tldr; D4V2's bigger brother with 26800 battery. Hank's magic with better sustained output. X1 driver recommended.

ViewTop Criticism
+30 pts“It gets too hot, too fast for these Hank hotrods. I knew this going in but jeez, the copper head makes them even worse. 12 seconds is the max I can hold the D4K by the head. The D3AA steps down around the 20 sec mark which is around the time I start feeling the heat coming on. They’re definitely stylish and make a nice pair but that’s about it for me. There’s one thing I’ve noticed that annoys me more than the heat and that’s how unpleasant the threads are when unscrewing/screwing the tail cap. It even sounds bad . It’s as if the threads have a sand powder on them or something. Not a gritty sound or feel but a very dry experience if that makes sense. I guess that’s just how titanium threads are because my Convoy T4ti has the same attributes other than the heat issue. Ti looks nice but that’s about it as far as I’m concerned.”

Best praise vs top criticism for Convoy T3
Top Criticism
+39 pts“When leaving the park today, I reached in my pocket to grab my keys and noticed I didn't have my green T3 I was carrying. I dropped it in grass, and I spent a good 10 minutes looking for it before It got too dark. This is a custom light with the 5A driver and FFL351A 4000k rosy bin. Being in the US, I can't get another one of these (at least not within a reasonable price) so I really wanted to find it. I came back after dark with my D4V2, lit up the whole area on turbo, and found it immediately by the reflection in the reflector. Good thing I had another light otherwise I would have been out of luck!”
