I have 2 D4's and find them to be a great little light. I jumped on the D4S, should be here in a week or so. Couldn't pass it up for the $.

OK I finally did it! This will be my first 26650 light, something I've been wanting for a while now.
Got it early! Battery arrived at 3.93v...charging now. The tailcap magnet on this thing can probably pull dents out of a car body! Nice quiet switch, decent threads, good anodizing. This is my first experience with 26650 sized lights, and I gotta say this one is the perfect size in your hand. The gray color is really nice.
I pulled the battery off for a minute since I couldn't wait. AMAZING tint as expected. The UI isn't as difficult as I thought, as long as I don't get into the details. Very Zebralight-ish. I like it!
p.s. I forgot about the aux leds! Had to get into a dark room to get the full effect. SO COOL!!!!
Congrats mark!
Nichia C?
More pics please
It looks awesome! Are the aux leds bright enough? Are the aux leds always on when the light is off?
CPF isn't the right target audience for relatively unknown brands like Emisar unfortunately, even if they're amazing lights. BLF has a huge thread for the D4s and other lights like the ROT66 and new Haikelites.
They're always on at their lowest setting by default, at least mine was. You basically have to put it right on your eyeball to see it in the daylight. The higher setting is much more noticeable, possibly even used as an extreme moonlight mode with night adapted eyes, but I can't say for sure yet. Or you can just turn them off.
Here are the aux leds on higher mode. Lots of ambient light shining into this drawer and they're still easily visible.
I've been following BLF closely. After the large amount of D4 talk here, I figured this would be twice that. The tint on this seems identical to my Eagletac MX25L3C. Obviously that would be more practical if using on high since it hardly gets hot, but of course they are two completely different animals.
The eagletac has the SW45K D220 binned Nichia 219Bs right? That's very nice if these 5000k 219Cs look just like it. My previous experience with 5000k 219Cs was with a Manker E14, and they were greenish, so I hope I can strike big with this one.

Yes.. aux leds are always on when the light is off.. it is bright and there are 16 of them... you can adjust the aux leds too. Off, low, high, and beacon.
