Emisar D1 / D1S review

How does the heat compare to stock? Should be more efficient here.

When will the D1S be available to order? Any special discount code in the works? Interested!

Will have to check fischju, I did not notice much different ,but I was not paying attention tbh. When I was using it last night, my uses were all pretty short and it never got hot, just warm. I would expect up to a couple of mins (depending on ambient temp) at max output. After a few uses at 100, I dialed it down quite a bit and was more than sufficient with no heat issues. TK made a great point (might have been the D4 thread). Where as with the D4 or other floody lights, you don’t need to ramp these up anywhere near to see more due to the reflector over optics. So where other lights I need it ramped up(D4 or other optic types), this for most of my uses is set lower if makes sense. But damn that double click to 100, that is very addictive! :slight_smile:

Thrunite has that for years, I wonder why all vendors don’t do it, it’s so logical.

I don’t know when the D1S will be available or exactly what the price will be, but I’ve heard rumors that it could be this week (because Neal already has some, I think) and that the price may be either the same as the D1 or slightly higher. I haven’t heard anything official though. It’s just speculation, as far as I can tell.

Yes, I am use to double click for turbo, many of my lights have it. However for me, the size and how the switch just sits at my thumb waiting to be pressed……makes it easier than normal for me! The UI is a master piece …………simple to operate yet rich in features……genius :slight_smile: Guess I am trying to say, the D1 and D4 make it almost impossible to use without at least one double click :smiley:

I see there’s a 3rd emitter option for the D1 now for fans of the warmer tints: XP-L HI V2 5D, 4000K

D1s ordered!!

Where?

From their China site. I believe Hank will list them on their site by this week. Price is the same as D4 and D1!!! Available in grey and black colors, and 3 tint options like what other members have mentioned.

:cry: Something else colors in the future? Cyan, green, sand, gold?
Could you ask them?
E.g. I’d pay for them + money for those.

Interesting to see whether or not the D1S out throws something like the UT02 or the NC P30?

Indeed. That’s THE question

Considering TK says her throw number could be low it’s a safe bet it beats the P30. Against the UT02 will probably want to compare beamshots and everything since it’s a different emitter and battery so not really a 1:1 comparison.

From which retailers are these lights available from?

My lux measurements always seem a bit low compared to everyone else’s. Also, my D1S has a slightly off-center emitter that I haven’t fixed yet, and it might cause a small drop in lux. I think the official spec is 130 kcd.

Link?

Yes, Zelda?

I thought you were Zelda, hehe. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello everyone,
what a diameter and thickness washer have you used when you´ve added the solarforce clip? I want to order one.
