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.
I finally got time to mod my D4S a little. I swapped in the prototype’s MCPCB so it’s now a 3A tint instead of 1A, and I tried out the flashing vias. I can confirm it works, but you may need to hold it very still during flashing or place it on a table and not touch it. I just used some solid-core wire I had laying around which was small enough to fit into the vias. I think it was 24awg or 26awg.
So now instead of ~6500K with RampingIOS V3, it’s ~5100K with Anduril. And I didn’t have to take the driver out.
I still don’t have a good 26650 cell though, so I don’t know what the peak output is. It’s difficult to measure that many lumens anyway.
Were you able to get the magnet tail cap from mtn? I ordered from intl-outdoor and mine shows shipped as of today. I paid $2 for tracking but haven’t been provided a tracking # yet.
My last two orders from Intl took about 2-3 weeks. The firs time I ordered from them took exactly a month. Mtn delivers faster if they have it in stock since they are in the US. Also if you buy from MTN, both Richard and Hank gets our support. With that said, I also ordered from Intl on day one because I was too excited.
