21700 is nice but the head will remain the largest part so you won’t really gain much in the way of pocketability (is that a word?). That being said, 21700 is probably my favorite single cell light size for a belt or nightstand light.
From my very novice understanding is that the XP-L HD throws far, but it also stays cooler than the sst-20/40’s do. Im sure someone will chime in with more details
My fireflies e07 is a great example. Head close to same size as my d4s but I edc the e07 way more often. The d4svn is a lot more bulky to the fat body. Even though it’s shorter than the e07, it’s the thickness that matters. It’s also heavier as well. And when you put your hands in pocket, it feels more in the way due to the fat body.
Just an update, i receive yesterday the E07 from https://www.nealsgadgets.com/ and is an amazing ligth. Neals aparently have comunication issues and the site does not update the status until the product is delivered. He delivered with some delays but i will buy from him again. The D4V2 looks like is arriving next Wednesday. I will take pictures to compare.
Ah, sorry I’ve misread. I have not read anything about it I believe. Personally I think it’s less likely as the weight increase will be substantial, although obviously it will be a very cool light.
Has anyone else had an issue with the lens rattling around with the stainless steel bezel? The regular bezel has a snug fit with the lens, but I’ve carefully screwed on the stainless steel bezel three times and although it’s on correctly, it doesnt rest against the lens.
