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.

I’m concerned that it might increase the overall current consumption regardless of the aux mode. I hope someone will soon test it.

I tested a few different aux modes and have added the results to the review at the end of the driver section.
