This is very interesting. It would really leave everything else in the dust.
I also hope for the V3 or newer interface, because I use the stepped ramp on throwers. The smooth ramp is great indoors, but outside I almost always use the stepped ramp instead.
I also would think it’d be cool to have a 21700 or 26650 option with the D1S. As it stands I think the 18650 tube looks awkwardly thin and out of place.
I”m interested in a LED, driver, and centering ring “upgrade” kit.
I really like my Emisars, but think the throw difference from the D1 to the D1S should be greater.
This would fix that!
Hey Hank, I really like how you jump on the latest greatest thrower LED. It can really make your products so much better than what you’ve shown is a good example.
But please let me join others with the question:
Is the driver going to be regulated?
Many of BLFers are savvy enough to use only weak cells with FET+white flate combo. But we’re an exception….you could artificially increase resistance in your host, but that would be a hack rather than a solution.
Thanks a lot for the info.
I wanted to do the same to mine.
GT Mini, D1…some good lights that turn out to have too poor reflectors for that LED.
And actually both have been my white flat candidates.
It may not be so simple….
That’s how thickly anodized undyed alu looks like:
That’s a different alloy and different thickness, but how thin would ano have to be to produce practically no colour change?
