TK's Emisar D4 review

Which FB page is that?

Ah, that explains the new 4xXP 32mm board and Ledil Angie-S optic on the intl-outdoor site :slight_smile:

Time to open a thread about the new one? :smiley:

That looks nice :sunglasses:

It’s way longer, I wonder why ? I mean, 18650 and 26650 are the same length…
I hope that it has a thick shelf under the MCPCB !

Other than better heat dissipation, can we expect the same output and emitters from the D4S as we are seeing with the original D4?

Assuming that it is indeed a quad with Ledil Angie-S optic, the light is at least longer because the optic is longer than the Carclo 10622 (well, just by 3mm actually), the output should be about the same as the D4, but with a bit longer turbo-time, the throw should be considerably better: a narrower hotspot.

Well if the D4 is transposed to the D4S, then maybe Hank will turn the D4 into a Meteor M43 like light; basically four D4 lights into one M43 form factor with 4x4 emitters.

Oh wow, such hype! That’s another must purchase.

It looks so nice and fat too.

Maybe there will be a 26350 option too?

I also wonder if the extra length is for some of the jumbo-sized 26650 cells out there or maybe with a sleeve to accommodate a 21700. Looks cool anyway.

Oh Lord! Where does it end? Yet another MUST HAVE light! :person_facepalming:

I expect the lanyard hole adds a few mm in length as well, glad to see that included!

Has anyone before in these 4700 posts actually checked this?

And where in the driver is this power (24W!) burnt off? :open_mouth: (the light is fine after 10 seconds reverse battery contact).

That dark blue D4s looks awesome, but is that a new blue DRESS next to it as well? It looks shinier than the old Cyan color.

Oh wow 26650 D4!

Good catch.

Comparing manufacturer predicted beam specs for XP-G emitters, since both manufacturers have that emitter modeled:

Carclo 10622: 4.3 Cd/lm
Ledil C12885: 8.0 Cd/lm

Aside from a different optic, I wonder if the additional height also fits in any changes to the driver.

Given more PCB area, it seems pretty reasonable that additional 7135’s could be added, although that doesn’t add height.

To be honest, I’m not thrilled with the optics choice.
Not that Angie is bad, quite the opposite, but siamese optics are a proven choice that enables higher throw in the given size.
Angie with a rotated-pad-pcb is going to deliver a largely artefact-free beam. But personally I’d rather take a large few minor artefacts for a more pointy beam.

Still hoping they will come out with an aluminum 18650 battery tube for the D4 with knurling.

I hate smooth tubes and the Titanium version is too heavy for my pocket.

Holy crap, I want one.
Gonna start browsing for 26650’s in my vicinity.

I’ve got plenty of batteries just waiting for something like this. This is exciting. When can I get one? What are my color choices?
