Emisar D4S review

Arrived in Sweden last week, looks good and feels just fine. I like the amber leds mucho.

No complains, included was the black version of the battery, and the magnet is so strong.

Yes, im a noob that (yet) do not now how to insert the picture. https://ibb.co/QKBssNn

To be, continued.

Green with Amber looks good together. Thanks for the photo!

“frosty Ledil-Angie 2287 optic” sweeeeet. Where does one acquire this ? :heart_eyes:

Fan så fint !

I ordered a black with sst20 4000k with amber aux.
The Amber aux looks awesome :smiley: seems that the amber is the least popular?

haha japp!
i ordered a 3000k sst20 red aux.

Najs. Would be fun to try a 3000k, but im afraid it Will be to yellow.

I have 3 of these D4S (sorry TK) and I just ordered the SST-20 5000k. I love the ability to get the exact amount of light on what I am shining. So far I am very happy with every tint I have gotten, 219c, XP-L HI, and the XP-G2 S4 3D, 4885k.

The 4885k is the rosiest of them all, which is OK but I like white light the best.

Really love the tints of the 219c and the XP-L HI, there great.
Keep them coming Hank, 5000k with high CRI would be great.

Now for that SST-20 to get here………

Just got mine.

Anyone have a loose front glass?

Unfortunately, there is no SST20 5000K with HighCRI available but you could try Samsung's LH351D 5000K 90CRI, if you are able to change LEDs by yourself. Unfortunately, Hank has not offered the D4S with this LED yet.

Just put my 3000k D4S next to some of my other 3000k torches. You’ve already seen that it’s not too warm, so I’m just showing here that it’s not yellow by comparing it to an XML2 3000k single emitter torch I own. It looks brown in comparison, which I really like. You should see it outside; it looks very natural.

Hi, I’m going for a grey, blue cyan aux led one,but I’m doubting in what led choose, I have a M43 with Nichias and like it, also the beam pattern, but in this one I’m between Neutral White - SST20 5000K,
Neutral White - Nichia 219CT 90CRI, 5000K, Neutral White - XP-L HI V2 3A, 5000K and Neutral White - XP-L HD V6 3D, 5000K, what would you choose?

In this one I would like more flood than throw.

Are you concerned about color quality?

If so, and you want more flood than throw, I would get the Nichia 219C version.

If not for the floodiness, I would just get a 4000k SST-20 95CRI.

I have replaced a couple, in single LED lights but replacing 4 at a time sounds like a chore instead of being fun.

Hank will get some 5000k high CRI’s at some point in time, I can wait.

Thanks for the comparison. I really like the SST-20 3000k HD2 tint bin from Kaidomain and this is the same HD2 tint bin except one flux bin higher :+1:

Thanks for answering, yes, I like it on the Nichias, but the 1000 lumens difference between them is there. The 4000k SSST-20s wouldn’t be too warm?

4000k is probably more on the warmer side so if u dont want that at all u should get min 5000k tint then.

Thanks, I’ve just ordered it with XP-L HD V6 3D. :+1:

white flat 2mm would be really nice.
sst20 also nice but i rather wait for white flat. does anybody now if this is really gone be an option

I got the PL47 in SST-20 4000K 95 CRI and was concerned about it being too warm for my taste. I hadn’t seen the SST-20’s before. The light came in and I found the tint to be very nice, on the warm side of white but not real warm, acceptable even to me. But, alas, the light is being gifted. To remedy that, I promptly ordered another light for me with the SST-20’s. :smiley: (not an PL47)

I’m a little bit on the fence regarding the emitters for my next flashlight. So many choices (which is fantastic) but I’m stuck.

My choices are between the SST-20 4000K 95CRI and the XP-L HI V2 5D, 4000K.

They have similar throw from what Hank reports on his site and even though the XP-L throws a little better, that’s not my intended use for this light. The XP-L has about 1000 more lumens over the SST-20 but I wonder if it’s really meaningful on a visible and heat-related level. If it cranks out more lumens, I’d guess that there’d be more heat and a quicker stepdown. If it’s a bit brighter for a very short amount of time, it’s not worth the extra $ as well. The advantage of the SST-20 for me is the High CRI and lower cost. The HI has been reported to be a pretty efficient emitter but what’s the limit for lumens in a light this size?

Any thoughts to make me lean toward one over the other? I’m thinking that the SST-20 is the better choice for me.

Maybe a discussion of how many lumens are reasonable for a light this size. It’s fun to ramp it up and wow friends and scare pests in my gardens, but if it’s not sustainable (like my D4), then I’d rather go for a different choice. What do you think?
