Emisar D4S review

Does the release of the D4S mean the end of the regular D4? I’d love to be able to keep buying D4’s, but there doesn’t seem to be much inventory any more. I’m hoping that it is because they’re just focusing on D4S production right now.

I’m a little bummed because I ordered 2 Shockli batteries, but ended up ordering button tops. I may have to order two more flat tops now. While I love buying flashlights, I hate having to keep purchasing batteries.

Ordered mine as well through intl-outdoor… 1 Gray Neutral White - XP-L HI V2 3A, 5000K, with battery and a spare tailcap.

So many awesome lights out right now, my bank account is not happy :expressionless:

Ordered, those blue aux lights have really tickled my balls

So if I understand correctly, currently only lights with a “smooth” battery tube are being sold? I’m guessing they will have the version with knurling later.

I think it means “not chalky” feeling…but with knurling…smoothish anno…not the rough stuff

You are right, I forgot you must be logged in and you need some number of posts, sorry!

Hi DeusLight not at all, I think these are the correct Shockli ones (maybe other members can confirm) have a look at the link good price too you get 2 battery’s for £12.81

Cheers Fab1. It looks like Gearbest wont ship them to the UK. Torchy the battery boy on ebay UK sells them. I have seen him recommended in threads from a few years ago. So I might get some from him.

Does anyone know if there are any plans for other D4S colours? I’m still hoping for a purple one to be made.

I thought because it was in British pounds it was a uk website my bad. Could you kindly put a link to ebay for torchy the battery boy as I can buy a pair from him. Thanks

i had a look and yes he sells them but there button tops NOT Flat tops not sure if these button tops will work as well

I just noticed that too :frowning:

I’ve just bought a GT Mini (which arrived about 20min ago!) so might wait till next payday to get the D4S so hopefully will locate some by then, or I’ll just get one from Int-outdoors.

That’s fine Deuce Light enjoy your get mini

CAN ANYONE ELSE CHIME IN AND ANSWER IF THE SHOCKLI BUTTON TOPS BATTERIES ARE A BAD IDEA OR WONT WORK AS WELL AS THE FLAT TOP ONES FOR THE D4S??

I think torchy re-wraps the cells so he might able to remove the button tops or wrap some without the addition of the button tops if he is the one who adds them.

I’ve sent a request to him on ebay and will update here if I get a response.

Take care and have a nice weekend (and a nice wait for batteries and D4S … :wink: )

oops… should have hit F5 before posting :person_facepalming:

Great stuff. Fingers crossed if you do let me know or pm me

Hahaha thanks Micmania have. Great weekend

Richard at Mountain Electronics suggests two button-top batteries (one being the Shockli) for the D4S. The pre-order page says that the maximum battery length for the D4S is 69mm and the Shockli is 66.8mm according to his site. Another button-top cell he recommends is 67.8mm and in his words, “Only batteries on the recommended list are guaranteed to work.” If he is selling them in conjunction with the D4S, I’d bet they’d work.

Of course he’s out of stock at the moment. Seems that there was a lot of recent 26650 buying activity. I’m looking at you SC26!

Ordered one grey XP-L HI version with magnet in tailcap :smiley:
