I ordered this flashlight from Hank and got it in record time (12 days) very pleased with the build quality. I ordered my batteries from someone sees and they are at least 14 days away…Any other recommendations on 26650 batt? I ordered the Liitokala 5000mah 50A. I was looking at some keep power 5200/15A, will these be sufficient? I will order these in a 24h in home service because I want to play with this light and don’t want to wait 14 days till the Liitokala’s arrive……Any other recommendations? What would the minimum maH be and the minimum Amperage?
Where were you able to find Shocklis in Europe? I’ve been looking around forever, to no avail. Nkon doesn’t have them.
According to HKJ’s tests 5500 Shockli are hugely better than the much praised cyan liitokalas. Much higher capacity and higher current too.
In another thread, one of the gurus said the D4S XP-L Hi draws 13 amps on turbo. So I just use a Shockli 5500 battery and it seems to do fine -even though I abuse turbo regularly. The cell under the wrap is the PLB-55A and it was in other brands like Keepower and Vapcell. Someone said PLB stopped making that cell. But any high capacity battery rated for 15 or 20 amps will be fine and will provide a longer runtime than a high drain cell.
the best is using as high capacity as possible… im using in my d4s efest 4500mah high drain because at the time there wasnt any other batteries with similar capacity, if i was to buy today extra i would get some keeppower 5000mah or similar.
They say they’re 6 amp discharge current. Since shipping was like the price of a battery I ordered 3 of them. I don’t have any other 26350 lights but I’m sure i will at some point (:
I need to get a box to organize all my batteries. What do you guys use?
I ordered 2 supposedly 10amp 26350s from Mountain Electronics a while back for my E10. Obviously the E10 doesn’t pull 10 amps so I don’t know if they a really are, but that’s another option.
Hi, I have both D4s and D4sV2 with the same leds, XP-L HD V6 3D, but the ones in the D4sV2 are colder, like 6000K maybe? Can this be a variation over tints in same leds or may I have a different led version?
In the boxes both of them state the same leds.
D4s left, D4sV2 right, both with fresly charged Vapcell 26650s.
Looks like the same CCT to me but the D4Sv2 has a much nicer tint. Greener tints can tend to have the effect of appearing as a lower CCT than they are.
Tint is kind of a lottery as to what you get, and it looks like you got a good one with your D4Sv2.
I also have a D4S XPL-Hi 5000k and D4Sv2 with XPL-Hi 5000k. But in my case, the D4S XPL-Hi 5000k seems to look a bit “nicer” to me than the D4Sv2 XPL-Hi 5000k.
Likely CCT.
In your case, I like the tint of your D4Sv2 better since your D4Sv1 has a bit more “greenish” hue.
You guys have me wanting to buy a “warmer” D4SV2. I got the 6500K and I’m just dipping my toe in the “warmer temperature” flashlight water. Hank is my favorite seller and I have a 2000K Noctigon KR4 coming
Jealous, I only have one light that is warm, the 4000k sst20 fw3a. It’s a beautiful tint and also the first real light I bought (6 months ago), now I want the 2000k kr4. My 5000k kr4 is my most used light out of my 20 or so flashlights. Love everything about the kr4, and 2000k just sounds so different, extreme (?) and interesting.
