blue D4 ;)

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.

That is an awesome engineering accomplishment you achieved. That is one thing I wish I had on my D4. I see there is a pocket clip available for the D4 now in case you were unaware. It doesn’t appear to be available separately though.

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:

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

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.

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.

[Agro]

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

Is it me or are those numbers a bit weird.

[Sledgestone]

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

[Joey_Adams]

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.

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:

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

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?

[ZozzV6]

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

[Joey_Adams]

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.

[ZozzV6]

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.

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.

I Just ordered the D1vn

Spec 2: SST40 HD 6500K Lumen 2300, Lux 48K, Throw 438m

@treoneo

So I should just get the efest 18650 (max discharge of 35A) which would provide highest output and be done with it!

Sony VTC5A will probably give you the highest output (check it out in HKJ’s comparator), but you sacrifice a bit of runtime.

I have noticed that in HKJ comparator and have heard others say that. I do not doubt it. I am using a VTC5A in my TX25C2vn DD/single mode.

I am Certain of this.The minimal increase in output with the VTC5A will NOT be noticeable by eye. That is why I am going to use a 30Q in it.Longer run time and more durable than the other Two batteries listed in the chart. The chart below substantiates that decision for me.

I will personally be using a GA cell in my D1 when it arrives. (Probably) Still no noticeable output loss (to the naked eye) but longer runtime.
