Emisar D4S review

Hank, how about a dedomed SST20 version for even more throw? Would that be feasible?

I don’t know SST-20?

How do they compare to other emitters?
For example to Nichia 219CT?

What will you choose:
Neutral White - Nichia 219CT 90CRI, 5000K
Neutral White - SST20 4000K 95CRI
or any other?

Thank you

Thanks Hank! That’s awesome! I’m going to place an order! I’ve been asking for someone to make some 3000k, thanks for this!

Gregor, the CRI on the SST20 4000k is beatifil. It rivals the best 219b R9080, and runs cooler . It should have a wide hotspot too. Just a wonderful emitter. otherwise get an XPL-HI if you want throw…Hanks’s 3A tint is killer good and clean! I should say XPl-HI my favorite in this torch currently all around…the kcd of the SST20 is also impressive; can’t wait to see the comparisons from out in the wild come in!

Excellent! Ordered.

Great to see more emitter options being added! Will need to look into the SSTs.

I was previously thinking about getting an XPL-HI version before the HD and SST options came out. Now I’m not so sure!

Anyone know if it’s possible to order a mixed-tint D4S directly from Hank? i.e. 2 x XP-L HI 3D and 2 x XP-L HI 5D?

Ordered SST-20 4000K 95CRI - Thanks!

I second adding Osram KW CSLPM1.TG

What are exact bins and tints in offered SST-20 variants?

Based on what Hank posted above, the SST20 (non CRI) actually has more throw than XP-L HI.

Yet the XP-L HI carries a $15 price premium.

That makes sense. The emitter of the SST-20 is smaller than the XP-L emitter => more throw

Also, the SST-20 costs around 0,60€ in quantities of 1000 while an XP-L Hi is around 2,50€ in quantities of 1000.
That alone is a difference in material costs. But please don’t ask me why the difference is 4,50€ per emitter.

I need to stop looking at this thread…I’m happy with the one I got…I’m happy with the one I got…I’m happy with the one I got…

Can you point me toConductive Gel please?

Searched but did not come up with much.

Just purchased a D4S..

I recall some of the more knowledgeable folks hereabouts mentioning mixing several different LEDs to get better color rendering.
If y’all can specify a good combination of emitters, would it be interesting to ask for that configuration?

I’m not that Hank, I’m the other one.

Those sound awesome.

I’d especially like to see what the 5000K one looks like. I’ve been wondering about SST20 5000K for a while.

People may take it for granted that Emisar lights come with good emitter choices, but compared to almost every other brand, it’s really special and unusual. Take Olight for example… almost everything is cool white, and one of their recent lights only comes in 7500K. :person_facepalming: It’s kind of amazing that Emisar has so many choices.

FWIW, that probably translates to about 82 kcd.

Vinh’s lux meter seems to use a different scale than most people use. The correction factor seems to be about 0.75 or so, if you want to compare the numbers against other people’s. For example, the D1S (stock with no mods) is listed as 130 kcd on Intl-Outdoor or 170 kcd in Vinh’s shop. 0.76 correction factor. Every other light I’ve checked (or measured) also follows a similar pattern with a factor pretty close to that.

LMAO Literally what I was thinking when I read what Hank said and continued to read on lol…. Had been debating on getting an XP-L HD variation but now the SST-20 has been thrown in the mix.

Anyone give any details about how the beam of the SST-20 will be?

Someone already measured CRI sst-20 5000k?

Thank You.
