Received sand, xpl 3A today and the 18350 tube.
Kind of a matte gold more than yellow/brown which is fine by me.
Aux LED’s are really nice touch. Its like a whole other mode set to play with.
Very clever blending LED’s to mix extra colors.
Even more clever is conceiving and writing software to control a chip to make all the options for a single button to control. Quite advanced from our younger days of “on/off”.
With the short tube on, pumping out turbo and having blinky lights of many colors—-feels like it’s something that a time traveler left behind.
Truly a minor milestone in flashlight tech.
They really crammed in as much novelty, utility and features as that little package could hold!
Recieved my one also today. SST20 6500K in dark grey. I luv it…
Really nice crafted. the print of D4V2 on the talicap is perfect placed…
Need to explore all features…
The smaller zebralights like the SC60 series and SC50 series all use screwed on clips. Only some of the larger ones like the SC600 series use slip on clips.
I assume he has something like an SC64w HI, which uses a screwed on clip.
The aux LEDs in high mode use more power than the main LEDs in moon mode. For what you described, you may as well just leave it on all night in moon mode. It would be brighter and would drain the battery less overnight.
The Zebralight SC52w-L2 and Zebralight SC62w both use a very secure screw on clip. I have my D4V2 now and really like it, but would accept a couple more mm in the tail cap for a screwed on deep carry clip.
There’s an unfortunate bug in first-run Emisar D4V2s sold through International Outdoors before July 19.
When put in muggle mode (6 clicks from off) and run with a partially depleted cell (about 3.8v or lower), these lights effectively enter “self destruct mode”. After approximately 15 minutes of being off they will turn on and start flashing at full power with no ramp down from the thermal sensor.
If this is an 18650 cell, the lights may overheat, which in a couple cases caused some or all of the following: (1) plastic optic melting, (2) driver wires desoldering, (3) button boot and retaining ring popping off. Probably from expansion of the aluminum head.
As a safety measure it is recommended to avoid using muggle mode if you have one of the affected lights until fixed. The fix requires a firmware update and can be done in about 1 minute without disassembling the light, but requires special hardware and software.
Just to confirm, every light ordered through International Outdoors after July 19 is safe? I’m literally about to pay for my order, and just want to double check.
Just joined this thread so don’t hate me (much) if this question was asked somewhere like 30 pages before…
Is 219C 5000K option 90CRI like solo emitters on Hanks site or it’s something else?
