My Emisar D1S arrived in the US today, just 12 days after ordering it via Neal’s Deals on M4D M4X’s site.
In short, I love it! :heart_eyes: Here’s a family photo with a D4 and D1.
I prefer the smooth finish of the earlier Emisars, but the new matte finish isn’t unattractive or unpleasant to handle.
I opened it immediately to swap in ToyKeeper’s awesome Andúril UI. The D1S is my 8th light running Andúril. :partying_face:
The driver fits tightly, but is not glued. I desoldered the emitter’s wires and pushed the driver out from that side.
The switch PCB’s wires are long enough to access the driver without issue.
Here’s a hotspot comparison of the D1 and D1S at 6 feet (1.83 meters) from a wall. Both are 5000K XP-L HI V2 3A.
I hope to share some outdoor beamshots comparing the D1S to a few other lights soon.
