Emisar D1 / D1S review

[RollerBoySE]

Great review, thanks!

[djozz]

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!

@totobel

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

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?

[stephenk]

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.

[Trevi_lux]

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!!

[Geuzzz]

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

You are probably talking about your D1 that is a flashlight with throw, not a thrower for me.
Was talking about the D1S with ramping UI.
I don’t see the point of using a pure thrower in low mode, except if you have only 1 flashlight, because for close range there is better type of flashlights, generally speaking.

[totobel]

Hou are probably right.
But then whats the advantage of the D1s, there is nothing left.
We should ask this guy yo compare them, he did quite some job here

MONSTER Thrower - uTorch UT02

No, I am talking about all throwers that I owned. MT02, B158B, UT02, D1. They are all very suitable for walking. Though not for close work.
Though I get your point, at some intensity levels the hotpoint will overwhelm the spill so much that the latter will be useless.
Still, if a medium level throws far enough, a stronger one is counterproductive as it only destroys your night vision. When using a thrower to actually throw I also rarely use high modes.
