Emisar D1

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights

Oh you will for sure. I liked my first D4 so much I order 2 more asap before they were unavailable. They go fast!

64

Thanks! I can’t take credit for the idea. I just wanted to post a photo showing how the Solarforce clip interacts with the larger head of the D1.

Several other members have posted about fitting a ‘captive’ pocket clip on their D4. I liked these as opposed to the ‘clip-on’ clips that others have found compatible.

Here are a few, in no particular order: :slight_smile:

emarkd mounted a similar ‘Overready’ clip

CRX used a ‘PK Paladin’ clip on a D4

noboneshotdog used a Solarforce clip and a copper ‘wave washer’ on a D4

electricjelly used a Solarforce clip on a D4

65

Definitely! I much prefer yours as opposed to the clip-on ones. I wonder which variation will come with the new D4. Hopefully not a clip-on.

66

blue D4 ;)

67

Thanks for compiling this. I been having a hard time searching for and finding photos of clips people are using on their D4. Hard to find stuff in threads.

68

Nice colour my friend. :+1:

69

+1.

That blue is sexy!

70

I want a blue D4! Lol

It seems the first person to put dedomed SST-40 in D1 is Vinh:

He says dedoming improves very little though and so he sell it with a dome.

72

I ordered D1 on the first day, got it today.
I don’t agree that the 18350 feels awkward, for me it’s comfortable.
Can’t wait till the night :slight_smile:

73

Is it me or are those numbers a bit weird.

74

Seems very weird… I don’t see how a domed sst-40 can out throw the xp-l hi.

75

I was curious also, do you think somehow with such a smallish reflector the extra output (lumens) would cause the difference. I know that an xpl hi should theoretically out throw a domed sst-40. I am a novice when it comes to modifying flashlights, although I am trying to learn, so I could very likely be wrong.

76

:smiley:
Yesterday I asked Neal If it is possibble to order D1 without led and star because I want to put in a dedomed SST40 :sunglasses:

77

My tests about SST40 and XP-L HI shows these numbers in the same C8 host and FET driver:
XP-L HI V2 1A:
5,9A, 1434 lumens, 93100 Cd, 610m

SST40 with dome:
8,6A, 2232 lumens, 70500 Cd, 531m

SST40 dedomed:
8,6A, 2000 lumens, 136300 Cd, 738m

78

Wow!!!

I need some SST40 emitters? Where do you get them? Mountain Electronics is out of stock. :weary: I guess maybe Kaidomain? Anyone know of any vendors selling 5000K SST40?

79

I bought mine from kaidomain. Perfect dome, no bubbles and any defects in the dome.

80

I wonder why vin had virtually the same result with his domed vs dedomed sst40s? Your results show that it’s far superior throw without the dome.

81

Maybe he thought that a pocketable light has more useful beam with dome than a pencil beam. If you want more than 500m throw you will bring a big gun not a pocket thrower. It is still very good throw for the size with dome.

82

Darnit. I just remembered why I HATE Kaidomain.

I can’t login there. I’m registered with 3 separate email addresses and none of my passwords ever work. I even click the button to reset the password and never get emails from them telling me the new temp password. the problem isn’t me remembering the passwords as I have them written down. Rather the problem is their login system is complete garbage.

Because I can’t login I can’t actually place an order with them.
