TK's Emisar D4 review

Yes, he is shipping the latest version. He has been updating any older stock to the revised firmware before sending them to customers. The hardware hasn’t changed at all, only the firmware, so an updated first-batch light should be identical to a second-batch light.

Nice!

I snagged a leftover from the first batch (ordered on Friday) and just got my shipping notice today. Hopefully that means it will come with the new firmware in it! :+1:

I expect I’ll order another since the one I ordered was black and I want a grey one.

Looks like Mountain Electronics has updated the website to reflect the new version 2 UI.

They also updated the price. It is now $40. Still a steal if you ask me.

Oh man I am sorry to tell you that I snagged the grey one. I got the xpg2 version since that was all that was available. I had a nichia version IN THE SHOPPING CART and as I was opening paypal and boom. There was a discrepancy in the stock, i.e. someone finished buying the nichia d4 a few seconds before I could pass go. Oh boy that sucks

Oh well… I’m sure I’ll get a grey one soon! So looking forward to this light!

At the same time I purchased the light I also purchased some high-CRI 219C emitters and one of RMM’s off-set quad stars. All for swapping into this light when it arrives.

Be sure to post beam shots of that. I’d like to see how the upgraded quad board looks. :slight_smile:
(no more pinwheel-shaped beam, I would imagine)

is it just me or did this thing come out of nowhere? no buildup or anything, just BAM here is a badass light.

Yeah, pretty much. Nobody had even heard of it until a couple weeks before the first batch was finished.

I may have to see if I can get Hank to participate on BLF a bit more, and tell people in advance when something cool is coming up. It’d probably sell better if people knew it existed.

Hey TK, I bet you are right!

i thought i was the only one :partying_face: anyone knows when the next batch will be?

I’m watching http://intl-outdoor.com for this light to be available…
Any idea when?

TK if you happen to speak with Hank, would you mind asking if he has any idea when his Emisar D1s compact thrower is to be released? Tell him inquiring flashaholics want to know:-)

I just checked mountains website again and it appears the price has increased by five dollars to 40$ for the non xpl hi versions (xpl hi is now 58:money_mouth_face:. Perhaps because of how awesome this new firmware is. Certainly worth the price as far as I am concerned.

Why not offer a pre-order on the site (http://intl-outdoor.com ), so we don’t have to keep checking it several times a day for the arrival of the D4?

+1
Is a Nice light with incredible interface (I love the ToyKeeper work!)…but I hope not increase more and more the price….

Because of hype :slight_smile:
Wait a few more days, price will increase again.

I’m waiting for the D7 to release!

Same here! Really curious for the details… :smiley:

Sad news. $45 to get 18350?
More than I was hoping for…but I think I’ll get one nevertheless.

TK
Can you please explain what the mode tactical momentary is?
Thanks
