We have a similar shipping problem to Canada right now. I could not find a source for the Shockli at any reasonable price but I found a store which claims to ship the LiitoKala which are close enough in capacity for me. I hope I’ll actually receive them.
I haven’t bought a flashlight in a couple years now but this one is doing it for me. Going to buy it with XPL-HI V3’s. 
I measured 1.7 mm x 0.8 mm, so I’m pretty sure Emisar is using 0603.
Is there a blf discount on this site? Tempted by this pocket rocket…
Is it possible to config a simple one mode lamp? eg 600lm On/Off with the stepped ramp.
lol thanks Dale glad you responded 
as I’ve never ordered from them before so not sure how there shipping is etc...All my other torches are from zebralight.
Oh I see now the industry uses inches,so 0403 is 40 thousandths,063 is 63 thousandths etc.
Took a while for that to sink in.
Have some of the lights already been shipped from intl-outdoor? Mine is still processing while the batteries from intl-outdoor have already arrived.
If you ramp to 600 lm, it will do on/off at that level by default unless you switch to a different level.
Or there’s the stepped ramp, which can be configured for anywhere from 2 to 150 total steps. It’d take a bunch of clicks to set either end to 600, since that’s pretty close to the middle of the ramp, but I think you could set both ends to 600 and the number of modes to 2, if you really wanted it to only do that.
It’ll still have access to turbo though, and access to other modes (including the smooth ramp). There is no muggle mode in this UI.
Or you could ramp to 600lm and go to momentary/tactical mode. It’ll stay there, at that level, until power is disconnected.
So… sort of?
In my strong opinion all hotrods should have a muggle mode, that can not be activated by accident and that can not be disabled by accident. The X5/X6 firmware had a good working one, I wished that Hank had seen the value of it.
I won’t be loaning this one to granny. 
Sometimes I’d even leave my X6 in muggle mode, because it’s useful as a second mode group.
At least the D4S can switch between two ramp modes, since they each have their own floor and ceiling values. Like, one for indoor use and one for outdoor use, or however the user wants to configure it.
But it has no muggle mode.
In place of muggle mode, a cell that won’t deliver high performance but otherwise still works is a good idea. Like a Panasonic B, it’ll work fine, it just won’t burn anything.
Rats, just received a refund for the battery amount. Are the Thrunite 26650’s fairly good? Might get a NW Catapault V6 and borrow the battery out of my cool white for the D4S.
I ordered the Nichia D4S as I don’t have anything with that led. I’m still a total noob with only a half dozen lights, but figure I might as well see what this whole high CRI thing is all about.
I love my Catapult V6, but I am not sure at what amperage the protection kicks in with the included cell. The Emisar D4S is meant to use unprotected cells, it can draw 10+ amps, the Thrunite cell may also be too long to use.
Emisar sells cells with FL purchases.
Ah right, forgot about the protection. I think I was just trying to come up with a reason the get the NW Catapault. The CW is awesome (much more compact and throws almost as far as the Klarus G35), but nothing wrong with collecting the whole set. Unless you ask wifey of course.
I’ll have to see if there’s anyone in Scratchnwin that carries 26650’s. Sucks that very very few companies will ship batteries into Canada anymore.
Once you go high CRI, you will never go back.
I don’t think Emisar has done group buys or coupons in the past. Hank just seems to make the lights such a compelling price for the features from the start that they sell themselves without promotions.
Maybe there will be a price drop long term like the other Emisars, but who knows.
Emisar D4S XP-L HI 3A Green on its way from MTN!!
weeeee!
This has been asked before, and I searched the thread…does this UI have a factory reset?
