Emisar D1 / D1S review

(reserved for tear-down, pics of internals)

Nice review! I just got my D1 yesterday. But I know I need a D4 but I don’t know to replace my UT02 with the D1S or not. I want to reduce my flashlight quantity and I became a big fan of side E-switch form with ramping firmware since my Q8 came to me :smiley:

Please make some outdoor beamshots with the D1 and D1S!

Sweet.
D1s specs super close to the u21/ut02.
Its best ui vs best design (26650, better look). Only my opinion.

Woo my persistence pays off thanks for the review

Great review, thanks!

Nice review!
I’m not really a fan of the looks of both the D1 and D1S, but further they are great flashlights!

Damnit, I need a D1. I already I have two throwers, which have a specific and infrequent purpose. I really don’t need this. But I need it.

Great review ToyKeeper, thanks! :smiley:

Best UI ?
Is a ramping UI the best for a thrower when you only using it in high or turbo modes ?

Thanks for the review! This light is begging for a lanyard attachment point.

Great review. If the lumens and throw aren’t that much different and the battery tubes aren’t compatible with the D1/D4 I probably won’t buy this light. Give us a bigger battery and at least twice the throw and I will jump on it!

Lumens are about the same. Lux goes from 40 to 124 kcd with the bigger head.

Thanks for another well-written review, TK! :+1:

I love the D4 and D1, and I’m chomping at the bit for a D1S.

Looking forward to your D7 review! :partying_face:

Thanks for the review, can we get some weights for the two torches?

Thanks for the review. The D1S looks like a C8 on steroids!

Do you use it in high and turbo only?
I do mostly on low-medium.
Anyway, I guess Emisar ramping is not perfect for you. You’d be better off with a ramping UI that starts high and goes up from there.

Thanks for the review!
I just sold my C8 and i would love to get D1S
Anyone knows when D1S hits the market?

Dubble click for turbo and ramp down if needed. Seems ok for your use.

Thanks for the review TK. Still in doubt if I need one.

I have not doubt that I need one gray D1S….D1 and D4 will be angry if I not bought his big friend…
I hope Hank list this soon in his store!!

I think a (+5 dollar) dedomed xpg2 option would sell well with the D1S.
