So what is new with the Emisar D7?

What is the scuttlebutt?

any stealth photos?

Sounds interesting

3x 18650 with 7 emitters from what I’ve read. Basically a smaller Meteor M43 with about the same output (if a FET is used). Should be great. Pricewise I am just guessing but I think around 60 USD compensating for added cost of leds and materials. (+24 if there is an XP-L Hi version).

I was hoping for a 26650 version for portability. But regardless, I will definitely buy as Emisar flashlights are always amazing!

Is the D7 the same as the new noctigon announced way back? 250+ kcd and 15k+ lumens?

I hope for 20700 cell support and boost driver instead of FET, since it no longer offers any advantage except for triple and quad parallel builds.

Wow, if it’s anywhere near that performance level and price point it sounds like it’ll be a runaway hit.

I’ve been interested in this light too. Not much has been released about it though.

2018 bump!

The D7 is canceled, we are working on some other projects.
Thanks for the concern.

That’s a bummer. I was watching for this one closely.

Oh no, that’s not true, is it?

I’d really be happy to see a D1S that took 21700 cells! Or maybe 26650 with spacer to use 21700 cells if desired.

“other projects” is promising!

Probably just making more Ti versions of their lights!

Well, if you still want a D7 you can always look at the YLP Gryphon reviewed by Maukka
Pretty similar design, no ramping UI though.

From what I’ve heard, there were issues getting the driver hardware to work as desired. I don’t really know the details though. I tried an early proof of concept and it didn’t perform well, and then I didn’t hear anything for a long time until he said it was cancelled.

Oh no… This is some major bad news…

Very disappointing but I guess it would just be a DQG Tiny III with a few seconds of crazy high turbo. Has anyone modded a DQG Tiny III to turn it into a pocket rocket?

I’m bummed. In my imagination I was hoping for a mini Meteor at a more justifiable price point.

I’m gonna look into that YLP Gryphon. Looks cool!

The Emisar D7 is the most famous light that never existed…
