That isn’t entirely true though TK, the fins on the head are conjunctive to the reflector, not the emitter shelf, and as such are more cosmetic than efficient. I like how it follows the form of it’s lesser siblings, enlarged only to serve as a holder for the larger objective: throw.
I may take that a step further and machine a second enlargement to hold a yet larger reflector, somehow it just begs for it.
I think the slight aesthetic oddity of the D1S is mostly the short length of the host relative to its head diameter.
For those who received their D1S in the US already, did your tracking give updates? Mine hasn’t updated since the first processed through notification.
Haven’t had too much time to play with the D1S, but I’m very impressed with the heat handling. Hotspot is around double the brightness of my Convoy C8. Will post a mini-review when I get the time.
Wow, those beam shots remind me of the difference between my Olight M3XS-UT and my L6. It will be interesting to compare the D1s to the Olight when it arrives.
