I have two D4V2’s with 2000k E21A. It’s really a beautiful warm light. It’s best for night use, when there isn’t much competing light. As mentioned above, it has a calming effect, much like candlelight.
Ok, you guys are convincing me. The brass D4V2 with the E21A 2000K, red switch backlight is sounding pretty nice. Would you recommend the extra floody optic? Not sure why it's $4 extra but might go well with these LED's?
I've been waiting for aluminum with the switch backlight but doesn't seem to be happening.
e21a typically come with the floody optic anyway… on the contrary I’d recommend getting a regular one to try as well. I put the 10622 in my 2200k e21a because I’m a throw fiend and it makes it a better ‘all round’ light in my view as opposed to just an indoor/up close one. It would appear that 10622 plays nicer on the lower K e21a than the 3500k and higher where colour aberrations are more obvious.
Not sure what the stock optic is, but I'll stay with the stock one then. I don't have any E21A LEDs/lights, so this will be a special light for me. Also I don't have any D4V2, but do have a blue D4SV2 which I really like. I got an old D4, actually an early prototype, upgraded the LED's & firmware couple times.
Just think in brass with the red switch backlight with the warmest E21A's would be pretty awesome.
I Ordered a brass and titanium/copper d4 today, and honestly would’ve ordered 2 aluminum if they had lighted switch. The lighted switch Hank does is by far better than anyone else’s… I wish it was on all the Emisars. Even if the prices went up $10 on every one of them, I’d buy them all. Again. Lol
In my experience with Hank, if he has the item in stock (10622, 10623, etc) and you ask him after you get you order confirmation to use one or the other, he will and he wont charge for it unless it actually costs more. I just respond to the order confirmation email, with my question or request. I just wish he carried 10621’s, because for all my xpl-hi and sst20 id have him ship them with that so i wouldn’t have to buy them from MTNe separately.
