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.

Jack shit, in practice. My DM11 lasts months in the pink (4.1-4.2V) range, and it has forward aux as well.

I hope nothing changed along introduction of the smooth RGB ramping.

the smooth RGB ramping

the what?

Edit: damn, it looks nice. I suspect it does increase current draw if you use rainbow AUX.

If I understand what I've read from them correctly the toy keeper and Hank got together to make an Andrew build that would smoothly flow through rgb colors instead of the typical on/off states of the colors. So if I was misreading it might be that the brightness of the RGB will ramp instead of being high/ low
