I was hoping for a white osram for channel two .

I was wondering what the outer the leds ‘should’ be…

Throwers?

I’d love to have the outer 3 LEDs be 2000K for indoor night use (love those on my KR4) and keep the other 9 for something more power. Oh man I want this so bad

Hank, can you customize the emitters? Like you did for my D18. Carried that last night and the yellow beam ma gorgeous with the mix of 2700s and 4000s

Same expectation!

I’m really struggling with deciding which emitters to get. What’s everyone else going to get?

I’m going to order three different lights (grey, green, and black) in different configurations

Hank, what type of Constant Current driver does this light use?

I want…

COLOR:Green
BACK LIGHT:Cool White
CH1:XPL-HI 5000K
CH2:CSLNM1 white

COLOR:Black
BACK LIGHT:Cool White
CH1:SST20 6500K
CH2:SST20 4000K

Sounds pimp dude. So the CSLNM1 would be for throw? Looks like white and green are the only options though

I’m thinking of one light for the house - red backlight + deep red 660nm + 2000k’s,

And then two for outdoor use. Not sure what to get for those

This is so seductive! :LOVE:
I just ordered the Emisar D18 with 18x SST20-DR 660nm and now this...
Fortunately, Hank is offering my favorite configuration: 9x XP-L HI V2 5D 4.000K + 3x SST-20 DR 660nm with red switch backlight. 8^)
I have totally fallen in love for buying another K9.3 with 9x E21A 2.000K R9050 + 3x Osram W1 Yellow but my wallet is bleeding to death already... :((

Anyway, that's a true Christmas surprise Hank! Thanks a lot!

I like both your configs L-P, but might go with the 9x 3500K E21A's on the 2nd.

I was never that torn before...haha. So many choices that are irresistable. :-))

Green, red, 4K, red. Exactly what’s in my cart. Great minds think alike lol.

This is exactly what I’m considering.

Is it clear that inside optic for flood outside for throw?
If thats the case would W1 yellow throw the furthest of the options?

Not really sure what i would want yet.
Thought there would be option or at least mention of buying head only for this and K1 as the battery tube looks the same.
Maybe no one care to save extra 20-30? (just guessing how much tube only is worth)

For those who haven’t had the pleasure of the 2000K… my KR4 runs all day - it’s like a soft golden sunset all day in my basement office. It sits on the dinner table when we eat and by my favorite chair when I read books at night. I have four 18650s devoted to that light which I cycle through

That D18 sounds awesome! I don’t have a red light yet. Mine is 2700/4000 and fits perfectly in my hand. Great for walks at night with the kids when you don’t want to blind everyone with 6500k light

Couldn’t you just tint-mix a D18 and get double the lumens for less money?

The E21A 2000k is awesome. I despised it the first time I turned it on in the daytime. But after a while, I fell in love with the warm cozy tint. Once your eyes adjust it is no longer overly warm. I use it all the time at night.

Too bad there isn’t an option for E21A for Channel 2. XPL-HI 5D for channel 1 and E21A 2000k for channel 2 would be perfect.

Yep it’s too warm for walking around outside. The even mix of 2700’s and 4000’s in the D18 is perfect though

Hey I’m new to this hobby. Can you explain why you like the two configurations you describe? Especially this one. I want you to convince me so I can buy (:

“9x XP-L HI V2 5D 4.000K + 3x SST-20 DR 660nm with red switch backlight”

And why the Osram yellow on the other build? Does that get you throw? Warmer color than 6500 I’m guessing?
