Emisar D3AA is available now

Oh, that is interesting about light painting needing a tail switch. Maybe what we really want is a remote controlled light? There are lots of lights with remotes these days. It would be great to have one with Anduril. Here is a Fenix remote switch that seems to replace the tailcap on some of their lights:

Official Fenix Store | Original Brand Authorized Retailer since 2006

I guess for a side switch design there could just be a switch port on the side as well. I’d be supportive of this, especially with the t1616 processor, since it could be used for other stuff too, such as configuring or reprogramming the light.

Some light painters use remote pressure switches (notably Klarus, Nitecore, and Olight), and again they need to be connected to the tail as the head of the light is in the adaptor/connector and inaccessible. RF remotes are more of an annoyance than a help and only really useful in RGB lights. Personally I like the momentary mode on Anduril, as it allows fine control of on/off. My buying guide to flashlights for light painting is in my signature.

@Rayoui

You basically just described a Zebralight (save for lack of Anduril)

I’d love to see a smaller single emitter tail switch Anduril light from Hank to fill the void that is left by the FW1A. Throw a buck driver in it and it would be the perfect EDC light.

I’ve not seen any Zebralights with tail switches!

You wouldn’t want to use one for light painting anyways. Zebra’s UI just isn’t cut out for it

Very true. The only Zebralight that has interested me is the FC700D as it can sustain 1500 high CRI lumens, so great for backlighting, however they don’t sell it in Australia. So I’ll just stick with my Q8!

I think I can give up on the illuminated tail switch idea!

How about a tail switch with tritium vials?

That’ll do!

[lazerEagle]

Who has tritium? more like unobtanium.

Speaking of unobtanium + 1 for 5000k SFT-40 emitter!

New torch looks super interesting, look forward to more specs.

Hi Hank,
are there any new informations about the problems with german customs and resend the packages ?
I still wait for one flashlight

@Hank Wang

Dear Germany customers,

Recently, many packages to Germany show the tracking status “No one available to receive the item, the package will be returned to sender”.
Actually, those packages have not passed German customs, and will be returned to UK sorting center, so, they will not be returned
to China. In the mean time, some packages did pass through the German customs and have been delivered to the customers sucessfully, so, we have no idea why those packages were refused by German customs. I think it’s related to the Brexit since all the package to Germany are handled via Royal mail in UK, but it’s only assumption.

Anyway, those packages are on the way back to UK sorting center.

So, our plan is to resend those packages as soon as we find a better shipping method to Germany.
It should take us 2 weeks (till the end of September) to handle this issue, and resend those package.

In the mean time, if you can not wait, you could also request refund for the orders.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This new 40mm TIR looks like the battery tube screws in deep, a bit like in the K1. Is this the case?

I’m trying to make sense of the proportions. Is the switch farther away from the tail-end, comparing to the K1?

Looking at it makes want to hold it (edit meaning: it looks ergonomic, has a nice size, and I want one). Thanks for also making this green!

Could you please post a picture of the DM11 standing next to a D4V2 + D4SV2 so we can a better feel for the dimensions?

We have already started to resend the package one by one, please let me know your order number via email, so that we can resend your order.

TiCu or AlCu.
Colors are for social networks, less colorful are for real use

As you ask for Ti, which is horrible for heat dissipation and more of a show piece variant. The very thing you’re accusing ano’s of.

Read again…TiCu…

This looks terrific. Specs sound excellent. Really looking forward to this, Hank!

Hank, I’m waiting for you to add charging to the D4V2 please. Any hope?

I have respect for everyone thoughts and opinions. Not picking… But I’m not a huge fan of charging a battery in a flashlight. A charging port or magnetic charging just creates a weak link. I like my external charger. But everybody has preferences.

I already have my D4V2 and only missing the light in the button. That feature came out after I got mine!

To each their own. I have plenty of USB charging lights and I haven’t had any fail yet.

is it possible to create an optional usb-c charging module?
only a 10mm long module to screw between body and head with charging port and passthrue

in my dreams i got a D4V2 with charging port, tail switch AND side switch and 3 levels of AUX brightness :laughing:

[will34]

This with SFT40, Ti-Cu, and K1 style in body usb C charging… PERFECTION!

I want to try Emissar, and it is unclear on intl-outdoor.com whether d4v2 comes with anduril 2 by default or i should by flashing kit to update it myself?

@Forsythe P. Jones

I’m not keen on the 14500 concept unless it’s dual fuel and tiny. And I think that doesn’t fit in with Hank’s general approach of making lights super powerful. I guess we will see.

Have you looked at Shockli and Vapcell’s crazy top of the line 1000mah high current cells? Those are real beasts!!! They can push harder than NCR18650GA. It’s been my dream to have a 14500 light that can actually take advantage of these two cells. The FWAA can utilize the power of this but it has other problems.

Anduril 2 and you can request by email if you want 1.

[Forsythe_P_Jones]

It’s not just the cell—a tiny 1aa light isn’t going to have much thermal mass, so it can’t run at high power for long. Also, a 1000mah cell would get used up awfully quickly at such high drain. Even the 18650 in the D4v2 gets drained pretty fast, which is why the 26500-powered D4Sv2 exists.
