My D4SV2 with the SW35 is sitting in a distribution centre right near my place and it’s killing me. I’ve got a battery ready to go and I keen to see what these emitters will do in the D4Sv2 body!
With freshly charged 30Q 18650 cells, D18 219B vesion turbo current is 48A at turn on, that is 2.67A per LED,
which I think it’s still within safety line?
In that case, D18 219B version should be with direct drive, no current limit.
Sounds promising. :) Do you have some Samsung 25S or 20S to test with again? These are supposed to be the most powerful 18650 cells available. If D18 219B works with them properly, there should be no way of killing these LEDs. :D
How many 219B SW30 and SW45K do you have left?
Oh and by the way, Hank did you have any chance to take a look at my previous post?
Default original optic back in stock for D18. Also can now select Nichia 219BT-V1 3500K and 4500K emitters. Order placed.
Hoping for tint below BBL with nice light pink hue, Thanks to Hank Wang for all your efforts. You are the best!
it is not "out of line" to send him an email (reply to your order confirmation) asking for update. After 10 days I would send one to check in. That's not unreasonable. I've done it once or twice before .
We have one D4V2 in Australia, 219B 4500K LED, with flat retaining ring, extra flood optic, 18350 tube, and magnetic tailcap, original price is $60.17, now, 30% off, which is $42, shipping included, for Australian customers only, PM me if you are interested. ———Sold
My sincerest apologies, I must have missed your post the first time around. I know I’m super late but I figured I’d at least answer your question in case you’re still wondering.
If you want excellent output, I imagine the K9.3 shoud be pretty good, maybe even the DT8. If you want super output, the D18 would be King. If you want sumtin pretty and mega output isn’t a major factor, def go Copper D4V2 all the way, or I guess the Raw Ore. Again, my apologies for such a late response.
So unless I’m reading it wrong, it turns out the D18 with 219B’s, WILL in-fact surpass 10,000 lumen at turn-on? Roger that. :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:
