It’s also very heavy. With a Sony VTC5A cell installed, the light weighs 220g. Compare that to 167g for the Ti-Cu and around 115g for aluminum. It’s still ok for pocket EDC, but only if you have pants with durable pockets.
Just the brass 18650 tube and no-magnet tailcap alone weigh in at 105g! … nearly the weight of an aluminum D4V2 with cell.
The brass body tube and and tailcap are fully legoable with the aluminum D4V2. It actually looks pretty good with the brass head combined with the sand-color aluminum body tube and tailcap. That combo with cell weighs 149g.
Hi, shocked too . Got my first grey d4v2 on the 7th, ordered a brass one on the 9th and now on the 15th, removed from sale ? By the way, i’m testing my first comment .
Hank must have got a hold of a good batch of SST-20s recently. I just got my D4V2 Ti in sst-20 4000k today and the tint looks identical to my FW3C and FW3A with the FA3 bin SST-20 4000k. It’s noticeably less green than my D18 and D4S with sst-20 that I bought some months ago and it’s slightly rosy on turbo. I’m very pleased.
Hank, is there any old stock of the D1 lying around that’s still available for purchase outside of the store? Was going to buy one last week but had to wait, so I missed out here. Will send an email if that works better for you.
I have a question Hank. Why dont you do flashlights with USB charging? I know that ports make them a little bit worse looking plus there is also water resistance factor, but why did you decide not to imement it and will you do flashlights with usb charging in the future? Maybe not usb, but some of those magnetic clip on chargers olight has, or something similar.
magnetic charging is imo alot better then usb charging, and light still can have ipx8 rating… i hate those rubber flaps its not very good really seal the light from dust and water…
