Does anyone know if the offset optic fits this light without any modification.

If so could you please attach a link so I know what optic to purchase.

Do you mean the offset star? That’s a replacement star for the LEDs to sit on where each LED is rotated at a different angle so the corona is much more even and not square.

The offset star replaces the stock star. They use the same optic.

You can buy the offset star at Mountain Electronics

OK got you. Thanks for the direction. Is this the one?

Is there a clip that works with this light? About to order two of them
I want to be able to strap it to my hat with the 18350 tube. Also will the s4 3D be a good choice?

Yes, that’s the one. You’ll also need a soldering iron and basic soldering skills.

Anodized D1 and D1S…. will be nice colours like green or only dark?

I like my D4 on the rocks…………….

@DB Custom

Geuzzz, that looks like the same Noctigon board that came in my D4. I’ve replaced it with Richards quad board and Nichia 319AT emitters.

Did you have measured the lumens with stock LEDs and 319AT?

I have a spare Noctigon Board and want to use dedomed XP-L2 or 319AT Emitters. Now I have 219C.

[rubatone]

Ordered 2!

[Joey_Adams]

I would love to see some beamshots of the 319AT as well. Hint hint

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

Lost lumens going to the 319 but the color is a soft eggshell white and profile is nice, I think it’s worth the loss as the amperage went down as well.

No lights on, blinds closed so it’s pretty dark in the room…. you can see behind the elk on the clock that there’s a discoloration in the center of the hot spot…

This rather awkward shot at the 1’ square white ceiling tiles (styrofoam, pure white) shows the dark center and some oddity to the color’s in the peripheral… all in all not bad but too similar to the XP-G3 for my tastes.

Sorry, these are on my new iPhone SE, too crippled up to use a real camera and get down on the ground for the ceiling shots.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

Might have to dig around and come up with 4 XP-G2 for this one…

Someone posted a pic or maybe it was a link, of a nice holster for the d4, can’t seem to find it in this massive thread… It had orangeish stitching and a nice texture material.

Anyone know what holster I’m talking about…?

I think it was a manker holster

Thanks for the reply Geuzzz, but nope, Manker holster doesn’t have all the orangish stitching. Thought I saved its link somewhere, but can’t find it for the life of me, beautiful holster it was….

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

Ok, so now my D4 is equipped with the XP-G2’s that I removed from my DQG x7 XP-G2 light. They’re a bit on the warm side, not bad, slightly more so than the 319’s.

Edit: Bangood doesn’t stipulate further than NW, so these are probably in the 4000K range tint wise, pretty warm for me.

I’m guessing it was the Convoy holster. I’ve got a couple, they fit my S2+ and various other 18650 tube lights.

Same beamshots, now with XP-G2 NW emitters…

Yup, thats it, thanks Lazy-R-us. :+1:

Finishing up a order now with Convoy store. Will the s2+ pocket clips fit the D4 ok, or is the Armytek Wizard v3 clip a better choice for d4…?

[FlyingJ]

Well I’ve been playing with my new Nichia D4 for the past day and am enjoying it a lot. It’s a whole lot of light for a heck of a deal…

I have a bunch of Zebras to park it next to, but I just have one question:

Will the thermal protection really keep this thing from hurting itself? (I’d like to leave the programming as it is but man!)

I’ll normally run the 18650GA in it and sometimes the Efest Purple IMR 18350.

I kinda want to stress test it because I’d rather discover any issues up front but won’t if it will likely get damaged…

Any feedback is appreciated!

Definitely like this XP-G2 NW better when comparing the fireplace pics. Thanks!
