My green one from MTN Electronics got here Saturday and has the programming via’s like the green one shown above right. Richard was positive that the optics are glued to the MCPCB but mine wasn’t, so there seems to be a couple of variables in these, maybe some first runs got through done one way before they figured out a better way?
I picked up a couple of flat top batteries for the D4S (it’s finally at Canada customs! Hooray!) and was wondering of one would be significantly better/worse? My TA lumen tube is stuck in customs (9 days now) so I thought I’d ask the collective wisdom here instead of just guessing.
I’m hoping this hasn’t come up already and I missed it. Apologies if it has.
Well that makes things interesting. It’s both easier and harder to connect to the line of flat pads — easier because I assume it fits a standardized set of jumper pins or something, harder because it has no holes so one cannot just shove wires through it.
I hope Lexel’s connector becomes widely-used soon, and I hope we can get someone to make and sell the keys or flashing kits fairly cheap.
Yep, they are a really good performing cell….IR on my Sky RC charger puts them at 16.
Had to check my D4S with only the driver spring removed and a brass contact added as the only mod to an otherwise stock light. 5,650lm on the other IJOY @ 4,21v.
Also checked the wife’s Stock D4S I got today from Hank using the IJOY 26650 4.21v off the Sky RC charger 5,050lm @ Turn on.
I got the light the other day, with the V3 Hi’s. Throws further than expected and with a better beam profile than expected. The UI is great. The aux LEDs are pretty. Very nicely done. This light is a big deal.
So here is the comment made by skylumen ( pro modder ). He doesn’t go to blf. Here is what he wrote, “ D4S just came in. WOW, this is the best Emisar.”
Thanks TK, Hank, and everyone who succeeded this project.
Kawi, that is freaking incredible that you got 5000+ lumens. Which emitter did you get? I only got 3,800 lumens with my D4s XP-L HI 5D using my TA tube calibrated with Maukka lights. I’m kind of disappointed. I was expecting 4.5k lumens
