My new D4 with SST20s, 4000K, arrived today, ordered on May 16.
I asked Hank to flash it with Anduril... check! The version on mine does not have muggle mode.
I've been using a Sofirn SP32A clip, additionally secured with a hose washer, on my other D4 and even clipped to a cap, it holds strong and won't fall easily. Just to keep it in the family, I ordered Hanks latest clip offering and I haven't noticed anything negative about it. Good clip.
And as a BONUS!, I received an LG HG2 inside the light. I think he must have been testing this custom build with it but Thank You! nonetheless.
With the UI of this light, I could almost forget my other lights! For trips, it's certainly my default side-light cannon. I only 'need' a thrower and standard tube light (S2+, SP32A, etc.) to round out the potential niches.
Someone created a listing on eBay for a new “Gen 2” Emisar D4. Oddly enough, it asks buyers not to purchase it, and it says that it will be available in a week.
black/gray/sand
aux leds
polished stainless steel head (optional)
magnetic tail cap (optional)
There are some photos, and the flashlight looks great. It doesn’t look like this was posted anywhere else yet, so it is possibly (likely?) fake.
EDIT:
Photos look very similar to others Hank uses for D4/D4S. It might not be fake, more likely someone decided to leak it before Hank officially announced it.
I have seen several overpriced D4s on ebay, although I have not paid close attention to the colors. Gen2 = Anduril maybe? Or more likely he’s adding Lexel’ aux light board, a magnetic tailcap, and quadrupling the price.
It does not look like fake, the changes that you see make too much sense: nice knurling on the 18650 tube and the 18500 tube, finally a cool SS bezel, aux leds, and most important: a promising-looking recessed switch.
I would like to purchase a D4 with aux LEDs, and a D4S …… and then my collection will be complete, no more buying! And also that custom lantern GB, and ……
Well that explains why even MTN has their D4s on “sale” and just about everyone is out of stock.
Figures I finally jumped into 2 D4s with Anduril right before this happens….
Stainless bezel is definitely nice for the EDC durability crowd, and the new Aux board looks great. That also explains the somewhat recent host changes with the slightly larger hole in the MCPCB shelf.
I hope the new improved D4 model hits the market soon. It looks like Emisar really listened to the feedback and have addressed pretty much all concerns:
Complaints about lack of knurling - fixed on new model.
Complaints about aluminum bezel being too fragile and breaking when dropped - fixed on new model with optional SS bezel.
Complaints about lack of Bezel aux leds - fixed on new model.
Complaints about protruding switch button - hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like the switch is recessed on updated model.
UI - based on that last run of D4s I expect Anduril UI to be optional.
