@djozz
it seems the S42 could be as short as the D4. There is a long tripod thread in the tail of the S42
I know, and the driver with USB socket and components probably eats extra mm’s too.
Got a link for the gitd foil?
I used this https://www.ebay.de/itm/141654400313
But I think you can find something similar in your country.
Thanks.
Mine showed up 2 days ago… I can’t put it down since then !
219C and grey, I just added a Convoy clip (slightly re-bended to fit)
How is the tint on the xpl-hi 3a.I got the nicha 219c version and was thinking about getting the xpl-hi mcpcb from international and trying it.I figured for about the same price as and xpl-hi i could have the light and 2 different mcpcb.
Never used or heard of GITD Foil, but I use this Products - Glow-On and it’s pretty impressive!
Th adhesive vinyl works best, it last about 8-12 hrs, at about the out put level of a trit, the paint (water based) not as long but is good for filling in the back ground of the board, but it is a PITA to use, I have bags of the powder too that I mix with petroleum/epoxy based paints, it applies easier if you thin it out.
On these smaller lights I just stick with the vinyl tape. I have a precision shim punch and knock out some different size dot’s to stick dead center of the triple and quad boards, then use a razor and straight edge to make strips, to run around the ID of the head or small strips just at the top or bottom of the LED’s or to make locator strips around the battery tube or head of the lights.
+1
If you’re only going to buy one light ever, this is the one to get.
That’s right. This D4 is very bad for the flashlight industry, and for the Chinese economy. 
It won’t work unfortunately.
I just measured my Zebralight clip and the “arms” are too wide. They measure about 3.6mm and the groove in the D4 tube is only 2.8mm wide.
It’ll work with a bit of grinding but not fresh out of the box.
And no flashaholic should be without (at least) one in their collection! :heart_eyes:
Thanks. Do you use normal art paint brush to apply the GITD paint?
Thank you. It’s nice and cheap. I will buy one.
Kind regards
It’s too late for me already. Everything you listed I either recently acquired or have one on the way :laughing:
Your welcome!
Yep, I have a couple horse hair brushes that work the best, the synthetic hair bristled brush will not hold the water base paint very well at all, and then spreads it out kinda streaky,but they work with the petroleum based paint!
I have, but I’m not interested in large multi-cell light…for now. This D4 is actually all that I need (I tell myself repeatedly).
Blasphemy to put the Emisar in that brand.
Perhaps “nice and inexpensive” or “nice and a great value”?
Yep, Marketing 101, never use the word "cheap" ...inexpensive, value, bang for buck, cost-effective, economical...never "cheap" (even if it is!). Still waiting for Mountain to tell me they restocked...oh well.
