Emisar D3AA is available now

Yes, all SST-20 have higher candela per lumen than XPL-HI.

Only the 70 CRI versions of it (5000 and 6500K) have 4000+ lm output, the 90CRI 3000 and 4000K hit ~3000.

Would love to see a beam shot comparison between all leds and tint options in the same picture against a white wall at about 10 meters and label which tint is each one, that would solve a lot of questions regarding tint and leds.

Thanks!

guessing these will be available thru Mountain in time?

grateful for TKā€™s review.

If I recall correctly doesnā€™t latest Anduril have momentary strobes, etc? This will be very FUN light to play with!

The video tutorial for all the modes, tweaks and adjustments in this lightā€™s UI would be a Godsend. It would probably be a 45min, 2-part pay-per-view lol. Totally worth it, too!

-Pretty much a muggle with an I Q, uncommon sense and tools. Techno-tarded, mostly, though.

We have Anduril and of course candle mode now.
A diffuser should be made for this. Best would be short as lumintop, not as long as a convoy.

What would you like to change about it?

Yes, it has momentary strobes. Iā€™m tempted to see if I can reflash the firmware on my camera to enable longer exposures, so I can try some light painting.

TK, for light painting it seems like you could also take more than one exposure and combine them in Photoshop.

I need more time to compare their behavior. I have a few lights with varying iterations of candle mode.

~November 2018 build on a D4S and Q8 - Baseline + looks ā€œsmoothā€
1st gen D4 (V2 Driver/no fancy lockout) - higher max brightness + distinguishable waveforms of at least 2 triangle waves.
6/2 on FW3A - higher max brightness + distinguishable waveforms of at least 2 triangle waves + seemingly more erratic 3rd wave?

I cant quite tell much difference between the Nov 2018 and D4v1(V2 driver) aside from maybe a minor increase in max allowable brightness fluctuations and the occasional noticeably stepped brightness increases.

Something about the 6/2 build just makes it seem like the ā€œflameā€ is substantially more active and flickery, and that compounded with the higher allowable brightness isnt relaxing to me. I may have to reflash the older FW3A build just to confirm its the build and not the light, but I distinctly remember it looking different after the flash.

Obviously thats just my opinion though and something minor in the grand scheme of things. Perhaps its all in my head.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger one of the D4V2ā€™s. Wont be buying a collection like I did the original D4. Bet I have 20 Emisar lights.

Are there going to be other colors? Or a Ti version?

You have a problem Sir :wink:

Yes, a problem. You seem to think that you wonā€™t end up buying a collection of D4V2s. I hope your wallet has a contingency plan.

Contingency plan is to wait till next payday. As far as the Emisarā€™s go I have one of each color in the D4 with almost all emmiters. Couple of D1Sā€™s and a couple of D1ā€™s. Easy to get a dozen pretty quickly. At $35 each (Except for the D4 with the XP-L Hiā€™s) that is reasonable on my wallet. Another $15 or so for thV2 just hits a little harder each time, It will be an $70 with the XP-L Hiā€™s. . I may get 3 or so but It will be difficult to do much more due to cost. Will not happen. Really wish I could find a D4 in Cyan with XP-L Hiā€™s. If anyone knows anyone with that one in particular.

Is there the Anduril for the new MCU already online?

Ah, okay. I canā€™t say Iā€™m totally happy with it either. Those changes were mostly tested on the lantern, but I find it looks a bit odd on some other lights. I might have to figure out a way to increase the resolution somehow, like put it on a sub-ramp-level lowpass filter or something. It gets complicated due to having multiple power channels with differently-sized and non-linear steps.

Maybe I could just remove the slowest wave or replace it with something elseā€¦ not sure. The low resolution makes things look really weird when itā€™s not actively flickering, but constant movement isnā€™t ideal either.

Or perhaps I could just increase the resolution, and maybe compress the tables to reduce the size impact. It might only work on bigger MCUs.

In any case, patches are welcome. :slight_smile:

ā€¦eerrrmmā€¦. Nicotine patchesā€¦???

You speak some kind of language that uses English words but is still indisipherable TK :question:

:laughing:

Code patches.

As in other people contributing code aimed at this issue.

Lol, I have some idea of what a patch is. Was just being facetious :zipper_mouth_face:

I am too weak to say no; D4v2 ordered - went with 3000K in sand+ss.

Already have these from Hankā€™s shop:
2x D4
3x D1
3x D4S
1x D18
2x M43
