Many thanks for the valuable feedback 
I have a Brass D4v2 with (4) Osram “W2” CSLPM1. I ordered it from Hank a couple months back when the brass d4v2 came back out. It is Awesome, and kind’ve the only reason i havent ordered the d4sv2 in W2, because i already have something like it.
It out throws my kr4 sst20 5000k by A good amount.
Plus, Vinh is great and i almost ordered his, but ordering the BRASS d4v2 with W2’s from Hank was cheaper then ordering the Aluminum d4v2 with w2’s from Vinh. just saying… and i put the throwy optic in myself for $3…
andreas0401 - thank you for these posts. they’re great. I would say that I may be getting this soon.
The larger and deeper optics of the D4SV2 by comparison to the D4V2 optics offer more throw, the larger thermal mass also gives longer turbo. Coupled with a 5000mAh plus battery there is plenty of reason to jump to the D4SV2. It’s literally a D4V2 on steroids.
The X9L is a really special light. I know some hate it, some love it, but it is one of very few in my collection i will never sell. I think of it like this - it is as bright as my FT03 xhp50, it legitimately throws just as far as my ft03 xhp50, but it is pocketable (for me) @ only 3/8” longer then the fireflies E07, and same diameter. or 1/2” longer then the KR1 and a 1/4” larger head.
It is remarkable.
Nearly identical to my order :+1:
Spill the beans, how does it differ? Cyan?
Hey man
I’ve just ordered a d4sv2 w2
Is that the same as the one in this post?
Its not secret menu as its listed there on the emmiter option
I already have a d4sv2 xpl hi 6500k so this is really helpful!
No SS bezel :partying_face:
I was deadset on a copper one until I saw the video comparison above. While I’m sure it would be real nice it just wouldn’t be different enough to warrant a spot in my modest collection…
If you decide you want a S/S bezel I’ve ordered one spare.
Thanks for the offer, I’ll keep it in mind 
I guess I could see that, since you’re being all reasonable and stuff lol. But truly, if you do keep your collection modest there probably isn’t enough of a difference. Then again, going by that model I should only have 3-4 lights. :cry:
The copper would be really heavy in the x9l, I got the KR1 copper abd that is a tank, the x9l would weigh more , but handle the heat really well. The copper KR1 handles heat Significantly better then my aluminum, with the same emitters (W2.1, W2.2, xhp50.2, sst40).
I have a MK37 SBT90.2 coming to scratch my itch. KR1 copper sounds appealing too! Love my KR1/W2 cyan. I think I would do KR1 copper in something 5000k or warmer.
Defintely, I did mine in the sst40 5000k, but I have a xhp50 in it now, they are both really good in it. The copper deflects the heat so well. I’m jealous, I really want that manker! That’ll fill the need for sure
A little bit of Necro-threading but, the OP’s original post has been super helpful to me! Thank you!
Anyone get a tailcap current measurement of the 4xW2 Emisars? 16A? 20A?
I know this is an older thread, but can anyone tell me what the maximum sustainable output of this configuration is? Separately, how long can it maintain turbo?
Thanks!
Couldn’t resist . Ordered it in copper from Neil 2 days ago . $142 compare to $132 from Ali . I’m not confident with unknown ali vendors . Looking forward to compare it with my kr1vn in copper too .
oh man I would love the x9l in copper. Honestly the only reason I haven't invested in making the sbt90 KR1 yet is because it's the same price as the x9l, but doesn't throw as far (it can't, IMO, because the head is smaller). I love my kr1's, and will probably do the sbt90 mod someday, but the x9l is a great place Keeper for it.
