D1, will be coming first which is going to be available in 18650 18500 and 18350
Very small size, throws around 40Kcd.
Probably in the middle of the month towards the end of the month, D1S will follow soon.
What is the difference between D1 and D1S?
D1 is much smaller than D1S, slightly bigger than D4.
Can you perhaps tell us more about the D7? :partying_face:
Emisar D7 uses 7 LEDs and 3*18650 in parallel, it is scheduled after Emisar D1S.
Yes! Yes! Yes! :partying_face:
So D7 will be significantly bigger than DQG Tiny 26650ā¦.
Hank, have you thought about selling Emisar hosts? There was some discussion about people disappointed with the driver. Now I got in a position where Iād like some D1 with XHP 50.2 which I guess will not be availableā¦.
Hank, big fan of your lights here man! Could you possibly lay out what emitters options will be in the D1, D1S, and D7? For the record I own one of your earlier C8s and I own 3 D4s, and have another one on order from Richard. My brother owns a CW version of the M-34. Each flashlight that I own that you produced has had no problems I have encountered. That is an excellent track record indeed.
As some guys pointed out host version would be nice and appreciated in your flashlight parts store.
I donāt know what the plans are, but what would one do with an empty D4 host?
XHP was mentioned, but I doubt a XHP mod will be feasible ā a boost driver probably wonāt fit in the driver cavity, and the body tube isnāt long enough for two 18350 cells. The driver is a custom size and there is only enough physical space for a single-sided board with a few relatively low-profile components.
The parts which are relatively easy to mod are:
- Firmware
- XP-sized 3V emitters
- Optics
ā¦ and these are all pretty easy to change already.
Hmmā¦ Let me thinkā¦ To modd it of course 
Some guys like to do it on their way 
any news about the D1S? what led will it have? XPL-HI or XHP35 HI?
Iād also like some more details.
A brief overview of what each of the upcoming lights would be fantastic to tell the truth (led, cells, throw or flood would satisfy me very nicely so Iāll know whether to start saving my pennies).
I probably just should start saving anyway, if they are anywhere near as cool as the D4!
Anyone knows what light is this? Got a link? Thanks!
I believe this is all the information we have so far.
It seems like the D1 will probably be out any day now. Hank has been posting teasers:
Thatās a 40 kcd general-purpose light. Not a dedicated thrower, but not a flooder eitherā¦ Instead of ~4 cd / lm like the D4, this looks like itāll be about 25 to 30 cd / lm. Less throwy than a C8, a bit less than a BLF X6v2, and slightly more throwy than a BLF X5. Personally Iād prefer something more like 10 to 15 cd / lm with a smaller head, but this is still a pretty good balance.
I also found some other teasersā¦ like this one, a waterproofing test which also shows an O-ring on both sides of what appears to be a rather sturdy lens.
I could be wrong, but it looks like the buttonās retaining ring is larger and the button is recessed. Also, with only one emitter and a bit more thermal mass, it should have much better heat-related performance.
This one is probably the most practical light in the Emisar D series.
40.000 cd with this size and short tube is perfect for me, green this time!. I hope soon in intloutdoor.
we really need a lanyard hole Hank!! please make a new tailcap with it
