Emisar D1 / D1S review

Indeed, 5mm longer and 10 grams heavier :slight_smile: Its true that for a casual hand use it might me practical ,yet i found that ppl who “live by night” do prefer dual switch type.

Thanks for your great work btw, you never failed us al those years, cheers!

87.4% of all stats on the internet are made up.

Not really a D1s competition, but Wouldn’t Sofirn C8 with e-switch work better than X6R?

That would most likely be me, was there also Neal’s last 2 Aspire 18350 inside the Emisar or tubes? if not
there will be another party involved. I did not get your grey D4. Instead my part in the lottery produced a
black D1S and a black D1. At this point I am just keeping my fingers crossed that my BLF GT gets to me
in one piece.

Hey,

No Aspires in the package…
But the D1S has a XP-L HI V2 with 5D tint.

It’s probably not your order…

Indeed…

Should we start a topic about this?
I get the feeling many more orders have been mixed up…
I’ll have a look around TLF if there are similar things going on, for as long as i can bare the German language… :wink:

My order was only missing 2 clips

Sorry to interrupt all you great modders about tailcap threads and such and orders going awry, (which is not good!), but the green D1 I received from Richard has the smooth finish which I really like. It’s a great little thrower and a bargain at $40.00.

I still think it would be nice to have a disfuser for it.

No, probably not. Contact Neal directly if you want to sort things out.

Neal is on a trip at the moment (to get married), but he should be able to take care of things as soon as he gets back. He was probably just in a hurry to get everything shipped before his trip.

Yeah, i think you’re right.
I’ll just wait for his reply then.
Or should i return the package a.s.a.p.?

Jerommel, I sent Neal a message about your situation. Hopefully he’ll get to it quickly when he returns.

True, but i talk from a personal experience

There isnt a Sofirn dualswitch model afaik

Sofirn SP31(Thorfire TK15S) has side switch for mode changes and forward click tail switch. If this was available with Anduril it could be an amazing light.

Thats more or less a S2 look like torch m8, cmon ,…Tk15S…be serious pls, we are talking about the 45-50mm reflector range

Yeah it’s mine, I did order the 4000K tint D1S. Just the weird combo of the grey D1S and the 2 green 18350 tubes alone.

There was also a bit of a mix up in ordering the Aspire as well. I ordered 4 from his site, but he says I only have 2 left, do I want Keeppowers? No, So he refunds me all 4 cells, but I wanted the Aspire, so I send another paypal to cover the 2 Aspire he has remaining, since he says the cells need to be inside the tubes to be shipped. No idea why they were not in the package.

A quick gander at the USPS site to ship to China is in the mid $30 range. All my orders from China take around 3 weeks to get to me, the Emisar’s took six weeks. Neal’s tied up till early January, we come to a solution, I send it back, he receives it, then sends me the correct order, and in my mind I am looking at sometime in late March to get delivery for an order I place in early November. I decided to leave well enough alone. I was not planning to email Neal regarding this. Kinda wanted him focused on GT GT GT :heart_eyes:

Last night I bought several drivers from Richard during his xmas sale and included 2 green 18350 tubes, unfortunately they had no stock on the Emisar items in early November. all in all everything is good with me :+1:

What centering are you using?

I’m just reading this now:

Sorry i didn’t look here earlier, but it probably doesn’t matter anymore.
So it was your order afterall…
I’ll PM you, because the green 18350 tubes are small enough to send to USA for $3 and change.

Meanwhile i have sold the D1S to a Dutch member here.
Neal promised to refund me $10 to cover the shipping.
I hope he won’t forget, because i would hate to have to open a Paypal dispute…

Thanks TK. :+1:

Anyone home?? I just thought it was odd that this thread has been inactive for so long….
Has everyone been enjoying their D1s’s?
Am I the only one that received a defective D1s from Neal?
I still have not got a response concerning mine purchased on Nov 4th…. except for the one “please send a video”
I filed a Paypal dispute and escalated it to a claim a couple of weeks ago but still no response from Neal or Paypal.
I dont know enough to trouble shoot but took the head off the light, not really knowing what to look for, and fiddled
with the wires a bit and it seems better than it was but it still is unpredictable and at times seems haunted.
It even came on by itself in the middle of the night when I thought I had switched it off…… but apparently not……
That’s scary! I have since removed the battery…… if it comes on now Im gonna bury it.
Just hoping to hear from Paypal soon. :weary:

Boy Coscar, that’s too bad about yours. Hopefully you’ll get it resolved. I feel for you as I just received a new Thrunite TC20 that has an ugly greenish beam and I’m very disappointed and will be returning it.

As for the D1, I’m more than happy with mine. I have the CW version, as I’m a big CW fan boy, and it is outstanding in every way. It’s one of the best, if not THE best light I’ve ever received. Quality throughout and the most pleasing CW beam I’ve ever seen. At $40.00, it’s a true bargain, at least the example I received is.

I also put a Butler Creek Blizzard flip open scope cover with diffuser film installed on the light and now I have a wonderful area light and with the flick of a thumb, a wonderful thrower. Such a winner and so small and handy.

Again, so sorry yours isn’t a winner like mine and hope things work out for you and also me with the TC20.
