… when u check on them in a week, are they still charging :wink:

I see what you mean Dale about the Khatod might not work, it is slightly taller as you mentioned, like maybe double tall ha ha,
Also I don’t think Khatod makes a 24mm anymore, all I could find was only 25mm.
I think I’ll just try some UCL lenses, it seems that every light I’ve ever used those lenses in had some sort of increase in something or other, but with no box or means to measure anything coming OTF I’m not really sure what the improvement was but it was noticeable,
To my recollection the first light I ever tried one of those lenses in was a M24 Maxtoch and I could swear it increased the lumens but it might have just been my imagination, the beam did look noticeably better, so I’ll try a lens or two in these two new lights and see what happens.
I sure would really like to try and see if that 25mm Khatod would fit in the D4 might get increase in throw but really to me it looks sort of doubtful…

If you want a D4 with more throw, it’s probably best to get a D1 instead of messing with emitter domes and optics. It’s just not a throwy light.

Your absolutely right TK and really they throw much more than I’d have ever imagined, and do have 2 D1’s ordered, mostly just comments about nothing really, Thank you

The Carclo 24mm quad series would be pretty easy to swap in for a different beam profile, the Khatod optic would require pretty drastic modifications, probably the only real way to use the Khatod would be to machine a new bezel tall enough to handle the extra height.

My EDC Ti/Cu light has the Khatod and the beam is pretty impressive. Clicking it up to level 7 outside in search of a crittur making noise the illuminated area is pretty staggering. The D4 is also quite capable of surprising one in it’s output and coverage levels. I would think a 10623 (hope that’s right, the last 2 are the main important ones, it’s a spot optic with a diffuse surface, no cup in the external make) would be a nice swap. Maybe floodier with a more uniform output.

Will the D1S be available for pre-order with you guys like the D1 was? Any ETA for that?

See if you can get the D4 pocket clips they have on intl outdoor page too. Im sure plenty will add some to their next order :slight_smile:

Hello I am trying to purchase a convoy l2 xpl hi from mtnelectronics… I am planning to use it with 2 x26650… is this light came with the extension ? Or I need to purchase extension? Thanks.

I think you will need to purchase this.

According to the listing the extension tube is included :

What’s Included :

Convoy L2 XP-L HI Flashlight
Battery tube extension
Extension comes with both smooth and anti-roll rings.
Lanyard
18650 conversion spacersSmooth ring and Anti-Roll ring for extension tube

This is so cool… where can I find the lumen and lux info?? Thanks.

Here is a link to the Convoy store. It’s a 3A driver so the xpl should give out about 1000 lumen. They don’t list lux so you’ll have to search for that from what other people have measured.

Richard,

Any word on when SST40 emitters will be back in stock?

Also, will you be carrying 5000K SST40?

I swapped the Nitecore EA8 Caveman’s XM-L emitter for an SST-40, took it from 900 lumens to 1400 lumens without changing anything else but the MCPCB… the orignal was thin aluminum and I used a 20mm SinkPAD modified to fit. Pretty cool to gain 50% more output without having to bump the driver! :slight_smile:

Got my Emisar D1 today from Richard, boy do I like how this light looks and performs! :smiley:

Here’s the Emisar D1 beside a Manker Godmes T01

With the 1300mAh Aspire 18350 I’m seeing the lowest setting at 0.7935 lumens and the highest at 1249 lumens, start value. Tail current on a fresh Aspire 18350 was 4.88A.
With an Sony VTC5A 18650 I’m seeing the high end at 1462 lumens with a 6.56A tail draw. Even at 30 seconds the Sony was still delivering 1345.5 lumens. :slight_smile:

Gotta love it!

Edit: PS, gotta make note, the reflector in this D1 is as near perfect as any I’ve seen! Beautiful! Nice job Hank, very much appreciate the effort! :slight_smile:

Might be worthy to note, I grabbed my little 18350 equipped D4 to look for something earlier today, the one with XP-E2 green emitters, and it would only operate in full Turbo momentary. Couldn’t figure out what might have happened to it. Got the D1 in the mail this afternoon and when I locked it out with 4 quick clicks it too operated as a momentary in Turbo. DUH! My little D4 had been locked out. A quick 4 clicks to unlock it and it worked perfectly. LOL

Lock out mode is 6 clicks !

4 clicks changes between Tactical mode (momentary) and regular modes ramping .

I’ve had some odd button sticks, but generally if I double click the light it will stop whatever it is doing wrong or loosen the tail cap. Not anything to complain about at all.

I suppose this is the first and only time we will see your D1 in stock form. :smiley:

What are your plans?

You are so right, changes already made, it now makes 1552.5 at start and 1400.7 at 30 seconds on an Aspire 18350, 1735.35 at start and 1604.25 at 30 seconds on a Sony VTC5A.

Spring bypasses top and bottom, swapped in an XP-L W2 1D on a 20mm Noctigon. :smiley:

Love how it lost .4A but gained some 300 lumens in the trade. :wink:
