As if Mtn would stop being relevant. No one else is even close. 
Even if you closed up shop, you’d still be the gold standard everyone else gets compared to.
Mostly I just wondered if there was any kind of launch coordination planned, but you bring up good points. Each purchase is a chance to support good people who have raised the tide for the whole community, and that’s worthwhile in its own right.
Hurry up and get them Richard so I can buy them from you!
I would love to pre-order, but I'm always hesitant because I hate taking and holding people's money when I'm not 100% sure when the product will arrive. In this case since I'm dealing with IOS, I will put up a pre-order, but I am not going to put a definite date of arrival since I do not know exactly when that will be.
Is it going to be on your site, this thread or a separate thread? I’m very interested.
It will be on the website. I started working on the listing and will hopefully have it finished and up by tomorrow morning.
So which 18650 would you recommend for the D4?
30Q? GA? VTC6?
I pretty much only use GA cells in my lights and was leaning this way. I figure the little extra capacity would come in handy.
Wow Richard. You are absolutely the best. At 3:30 this afternoon I pushed the button on an order for 3 C8 hosts and Bistro drivers. At 4:20 I received an email telling me the order shipped!
At this time of year I am getting people asking about throwers for their boats so they can see channel markers and shorelines from a good distance away. Most are new to the modern age of flashlights and are extremely impressed with my offerings. Without your service I wouldn’t be able to provide for them in a timely fashion.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you and wish you and your family the best always. Happy Independence Day to you and all my American friends!!!
So, I’m here with my paypal account ready and waiting. I’m prepared to throw down for a D4 in green with Nichia and an extra 18350 and 18500 tube and a couple other things. Since it’s Independence Day, I’ll give you a pass. 
Enjoy some dogs and burgers, Richard! Thanks for running such a cool company.
Take my money Richard.
I trust IOS and Mtn…. 
Paypal ready…
I still want to see a picture of this new light…
These pics dj?
Hey guys, the D4 PRE-ORDER listing is now up. 18350 tube too. There are some pictures there as well. 
Order placed for 3 lights along with 3 18350 tubes.
Thank you
Look at those… Those are tears of joy I bet…
Does it have a clip?
Also what is the minimum? Is this something I can easily mod to a triple?
Pretty nifty looking little light. What kind of driver does it have? FET driver?
Why would you want to make it a triple?
RMM, you don’t mention XP-L flux bin. V3?
I do not know the flux bin for sure on the XP-L---it wasn't specified. It is most likely whatever flux bin is currently in stock at IOS.
No clip that I've seen. I don't have the sample light anymore so I don't know if any of the others fit it or not.
FET+7135 driver.
I have drilled trit optics in triple. I also have different leds that I prefer in triple boards.
