    Watch where you buy batteries from!

    No, not legitimate based on my limited experience. The genuine ones I purchased from Mountain differ from these images of cells I posted from an auction as a heads up: 1) The small sticker should have a purple background graphic on it, not seen in the first image but shown in the closeup. 2)...

    Watch where you buy batteries from!

    Hello all! Sitting here waiting for my Emisar D4 XPL-Hi (out for delivery today) to arrive! Trying to stay occupied, was charging some cells and saw that you can check for authentic Efest products online. I went and G**gled Efest Purple and got a few links. Mine were bought from MtnElectronics...

    Emisar D4 Nichia

    Budget Light Forum! Thanks for the link to the review. Another source for information to absorb! I see that it says:This driver also has low-voltage protection. At 3.0V it’ll drop to the lowest level, and at 2.8V it’ll shut itself off as far as possible. It still has a very small amount of...

    Emisar D4 Nichia

    Just received my D4 Nichia! Props to Intl-Outdoor for the very speedy shipping! Awesome little light. Versatile UI, I like the level of user configurability. It is bright and hot! And I love the CRI of the Nichia emitters! In hand, it feels like half the length and weight of my Fenix PD35Tac...

    Saving on house lights electricity by using an LED flashlight

    Our neighborhood grocery store has LED lighting on motion sensors in the frozen food aisles. Great idea and so simple to implement! Going to have to try using my torches more around the house. Robert

    New member intro and first question

    Mine was not too bad at $58.94, 2 day free shipping via Prime. I have owned it about 2 weeks. Last I looked, it was up to $68. Checked again tonite, it is $71.95! Not sure why the price fluctuates so much but glad I got in at a good price. Its is a solid, consistent and well made light…at least...

    New member intro and first question

    I am excited to get my D4! Are the 5K Nichia the same in both the aluminum and Ti versions? I hope so! I plan on using it on low to low/mid levels mostly. Light Quality, like the sound quality of my car system, is the goal. So much to see and so much to learn in here! Looks like the Efest...

    New member intro and first question

    That is the perfect description for a flashlight newbie like me! Kind of like normal BMWs vs the M series or an AMG MBZ vs their standard offerings. I like enthusiast level equipment. I have a 2kw car audio system consisting of many little known items from the 90's on. Strictly SQ/sound quality...

    4 X CR123A battery tube for inside flashlight?

    I have not actually measured the batteries but how about something like this? They could be slit down the length to fit also. https://www.mcmaster.com/#plastic-shipping-tubes/=1bayxkm Robert

    New member intro and first question

    I think I should rephase my statement to read "I am more familiar" with tailcap switches. The incoming Emisar D4 will be my first dip into both the side switch and Hi CRI worlds. At this rate, a ZL might sneak into the mis in the near future! Robert

    New member intro and first question

    I agree! D4 definitely stands out in a crowd. Cold War era stark, simplistic, functional build? Yeah! I'm in! I also enjoy the vehicles from the 40's/50's/60's for the same reasons. I like the odd and unusual…I drive a Gen1 Scion xB. The toaster, refrigerator, box…the names are many. It is...
