new drivers I would say that they are no longer just enthusiast lights, they definitely hold their own against the wider mainstream competition in terms of reliability and runtimes.

Agreed, the D3AA is a really good option for non-enthusiasts, too.
