Emisar D18 introduction

Hank said on the first page post 6 that it should be available before the end of this month, and for anyone that missed the other part, under $100 US.

Actually Djozz confirmed the 3500k BlueSwordM sourced is actually above the BBL. The GA3 tint bin seems to be incorrect. Kaidomain just posted they got the 2700k JA3 tint bin which is below the BBL. Hopefully it test out to be true below the BBL. Problem with SST-20 is that the tint varies changes tremendously with output. At lower outputs (especially on 18 emitters), it tends to be green so hopefully Hank can source some far below the BBL tint bins.

Yeah. While the GA3 at 1A is nicely under the BBL with a bare LED, it’s not the case in a real life scenario.

I will probably have 1 of each tint before it’s all said and done. Just great. Guess I will have to start working more overtime. I already have 15 Emisars.

Does it have candle and lightning storm modes?

Sweet … saving my lunch money for a month should do it … hopefully :money_mouth_face:

Any holster that would fit with this?

It comes with a holster.

Just awesome! Somehow I’m really curious whether this beauty also has a red “Noctigon pure copper board” in the tailcap…. because that is just soooo pretty. :smiley:

Almost the same structure

:+1: :beer:

Hmmmm looks like MF01S and D18 going neck to neck.

Interesting battle :slight_smile:

Looks like working some overtime myself as well. Keep adding to the family.

Very nice. Thank you.

Nice light.

Not sure if driving 18x SST-20 on 1x AMC7135 is a good idea tho. They have a rated minimum current of 200 mA and they’d be driven at 20 mA…

Why?

That’s minimum rated current, not minimum working current.

At least, that means the 350mA mode will be super efficient.

At very low current (<100mA) efficiency become decrease.
Unfortunately no test at BLF has low current range.

I too am interested in what choice of optics there are. I’m not really familiar with this type of individual optic per emitter. One thing I like about the Meteor (and D4) is the availability of different optics to adjust the beam from a balance of throw and flood (e.g. the Carclo 10621 or 10622) to very floody (e.g. the Carclo 10623 or 10624). Are there similar options for the type of TIR optic that the D18 will use?

Hank,

Can I ask, what is the diameter of the individual optics?

I love passion combined with quality :+1:
