I didn’t know any more than what you see here (at the moment).

Wooooooo! Guess i’ll hold off on the FF X4. Is USB charging a standard part of the driver or an option that might or might not be implemented?
It’s optional. And since redesigning all of his lights is a huge expense. It’s very likely hank lights won’t include charging. Except the k1 which already has charging

So help me by reviewing the specs of past Lume 1 drivers- amps and volts output. Is it 3 or 6 volt?
Lume1 = 3v buck-boost
Lume X1 = 6-12v boost only driver.
I’m excited, for hank’s move towards the X1, however jackson posted a side by side emitter setup that looked closer to the FF NOV-MU V2 than something with a reflector or optic…
That’s very exciting, fingers crossed that it’ll be available from Hank as a loose part to retrofit old lights.
I’d love to put one into my D1v2 MT-G2, KR1 FC40, and DM11 XHP50.3HI, the stock drivers are comically underpowered.

I see. I wasn’t really expecting a modified existing light but rather a new design (though i’ve been yearning for an extended D-series body tube with K1/9.3 style charging for a while…).
Did anyone hear of a timeline for the release of new Emisar lights?

About 2 people got D4K with Lume X1 driver on Reddit by request via email. Maybe other lights as well.
DT8K also updated with new option for Lume X1 driver
Does not fit on D1K atm
The new light is DA1K single LED with floody lens by default

Cool thanks
Recarding D1K: I remember reading from Loneocean’s Reddit post that LumeX has driver component height of 4mm, while D1K I measured had driver cavity depth of 3.9mm. So at least 0.1 mm too low cavity.

So the battery will be tight?
Driver is too high for the space available to fit into
The battery is already too tight on Hank lights, they always seem to slightly dent the +ve poles.

I hope this can be handled with a different spring on the Lume driver, in the current boost driver, knowing the spring force F(x)=kx, his existing spring k is too high, and x doesn’t have large enough range of motion, so it basically just punctures the terminal.
Also if the diameter of the spring is larger, that may distribute the force to the stronger (outer) part of the terminal vs the weakest (center).
But yeah in addition to all of this, I think the battery tube should be a few mm longer.

The rim/ridge where driver sits on is 3.9mm from the led shelf. And inductor is 4mm tall on the driver. So the driver board wouldn’t sit on the ridge meant for it, because inductor bottoms out.
1 Thank
I hope that the DM11 will get a version of this, as the current driver isn’t great with the SFT70.

That would be awesome! I love the DM11 as a host.
I wonder if it can be made to fit without machine tools (or a new head), seeing how 0.1mm is not much.
Maybe it’s possible to grind down the top of the inductor casing just a tiny bit so it clears.
Hopefully it could also fit in a DM11 or D4Sv2 driver pocket, I’ve not found depth measurements for those.
I’ve just emailed Hank to ask about putting the Lume X1 driver into a D4K for me, he’s replied to say that he will ship accordingly.
