I hope not, my D1 is still in the mail. Not sure what else would be added to have a V2. Illuminated button?

I definitely wouldn't mind an illuminated button that doubles as battery indicator.

I asked Hank via eMail, there are no plans for a D1V2 currently. 

I have a question to anyone who has ordered a D1 recently: does the flashlight have the new flashing vias, i.e. is it compatible with the Emisar firmware flashing dongle?

I just got the D1 last week, it does have the flashing pads. Have not tried to flash it, I just know it has the firmware where it blinks out the firmware date with 15 clicks. Unsure what version that is Oct/15/2019 I believe? Looks like it’s back on sale at $35 or that’s just the new price.

Thanks @atobe. I might have to get one with a SST-40 5000K

Your firmware is pretty new since it has the firmware version option. Would recommend to not update it at the moment, the recent versions are kind of beta. 

That’s what I just got in green.
