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.
Cheers! For some reason I thought that just applied to the stepped mode, aaarggh!
Looking at HKJ’s tests, the Liitokala has more capacity, but the IJOY has less voltage sag at high current (15-30A).
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.
The IJOY’s are pretty freak’in good!
Hi kiwi, is your tube calibrated with maukka lights ?
Done. I will be completely rewriting that guide soon and to greater depth.
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.
Thanks!
It doesn’t come up often, but this wasn’t the first time someone asked about that particular detail.
Yep! Set up exactly as T/A’s instructions for the diffuser’s, I check calibration before each use… And I keep it covered with the BLF GT Hoodie.
It’s helped me find the weakness in a few of my mods, that I have gone back thru them and made them a bit better. :+1:

I can’t stop watching that Aux light:
Outside turbo:
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.
Did my first UI flash! Woot!
Received a bunch of errors…hex file was in wrong location…(noob)
A little tricky, but had great instructions and am fairly computer savvy…was able to power through it…
Put in correct location…Anduril flashed!
Thanks for help Fate0n3 and ToyKeeper!!
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
Hey skv, I told you. I got 5000 lumen @ turn on for my xpl 5000k… Kwai tube has been calibrated with maukka lights.

ZozzV6 - Those are the same four lights in the same color combination as I have. The only difference is I usually have the short tube on the D1 to make it more pocket-friendly.
And the little orange led in the D4. I also have a short tube but in blue for the D4.
can i use the 18650 to 26650 converter with D4S ? i dont have any 26650 cells

Yes but use decent high drain unprotected cells.
My early D4S prototype can’t even fit most 26650 cells, so I used an 18650 with some packing foam around it during the initial development.
Yes, a cell size converter should work… as long as it’s a good cell.
