Nice deal!

[Bardo219]

D4v2 219b 4500k arrived today, I love the Cyan color and raised switch.

I recommend getting the 219b while it’s available.

I came out of lurking mode to ask if anyone knows how limited this is? I already have four D4V2s from Hank: Black XPL 6500K, Grey XPL 5000K. Cyan e21A 4500K, and a Sand e21A in 3500K. I’m not normally a fan of rosy tints and definitely don’t want to get anything too redundant but my FOMO alarm is going crazy. I don’t even know what light I’d want this in but am leaning towards the 219b in 4500K in something.

Here is the thing about these LED’s. If I just ask you if you want a pink/rosy light, chances are you wouldn’t have any particular reason to say yes. But this is one of those things where you don’t know you want/need something simply because you don’t know it exists or how it benefits you.

The thing about this tint is that it’s like a final edit on pictures or a movie. When you see a magazine photo, it looks perfect. You don’t know how it got to look like that, you just know it looks great. Well this is the case with the Nichia 219B in SW45K.

If you were to bounce the rosy 219B light off a white wall and compare it to some of your other favorites, you still may not see “the big deal”. White walls ins’t where colors are gonna shine obviously. It’s in the colorful area’s of your life where you’ll best enjoy this light. Don’t compare it to the lights on a white wall, compare it in a garden, or on a beautiful painting. That’s when you’ll see how amazing the “rosy” tint is. Reds are a super important spectrum of color. Even just something simple like human skin becomes vibrant with 219b, then instantly dull with other LED’s. It’s something you just end up adoring after experiencing it fully like I told you, in real life. It’s in real-life conditions that other LED’s suffer or fare way worse. Others just don’t cut it when you compare them this way. In a nutshell, Nichia 219B light is like the perfect color edit to real life. Thats not something you can just claim about any LED. And keep in mind, it’s not just any ol’ rosy tint either. It’s ultra high, right side of the BBL High CRI rosy tint. Nichia 219B’s are like if LED’s were introduced to a brand new color and all of a sudden everyone wondered how the hell we ever got by without it.

So yeah, maybe give the LED a shot. Nothing you have now compares to it, so your FOMO would ultimately be appropriate. There are few that saw they don’t like the “rosy”. OK, I don’t know how much of a chance they gave it so I can say for sure why that is. All I know is if you like your movies and images to have proper editing and LITERALLY proper lighting (that makes colors pop), you may end up liking that effect on all life around you too, just saying.

Best of luck and Happy Flashlight hunting

Thank you, I hadn’t considered it from such a point of view so you may have sold me! What do you think from Hank will get the best out of this emitter? Another D4V2? I don’t really need anything so it will just be a showpiece and occasional edc. Maybe I will take the leap with the 4500K if it’s the one to get and would be like owning a piece of flashlight history lol.

My sincerest apologies, I must have missed your post the first time around. I know I’m super late but I figured I’d at least answer your question in case you’re still wondering.

If you want excellent output, I imagine the K9.3 shoud be pretty good, maybe even the DT8. If you want super output, the D18 would be King. If you want sumtin pretty and mega output isn’t a major factor, def go Copper D4V2 all the way, or I guess the Raw Ore. Again, my apologies for such a late response.

@Hank Wang

With freshly charged 30Q 18650 cells, D18 219B vesion turbo current is 48A at turn on, that is 2.67A per LED,
which I think it’s still within safety line?

In that case, D18 219B version should be with direct drive, no current limit.

So unless I’m reading it wrong, it turns out the D18 with 219B’s, WILL in-fact surpass 10,000 lumen at turn-on? Roger that.

Thanks Hank

I just did some admittedly ass-backwards math. But at 2.67A per LED, I’m getting about 645 lumen per emitter and over 11,000 lumen at turn-on.

Am I pretty far off, or at least in the correct neighborhood?

Here is some community data that should be pretty accurate, as an alternative to trying to read the tiny relative output graph from the Nichia datasheet:

Nichia 219B 4500k D220 9080 CRI Emitter output test by Texas_Ace; Amazing tint and CRI! Output is what you would expect.

Ok, like normal, tests done the same as all my others. These are the 219B 9080 CRI (basically the highest CRI you can get in a high powered LED). These are not meant as output monsters but as tint beauty queens. I tossed one on the bench just for giggles. The tint is really great, on the rosy side for sure but the CRI really makes colors pop. I have not put one in a flashlight yet so can’t comment too much on it. Output is pretty run of the mill for a 219B, pretty good for such a high CRI LED…

Rather than just settle for the closest reported current, I did the math to interpolate and got 605 lumens per emitter. You also have to consider losses from the optics. I don’t know what optic the D18 is using, but a Carclo 10mm TIR is supposed to be 92% efficient with similar sized LED’s, so that makes it 557 lumens per emitter.

That would suggest right at 10,000 lumens, if it really is able to pass 48A at turn on.

[Lojik]

That makes perfect sense iamlucky13. That would line up exactly with why Hank said 10,000 Lumen. He obviously knows to account for those things too, unlike me. But I understand this a bit more now. Sure almost 11,000 technically, but impossible for the light to actually put that out.

Reminds me of the the difference between what horsepower a car is rated for vs what horsepower the car can actually put out at the wheels. Thanks.

[battery]

I noticed in one of the other posts that the 5000K E21A tested out to be a few hundred K cooler than the rated when driven in these torches. Does this hold true for the 4500K E21A?

Woah! is there an Australia warehouse??

[RamBull]

Just got my Hank UV mule. Just want to say he shipped it with ZWB2 filter installed. Great service and wonderful surprise.

I also got the 16x E21a 2000/5000k mule black body with copper head and warm light switch. It’s just so beautiful. Thank you, Hank!

It also came with two D18s. The first being the D18 sw35. I don’t know how bright it is but I all I can say is that it’s just beautiful.

The D18 SST20 Far Red (730nm)/ SST20 Deep Red (660nm) is just super red. I’m glad I got the deep red because the far red is way to dim.

[mattlward]

Is this Hank’s new FET driver? This is from my latest 219b D4V2.

!

!

This driver does not seem to have a ML mode that is as low as the ML on my SST20 4000k unit with the older driver. Is that expected? I think I have set the minimum floor at 1.

[ArtieT59]

that looks like the new 9amp driver. ML is set at 3/150 i believe. you need to manually set it at 1/150..

[mattlward]

I did drop it to 1 if I did it correctly. I think the light is anduril 2 and I do have it in advanced mode.

[mattlward]

I found the setting… I had started with the light on, not off. It now has an amazing ML mode!

This is actually an item returned to the shipping company’s operation center, not a really “warehouse”.

For the US shipping, I kindly ask the customers from the US to make sure the shipping address is correct/valid,
even the zip code is very important, if the shipping address is invalid/incorrect, the package will be
returned to the sorting center, and will be DESTROYED there, there is no way that the package will be
returned to us, or reshipped to the customers. Please spread the words.

this is valuable information, thanks Hank! I will mention it.
