You had me at “New Emisar”

vresto:

Power source? 26650?its bigger…

Looks more like 3x18650

Nice!!!

Does it come with a deep carry pocket clip?

AlexGT · 2019-03-14T06:31:40.000Z

Ouch!!! That thing looks sharp…!!! I really don’t like it there, why not make a hole on the opposite side of the switch in one of the fins???

Wow this is the new ‘noctigon meteor’ to beat! I don’t see it on intl-outdoor.com but this is looking to be very amazing!!

Looks good - Aux LED’s?

Looking good! I think it might use 18650s… The body tube looks quite thick with that lanyard hole

The reasons were discussed in Q8 thread.
Most cheap can-shape flashlights a machined without threads synchronization. I.e. switch place is milled with separate machine or separate setup and have random position relative to the threads start point.
Battery tube is made with same way.
As result you have random angle between switch and tube flatness.
In Q8 design this problem is even bigger than ever, because tube end forces down the driver pcb so tube angular position depends from driver thickness.
Using combine machines with minimum setups can fix this problem, but sometimes design is not suitable for this.
If flashlight have a removable tail cap (as Q8 have), a spare lanyard ring that can freely rotate looks like cheap and easy solution.

Well, I guess that cat is out of the bag…

I should have one to review sometime soonish. I also have an incomplete prototype strictly for firmware development. Just finishing up the last few details now, actually. I don’t think I can really give any extra details about it yet though.

What I can say is … it’s really bright. Like, really really bright. I can’t even measure it properly, because it’s way more lumens than I have equipment for. It’s like a Noctigon Meteor M43 but a bit smaller, a lot brighter, and with the Emisar UI people liked on the D4S. So if anyone was wanting a “Meteor 2”, this is probably for you.

Famous shower head flashlights are back, jupiiii

oweban · 2019-03-14T08:27:08.000Z

… and just when my MF01 arrived

VrestoTaylor · 2019-03-14T08:31:54.000Z

I guess 4x 18650…

ROT66 killer/

Agro · 2019-03-14T11:10:45.000Z

Would be interesting to see it next to ROT66. I suppose it’s larger?

ROT66: head 49mm, body 45mm, height 110mm, 3x18650

D18 is shorter and thicker at the head. Body is similar.

dave101, I don’t have any aircraft hangar bulbs or 30,000 lumen mega-flooders to compare against. But the D18, even in an incomplete dev kit form, is easily the brightest flashlight I’ve ever tried. It won’t be suitable for lighting up an entire hangar, but it sure gives a bedroom a surreal holy aura. To get an idea what it looks like, turn on 15 to 20 60W-equivalent light bulbs all at once.
