What are the differences between the D1/D1S?

I have a D1, and luv it.

D1S has a much bigger head/reflector. D1 is a more pocketable thrower.

Huge difference in throw?

I like the heft of throw in such a small package like the D1.

I don’t know what is considered a huge difference but here is ToyKeeper’s review of the lights:

Emisar D1 / D1S review 18650 Flashlights

Emisar D1 / D1S Hank of Intl-Outdoor sent me a D1 and D1S to play with, and people have been asking for a review… [image] Both lights are single-emitter compact throwers. The D1 is smaller with less throw, while the D1S is larger with more throw. Both lights out-throw almost everything else in their size class. Disclaimer: I’m not an impartial reviewer. I made part of the firmware for these lights and may be doing more development for Emisar in the future. Note 2: The lights aren’t wobbly…

Hey, thanks! Anon.

goshdogit · 2019-12-16T03:06:01.000Z

I own the D1 and D1S. It’s a huge difference.

I posted some beamshot comparisons in TK’s review thread mentioned above.

If you ask Hank about the D1S, let me know how it goes. I would be interested to buy one in grey, too…

I’ll put his reply up here.

Notice that there is no option to purchase it any longer.

From his reply…

We will have some D1S grey version later this week.

Thanks!

Yup, wanted a D1S and did not get around to it either. The new K1 looks good, but is not what I am after. I have the D1 and the D4V2 and the D1S fits the need for a little more throw with out going overboard.

Many thanks, Kindle. Did he say if he will start to produce them again or if it is a limited left-over?

wilkins1kc · 2019-12-17T00:02:05.000Z

This sounds good……I also missed out on D1S

After checking the site a couple of times and still not seeing them I sent Hank another email inquiring about the situation.

This was the reply…

Hi, F,

We have some supply issue which I’m afraid the D1S is discontinued.
Sorry for the issue.

Regards,
Hank

So as of right now it appears they are finished.

Which brings us back to the initial post….if someone has an extra they’d like to part with feel free to shoot me an IM.

I’m starting to think I should have taken yours when you offered. lol

Starkm32 · 2020-01-25T18:50:42.000Z

You inspired me to buy one from the classifieds. Great throw.

Goshdogit May have a couple more to share?

goshdogit · 2020-01-25T18:36:45.000Z

Starkm32 bought one of mine. Now I’m down to just one left.

I’ll be keeping this one.

Best of luck finding one, Kindle. The D1S is awesome.

It seems now that they’re out of production, lots of folks are seeking them. There are several r/flashlight members with WTB postings for them.

For me it’s definitely not a need. I have more throwers than I can use these days and if I wanted something to fill that exact niche I could just grab a GT Mini. The slightly goofy aesthetic of the D1S just appeals to me.

One of those WTB posts on reddit is mine (I’m Big_Green_Tick over there). lol

Me too! I only wish it had a forward-clicky tail switch in addition to the e-switch. Andúril is so nice with a dual-switch setup.

BTW, I had a GT Mini and sold it because the switch was a bit small and soft.

Starkm32 · 2020-01-27T03:14:06.000Z

It is an ugli in terms of looks (aesthetics), but what a beaut of a throw!

Blessed are deep, smooth reflectors.
