Been testing some cells and found that a Gold Golisi 26650 at 4300mAh capacity yields 19.22A in my D4S equipped with LH351D W6 5000K emitters. This is better than the 15.06A from a Shockli 5500mAh 26650 and a pair of new Sony’s I just received (one cell at a time of course in the D4S), which make 15.46A although they are only 2600mAh cells and considered to be “vintage”.
Use efest instead ? probably better then any golisi or is there something special about them? im gonna use efest or liitokala when i get my grey Warm White - SST20 3000K 95CRI on my way now, very excited to have a warm white d4s tint.
Thanks to Alchemi who sent me the Ledil-Angie 2287 optic for my testing, I tried using the optic on the D4S Nichia 219C and D4S XPL-Hi 5000K, these are the beamshots:
I like the original, but Im digging the slightly smoother 2286 too. 2287 might be too floody for my tastes unless dedicated for indoors. It would be great on a dedicated candle/night D4S.
I have 3 of these D4S (sorry TK) and I just ordered the SST-20 5000k. I love the ability to get the exact amount of light on what I am shining. So far I am very happy with every tint I have gotten, 219c, XP-L HI, and the XP-G2 S4 3D, 4885k.
The 4885k is the rosiest of them all, which is OK but I like white light the best.
Really love the tints of the 219c and the XP-L HI, there great.
Keep them coming Hank, 5000k with high CRI would be great.
Unfortunately, there is no SST20 5000K with HighCRI available but you could try Samsung's LH351D 5000K 90CRI, if you are able to change LEDs by yourself. Unfortunately, Hank has not offered the D4S with this LED yet.
Just put my 3000k D4S next to some of my other 3000k torches. You’ve already seen that it’s not too warm, so I’m just showing here that it’s not yellow by comparing it to an XML2 3000k single emitter torch I own. It looks brown in comparison, which I really like. You should see it outside; it looks very natural.
Hi, I’m going for a grey, blue cyan aux led one,but I’m doubting in what led choose, I have a M43 with Nichias and like it, also the beam pattern, but in this one I’m between Neutral White - SST20 5000K,
Neutral White - Nichia 219CT 90CRI, 5000K, Neutral White - XP-L HI V2 3A, 5000K and Neutral White - XP-L HD V6 3D, 5000K, what would you choose?
