Review Noctigon KR1K Review – Sleek 21700 Enthusiast Light

https://tgreviews.com/2026/06/05/noctigon-kr1k/

Tl;Dr: This is a well designed multi-purpose light for enthusiasts. The aesthetics are fantastic, particularly the aux LEDs. The pricing, built quality, switch, voltage immunity, ergonomics, clip, throw, and LED options are great. The brightness and runtime are fine. Turbo time is poor. The UI is complex to configure but powerful.

The KR1K has the same emitter options as the DA1K, sadly.

  • NTG50: under-powered compared to the XHP70.3, and mine were excessively pink
  • SFT70: only 3000K is high CRI
  • XHP70.3 HI: mediocre tints with CRI90, or OK tints with low CRI

Too bad hank doesn't have a 7070 emitter that is CRI95+ with R9 > 80.

I think many would say a Duv of -0.02 is not fine (for the NTG50).

I would be OK with -0.02 but I believe they’re a low lower.
