Emisar D4S review

off, dim, high, blink

Excellent, thanks!

Edit: I realize now, that they’re the same options the Aux LEDs have while off. :person_facepalming: Makes sense.

I did choose xpg2 s4 3d 4885k… its on the way…

Oooo, I’m waiting for the photos of the beam

Yes, it is. And it only shows up in the 10507 optic. The beam is very smooth and consistent with the 10511 optic. However, with the green parts blended in with the rest of the 10511 beam, the entire thing looks green instead of just the corona.

I haven’t tried a polished 10511 optic yet. It might improve throw without creating a green ring… or it might not.

Just got my gray D4S, XPL Hi in the mail. Emisar (Hank) sure does know how to make a fantastic light! :heart_eyes: The Aux LED’s are so cool! The tailcap magnet is surprisingly strong; I’m glad I got the extra tail cap without the magnet. I really like the recessed button too. Makes it very easy to find.

Kuddos to everyone involved, especially ToyKeeper :+1:

I will say my only very small… nuance I noticed is the time it takes the light to turn off when clicked. I remember reading someone else mention it earlier. I guess there is a way to rewrite the UI code to change it, but is there any to do this through the UI alone? I don’t have a way to flash the driver yet so I was just curious. All in all, it’s not a problem… I wouldn’t even notice if I didn’t carry around my mini D4 around all day :smiley:

Ordered: 8/3
Shipped: 8/12
Received: 8/30 Georgia

HOT! This little thing is fantastic, but holy hot hand grenade! I ordered the Nichia version, and everything I read about them getting a little warmish is definitely true. Love the UI, the aux LED’s are pretty cool, and the magnet is impressive.

But I need to get some oven mitts. Oh well, a small price to pay for getting everything else in this nice of a package.

Getting around 2600-2700 lumens at 30 seconds with a couple of different batteries, so it seems plenty bright. Glad the days are getting shorter so it’ll be dark soon and I can try her out tonight. :slight_smile:

Nice. I am glad you like it. I use my d4s xpl 5000k everyday… 2000 lumen is the sweet spot for me.

In Canada, the D4 was an excellent hand warmer last winter. The D4S will be similar! The heat has some positives. :smiley:

You and the D4 were probably the reason we had a couple of extra chinooks blow through. Thank you for contributing to global warming! :slight_smile:

It really is a nice product. I can’t really complain about it. :slight_smile:

No, that cannot be changed without reflashing the firmware.

The reason it doesn’t turn off immediately is because it’s not sure if the user is going to press the button more than once. For example, to go to turbo or to ramp down. So it waits until it’s sure there won’t be a second button press, and then it shuts off.

If it were to turn off immediately like RampingIOS V2, it would also turn off before going to turbo, or before ramping down. So it’s a question of whether it’s better to wait longer to shut off, or whether it’s better to briefly shut off sometimes even when it shouldn’t.

But if you rebuild the firmware, you can at least make it wait a shorter time. The default is 24 frames, but some people prefer 20 or even 16 frames because it makes the interface faster. Others prefer as much as 36 frames, because they have difficulty clicking fast enough otherwise. For reference, each frame is 0.016s, so there are 62 frames per second. The default delay is 0.384 s.

Toykeeper, I think I’ll leave this beauty as you all designed it to be :slight_smile: Like I said, if I didn’t already have the D4, I wouldn’t even notice it.

Thinking about the D4S… makes me wonder what is next for Emisar. A MT09R spin-off would be pretty cool… just sayin :innocent:

Thanks again for everyone’s hard work on this light! I know there are a lot of people behind the scenes that I don’t even know had a hand in this light. Y’all should be very proud of this fantastic and extremely innovative light. :beer:

Hi guys,

Looking at getting these 26650’s for this light, but I’m slightly concerned about the dimensions:

Dimensions: 26.65 x 66.55 mm

They seem awfully fat.
The other listed 26650’s is what I’d prefer but can’t find anyone that’ll ship to Australia.

Edit: any Aussies got the Shockli 5500mAh into Aus?

Not Shockli. I’ve got these on the way. Is it worth a dedicated “Batteries shipping to Australia” thread? Maybe someone can run a GB and get a batch of decent sells in via FedEx/DHL and distribute via AusPost? Maybe ask supersports600 if he can get a batch in?

My battery tube I.D. measures 27.8mm

I love the idea of that thread!!!
I’m currently using a Basen in mine:

Just want a battery with higher capacity and known good performance.

Edit: I just messaged this morning Yass (supersports600) and waiting a response, those KP 6000’s are 20A continuous apparently.

So it should just fit then, that’s awesome to know, maybe those KP 6000’s are the new king of 26650’s?

The Emisar D4S can fit pretty wide cells. The main limitation is the length.

I don’t see why not. Emisar stated under 69 mm works.

The keeppower 6000 fit easily but keep going up in price at supersports600.
