Emisar D4S review

No need for concern for yall tho …. that 1 in a million is reserved for me :person_facepalming:

I think the following tiny bug has not been mentioned before.
My D4S Nichia does not always save moonlight into memory.

Procedure to replicate: Light is off. Unscrew and screw again the tailcap to reset memory. Click and hold to start at moonlight. Release quick enough before (!) it starts ramping. Let it on as long as you wish. Switch off by a single click. Switch on again with a single click. Now the light starts at the power level from the reset state (when tailcap was screwed).

It actually just doesn’t save moonlight into memory with the above mentioned procedure. So the light might even start in turbo if that is the last used level.
If you just have the light on and ramp it fully down to moonlight, the level will be saved into memory flawlessly.

Maybe it’s just my model or maybe it’s not a bug, but a feature? :slight_smile:

Nonetheless great UI and a great Light. Loving it :slight_smile:

Try either holding it down longer or ramping up slightly then back down.
If it’s important that you absolutely start on moonlight just hold down the button a microsecond longer rather than clicking it. Pretty simple.
If it happens to go up a level then click click/hold to force it to ramp downward.

Yea, thank you. I do this workaround already. Just wanted to mention this behavior so it is recognized and can be fixed in future UI revisions

Indeed, that is not a bug. It was added on purpose because people wanted it. The memory only remembers the last level the user ramped to. Going to a level via shortcut, like moon-from-off or double-click-for-max, does not change the memorized level.

To make it remember a level, including moon, the user must ramp to it instead of using a shortcut.

That explains it. Thanks :slight_smile:

Thank you sir. I end up ordering two golisi l2 from banggood for $13.69 each.

If anyone need a link, please let me know… i was told there were some fake golisi charger out there.

In smooth ramp mode, is there supposed to be a little ‘hiccup’ somewhere half way through the ramp? By hiccup I mean a brief hesitation where it seems like the light shuts off for a split second and comes back on at a higher level, and then continues ramping up from there?

Also, I realized the Shockli cell doesn’t make contact with the terminals of my Miboxer C4-12. So now I’m stuck using the “slow” Lii-500 to charge it. Sigh.

I use the MiBoxer C4-12 to recharge my Shockli’s all the time…. check the negative terminal of your charger, you might have to bend it forward a bit so it stands straight up…

I use mine to charge 32650’s as well. :wink:

Thanks for the tip. Looks like this helped!

Isnt that hiccup when it goes from regulated to unregulated?

Yes. That marks where the light switches from 7135 to 7135+FET.

Thanks.

Also: is the factory set moon mode as low as it can get, or can you program in an even lower moon mode?

Yes, it’s a reference point, a mile marker, added because people wanted a way to tell when they crossed the threshold between power channels.

Although it’s is mentioned in the manual, I’m tempted to publish a FAQ somewhere too. If I do, that question will be #1 on the list.

Here is one:

Thank you. I was looking for that manual. :slight_smile:

Battery recommended?

Thanks! This is a much nicer photo. :slight_smile:

Among others, the first six pictures in the OP if this thread. Click the pager link for “1” or “first”.

Pm says an unspecified manufacturer wants insider production details about Emisar lights. Even if Emisar shared that info with me, the answer would still be “no”.
