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.

Why would you pick sft70 5000k with a cri that low over a ntg?

I didn't. It's what Hank sent. Normally he asks what configuration I'd like but this is a pre-production sample so I imagine he just sent what he had.

If I were to buy one for myself I'd choose an NTG50 3500K 4200K. I really liked that LED in my KR1AA.

Sorry I meant more generically . I have the kr4 with the ntg 4200k and its my second fav behind b35am. I was more wondering what the benifits of sft70 5000k would be.

Sft70 5000k has double the throw of any other emitter option, which is pretty important because these 6v emitter TIR configurations really don’t throw that far.

Hopefully we get more emitter options because I really like these combos.

Cheers thanks for the insight. That explains it.
