TK's Emisar D4 review

The Mtn board doesnā€™t completely eliminate artifacts or weird corona shapeā€¦ but it does help rather a lot. It basically gives you 16 dim flower petals instead of 4 bright ones.

Right, and the Nichia 319AT looks nice from that design as well.

Is this a correct translation?
FWIW
ā€œFor what itā€™s worthā€
Another acronym for IMO

Yes, itā€™s stating an opinion or a small fact that may or may not make a difference for people to know, so, for what itā€™s worth, think about thisā€¦.(FWIW)

Like, FWIW, this light has double o-rings on both ends of the battery tube. That may or may not matter to anybody, but there it is. :wink: (again, ā€œthis lightā€ being just something I pulled out of the blue not necessarily meaning the D4.)

Pretty close, ā€œFor What Itā€™s Worthā€ is usually more a slight correction about the facts rather than an opinion. As above, TK was simply pointing out that her new code has fixed what might be considered a bug in the code. It does not change how lights already released to the wild will behave (unless they are re-flashed).

IMO - The D4 is the greatest flashlight of all time, OF ALL TIME!

FWIW - US buyers will get a D4 sooner if they order from MTNElectronics rather than International Outdoor due to shipping times.

I just changed my grey 219c mcpcb for a XP-G2 S4 5D 4000k. Wow, what a fantastic tint! Very warm with a nice subtle rosiness. It is everything I had hoped the S4 3D would have. Definitely my favorite now.

Now I just need to reflow some 219c 90+ CRI, r9050, sm405, d240 on another mcpcb :smiley:
And after that I need to buy another one with XP-L Hi 5000k and another one to try dedomed XP-G2 S4 2Bs or S2 1D in it. In the end Iā€™ll probably end up with 5-6 D4s :person_facepalming:

This solar force clip works after removing some material from the interior of the ring.
Iā€™ll need to grind off the unfortunately placed lanyard ring. Wouldā€™ve been better at 90Ā° to the clip.
Oh yeah, the light doesnā€™t work with the clip on. Iā€™ll need to either remove some stock from the cap or put a magnet under the board in the cap. Not sure if that board comes off easy so probably off the end of the cap. $10 off Fleabay.

Something going on with tinypic and canā€™t get flickr to embed. hereā€™s a link.

Another solution to make the light work while thereā€™s a ring between the tube and tailcap is to add some wire in the tailcap. A paperclip can work, or copper wire if you have it.


Iā€™ll try that, thanks! really rubbing it in on embedding images. What did that take you, 2 seconds? lol!

Sheā€™s got skills, no doubtā€¦

embedding images really isnā€™t difficult, the biggest concern really is having a stable online storage point. Then easy access through good internet. And the ability to search fast, through key words or fast typing skills. Or a green magic wandā€¦

Not sure where this clip originated, it was in my kitā€¦

Placed an order for a green nichia D4 thru Int Outdoor. How long to the U.S. Is the shipping? Iā€™m not in a huge hurry, I got the fabulous astrolux s42 to play with! WTF were they thinking?

Took 12 days or so for mine.

Dale, that looks like a sunwayman clip.

What do the ā€˜blinks in the middle of the rampā€™ meanā€¦?

I think itā€™s the switch from 7135 and FET

Confirmed

Guys, thanks for the answerā€¦

I really donā€™t know Gunga, itā€™s a nice fit and the ramp at the end of the clip mates up nice with the head, but if you donā€™t hold it out slightly when removing the tube from the head for a battery change itā€™ll scratch the head. (Of course, the tail cap is also removable)

Iā€™ll be going to a shorty tube as soon as it arrivesā€¦ :wink:

(allcool appears to be ā€˜in the knowā€™. Can u imagine someone not ā€˜in the knowā€™ trying to figure out that reply?) Iā€™ve been around here over 6 years now and I donā€™t know what it means.

Purchased mine on July 30th. I have not received the light and tracking info shows no movement. I have emailed Hank several times with no response. I have no idea what the status of my order is. I donā€™t get it.
