https://youtu.be/0Mdv1BbltAc Here’s a quick video going over the fix. It also shows off the intensity increase you can get by high-seating the throwy optic in the B35AM DM11.

Great video Lux!

I did the same like in the Luxwad Video with my D1 and DM11 B35AM and with a temperaturlimit from 50 degrees and ceiling 140 they work well and without smoke , thanks !

Hi Hank.

Any chance ToyKeeper and you could produce the ultimate RGB light using the D4V2 with White, red, blue, green emitters?

Also what do you think of this mod?

Adding a LASER to my D4 (and CCT adjustment, and USBC charging, and UV, and RGB...)

Here’s my Emisar D4 that now has a green laser, adjustable CCT, USB-C charging, UV, RGB, and voltage/temperature monitoring: [image] (I had to temporarily program it with alternate firmware that just lit up everything for this picture, ha) I’ve been carrying my D4v2 with USBC charging for a while and decided it was really missing one feature - I needed to upgrade to include a green laser like my smaller Min/Max lights. Once I got to the point where I was confident the laser would fit, I went …

Not too long ago, I received my first two D4SV2’s, and one of them has a slight gap around the buttons retaining ring.
Im wondering if this is a concern regarding water resistance?
Im a bit worried about using this light in the rain.

I also wonder if this has anything to do with why when the aux are set to low, the four lights under the button have one brighter than the other three.
My other one has a perfectly seated retaining ring, and all four button lights are exactly the same brightness.
Not a huge deal. They both work perfectly otherwise. But its kind of annoying.

I can’t comment on the retaining ring clearances, but those look like warm white button LEDs and it’s been widely established that the brightness not being even is normal specifically for that color.

Ah!, Okay, Thanks. I wasnt aware of this.

I think it looks kind of cool. You lucked out that it happened to be the LED on the “bottom end” of the switch as the light tailstands. If it was on the sides… much more “askew” looking.

Yeah, if it had been one of the “side” LED’s, It’d bug me a lot more.

@kokosnh

You got lucky that it’s bottom one.
I got one on the side, that is dimmer. I Asked hank about it, and received this answer

“It’s normal for this small LEDs to have different brightness, since they have different VF value.”

from my understanding Its peculiar bad with the warm white.
That’s why for next purchases I chosed cold white.
Testing them is probably to much labor intensive 

And yes, it’s worst in reality, then in the pictures…

Ooph!, you got the opposite of me. And with it being one of the “side” LED’s too. That’s a bit unfortunate.
Thank you for the info.

@Mark M

The amber color comes out really good, very even brightness. Also very dim when on low which is great at night.

My other D4SV2 has the Amber button LED’s. The Amber is very nice looking. It is perfectly uniform on both the low and high settings.

[CRC2]

My main question still remains un-answered though.

There is a slight gap around the buttons retaining ring on my D4SV2.
Im wondering if this is a concern regarding water resistance?
Im a bit worried about using this light in the rain, and washing it under the tap with soap and water. I like to wash my lights.

The retaining ring is only seated about 85% of the way around the button leaving a slight gap on one side.
My other D4SV2 is fully seated 360°.

If it were me, I’d grab a socket in the same diameter and whack it once or twice.

I received my D1 (B35AM 5000K with cyan switch light) and I like it. It has nice neutral tint and I think the cyan switch light goes quite well with the grey body. I would like to thank toobadorz and LuxWad for their research on the smoking of B35AM. Following their recommendations, I disabled turbo and limited the ceiling level to 140. I too get around 1300 lumens with my setting. It has relatively low lumens compared to other lights, but it is bright enough for me especially with the focused beam profile.

I would love to see RGB switch light instead of a single color led. I don’ think it is too complicated to implement since RGB aux light is already supported in Anduril. Can’t you just put the RGB aux light into the switch? Is it hard to implement?

The problem is not solved. My D1 (received a couple days ago) with B35AM 5000K smokes on turbo.

One solution to avoid the smoke would be to configure the light to reduce output. Users found that B35AM does not smoke if output is limited to 140/150. So, I disabled turbo and limited the ceiling level to 140. One thing to note is that this configuration can be reset, so it would be crucial that users remember to configure the light every time they reset or reflash the light.

If you let it smoke with the reflector on, it seems that the reflector gets stained. So, I would highly recommend that you avoid the smoke.

Hank said he would limit the current in the future batches, but it has not been announced yet as far as I know.

There are 2 reports, comments over on TLF about the case

“My D1 B35AM 4500K arrived today, Hank texted me yesterday that all the lamps are going through final inspection and that I can use the turbo as normal.
In any case, the first 40-50 seconds of turbo did not show any smoke on the LED :)”

“I ordered my D1 B35AM 4000K on 08/01 and he already sent me the new version. Turbo works without smoking, he also confirmed this to me by email.”

It seems the new version is ready. But we have to wait for Hanks reply

SFT-40 & FC-40 options have been added for Noctigon K1 flashlight,

Noctigon K1 Thrower 1*21700 LED Flashlight - LED Flashlights

[Hank_Wang]

RGB button has been added for D1, which can show the voltage just as K1, choose at hand which RGB color you want.

[kokosnh]

Now how about fitting that RGB button in D4v2?

Any plans for dual channel CC drive for D4v2?

The D4v2 is already available with dual channel : https://intl-outdoor.com/tint-ramping-instant-channel-swiching-led-flashlights/new-emisar-d4v2-with-tint-ramping-and-instant-channel-switching.html

These look cool. Thanks for keeping the single color option available, too.

[m03da (a bear.)]

Whooooo! Pretty colours!

Hank, these look like discrete R, G and B LED packages as opposed to the RGB combos used for aux lights, is that the case? Could other combinations be possible?

Constant current linear, like all the dual channel models
