It could be a bad reflow, but it's common for one to be brighter at moonlight because of forward voltage tolerances

Interesting, I would never have guessed. Glad my TS10 doesn't show that even at level 1 brightness.
Experience like this is why this community rocks. Intrigued by Adair21’s answer, I read around the web to understand better - I didn’t realise there could be so much tolerance in LED forward voltages!
As a result, when in parallel/at the same drive voltage, different currents drawn = different relative brightness. Outside of independent resistors, you’d need to get lucky with matched emitter tolerances or just run above moonlight so that the difference is less noticeable.
Maybe it’s a reflection of the cost of the KD boards?
