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.
In a sense i envy you . I have no tools and no ability to modify mines . I’m forced to only buy keepers since i would loose to much with shipping and discount .
well, thank you. But honestly the only reason I am confident I can do that specific mod is because Hank said he can do a fet KR1 for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to because I wouldn't be able to do the driver mod, and the stock KR1 driver (5amp-9amp) wouldn't be "strong" enough.
anyway, it's been progressing slowly. You'll love that x9l!
This is one good light.
But that’s Emisar.
