Nice shots…

come on Emisar when’s that D1S coming out!

Yea……….and at what price?

I have a question. I notice my D1 flashes once when you reach minimum or maximum brightness while ramping. But it also flashes once at about half brightness while ramping. Is this normal?

As the ramp is fast (2.5s to max) it sounds like the 350ma setting your going past. May just seem in the middle of the ramp…….of course I may be wrong!

Yes mine blinks at min and at max , also the 350ma level which is also the level when locked out, lock in and blinks twice. You get a pre set 350ma level like the D4 if makes sense.

I was just wanted to make sure the middle blink wasn’t a driver glitch.

It’s normal Glenn. Don’t worry, it’s not an Imalent! 8) This is top notch quality!:slight_smile:

And soooooooo much fun!!! :smiley: I don’t know how I’m ever supposed to enjoy a light without ramping driver again… can’t stop going up and down, up and down, and up, and down again (ad nauseam) each time I walk my dog at night. Somehow it makes me feel like I’m at least 30 years younger again! :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s everything about the Emisar that simply puts a smile on your face. It’s the secure click of the button, the overall machining and finish, the smooth threads, the clean appearance of the spring section of the tailcap, the crisp lettering on the back and font and layout. Seriously, just check out the back of the Emisar for the lettering and experience how much effort has gone into it. Can’t wait to receive the “grainy” cyan and green versions. :partying_face:
For the record - and I’ve said this before - I’m not into ramping, and I’m not into FET drives. And yet I consider the Emisar perfection. :smiley: :beer:

Thanks guys. Checked it out last night. Very impressive throw for such a small flashlight. It’s Glenn approved!

I know this may be a silly comparison, but has anyone tested the Emisar D1 (XPL-HI) against a Jaxman M8 (XPL-HI)?

I own a M8 modded with fet driver , let me measure it;s output later today , and i’ll report back .

Thanks :wink: It is more of curiosity, as I have the Jaxman M8 under sight for so long, but not the Emisar D1 comes and makes things complicated :smiley: :person_facepalming: Despite being different lights in terms of functioning, of course!
Thanks!

Does anyone else have the pronounced yellow dot in the hotspot that is somewhat common for XP-L HI emitters?

Glen I gather that you appreciating a flashlight is high praise indeed! I have been thoroughly impressed with each of Hank’s emisar branded lights. I have 5 D4s (all different emitter options) and a single D1 (so far!)

Joey, I’m thoroughly enjoying the D1 more and more as I use it. I love it so much, I plan on buying a D4 and a D1S when it comes out.

I notice it only on a white wall at around 10 feet. In real use, it’s not noticeable at all. BTW, It’s not a dot from what I’m seeing. I’d call it the center of the hot spot. It’s minor and not a big deal IMO.

I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the D1s ever since Hank slipped a picture of him holding one into another thread. Anyone know when?

Can anyone suggest a holster/belt pouch that is readily available, forthis light.
