Any idea when the E21 emitter version will be available for sale? If it’s going to be soonish, will wait and get both the K1 SBT90.2 and KR4 E21 at the same time.
Also, on the intl-outdoor site’s search bar if you type in D1S, there’s an interesting suggested autocomplete for “37D1S v2”. Sure would like to see that come out soon.
Our E21A LED package is stuck on the way for long time due to the virus issue, not sure when it will move, so, we are not sure when it can be offered. The 10623 optic will be default optic for the KR4 E21A version.
Mine will hopefully be here tomorrow. I need to get some 18350 cells, has anyone verified the max length yet? I would like to get a protected cell to avoid over-discharging if I forget to not use turbo. Assuming turbo for the xpl version draws more than an 18350 can handle.
Using turbo doesn’t somehow disable the light’s built-in LVP. There might be protected 18650s that could handle the drain from a D4 on high or turbo… but they will be rare and probably expensive. No protected 18350 will be able to handle the higher output levels without tripping the protection circuit.
I’m not even sure most protected cells will fit a D4. For kicks I checked if a Wowtac 26650 (flat top, protected) would fit my D4S and it was too long (wasn’t going to risk crushing something by forcing it).
Sorry, that is what I meant originally, current draw. I would rather have the cell protection trip and be annoying than damage an unprotected cell. If I can’t find one that could handle the current without damage.
18650 Battery Store has a Samsung 30Q with a 15A protection circuit. Still would not fit because it is listed at 68.64mm, which is a bit too long. I know you were talking about an 18350 but I haven’t seen many protected batteries be able to handle higher current.
I’ve noticed that most optics that have data from Carclo/Khatod/Ledil or whomever, always seem to have unfavorable results with the E series nichias. I wonder how much of this has to do with them being so thin and domeless, resulting in them sitting too far below the optics? Has anyone tried drilling (counter-boring) the mcpcb holes to see how the optical efficiency and beam change with a different focus?
Just ordered from Hank, with Warm White - SST20 3000K 95CRI. This will be my nightstand flickering Candle light. Thank you ToyKeeper for this awesome UI.
