What does it use, a 26650?

Did someone restyle an Emisar D1S?



18650

reminds somewhat of the astrolux C8…

The form factor, reflector size and throw is all nothing special (not like the GT that created a whole new class), but in this fairly crowded niche I like the design very much and it is fun that they followed the GT styling in detail. And of course the user interface is un-beatable!

Does it have the tripod mount?

The pic with your daughter is un-beatable too :+1: :slight_smile:

That’s a bummer.

They should at least gone for 21700

I assume the "Mini" idea did not allow that

also price wise a 18650 is a good decision - many people have them already.

Anyway they could double the head size? That could be the mini gt and this one can be the micro gt

Oh yes, as a GT owner I’ll be wanting one :+1:

I like it, interested, please let me know when this is playing out.

Thanks. :smiley:
