Emisar D1 / D1S review

Same light(& a D4), same color, same date, same update(not yet)

If you you stand the D1S with the head down it looks not so od.

And a yellow D4 must look like a minion.

Received my D1s and 2 Aspire 18350 battery’s from Neil today, 12 days to Australia and very well packed.

Beat ya! My D1S just arrived from Neal in 11 days!

I think the slight aesthetic oddity of the D1S is mostly the short length of the host relative to its head diameter.

For those who received their D1S in the US already, did your tracking give updates? Mine hasn’t updated since the first processed through notification.

Ordered mine from Intl Outdoors on the 15th in Aus, hoping for a tracking number as parcel theft is a major issue around my area.

Havenot been this exited for a light in a while, should be good after my Klarus shat the bed.

$88 Aud plus cost of cells in this country, still cheaper than some of my others for the output.

Mine got stolen together with one 18350 :frowning:
Says DELIVERED at/in mailbox but it wasnt there when i came from work

Yeah but mine had to go 65km further.

Has anyone measured its throw distance yet?

edit: 703m according to TK.

I have a D4 XPL HI 1A and a XPL HI 3A on the way here… debating if I want a D1 or not… Can someone post a few good outdoor beamshots of D1?

Here are some outdoor beam shots from the D1S including a comparison shot from the Convoy L6. Very impressive:

Hah, the money shot is at the bottom… Emisar D1S on the left, Convoy L6 on the right:

Both are a long way from the “Giggles” thrower, but it’s pretty good for something which can fit in a coat pocket.

A whole extra day from Brisbane to Bribie! :wink:

Haven’t had too much time to play with the D1S, but I’m very impressed with the heat handling. Hotspot is around double the brightness of my Convoy C8. Will post a mini-review when I get the time.

Wow, those beam shots remind me of the difference between my Olight M3XS-UT and my L6. It will be interesting to compare the D1s to the Olight when it arrives.

I am really eager to see a full runtime for the D1S.

D1s is nice, but the Olight will blast it away. About 100kcd between them.

Geuzzz

Well at 4X the price it should, but… it will be fun to compare. :sunglasses:

Not the same category at all though…

Pretty much, yes. A lesser rated battery will result in less output, though it’s a bit more complex than that.

XP-G2 does not have a lower vF than XP-L HI.

Battery protection directly affects current to the point it can trip over-current protection, varies on how it was manufactured/designed.

Do protected cells even fit in these flashlights?
