The 4000k HI's are very nice:)

I have no idea if I won tint lottery getting this particular 219c d4 but I am amazed by that tint. Some members have got the double click fever while I am switching this on again and again to appreciate the tint. Really close to 5600k yuji.
One feature that I'd love to see in this light is power bank functionality

The D4 is now available in Titanium/copper: https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d4ti-high-power-flashlight-p-927.html
I don't think this is a particularly good idea, especially in this light. Titanium is a crappy heat conductor and the copper head will toast your fingers quite nicely.
They do look really nice, though. ;-)

Yes very cool, not into all the coloured ones, but the plain ti would be the one. Certainly not practical, but practical can be very boring:D Besides, 3500lm in any compact light is a little crazy, might as well go one step further for bonkers:)

Ti is a horrible conductor of heat and these D4's are miniature furnaces. Looks nice but doesn't seem like a practical step.

I caved in immediately and dug out the "emergency" credit card. Bought a raw titanium nichia:D
normally regret would be sinking in by now (the looming arguement with my wife) but these just look soooo nice I couldn't stop myself

Regret will sink right into your fingers when touching the copper head after a minute on max. :devil:

Hahaha yea maybe. Moonlight it is then, lol
If you set the thermal limit to a reasonable level, there won't be any issue with titanium on the poor heat sink end, or the copper on the good heat sink end.
Either way with the adjustable thermal protection the issue will be how bright and for how long, you'll still get full power.

Ya, I don't think many of us are that worried about the heat on this one.
Love the copper /plain ti combo. And they should be a bit more durable than the anodized version.

I didn't check the link before, didn't see that the lights are actually copper And titanium, copper where the heat sinking really matters, and titanium at the ends where the dings happen, neat idea, and really pretty in terms of that sorta multi colored aesthetic. Not my thing but I can appreciate it.

what about raw copper like the olight special editions that would be better? or is the d4 such a heat monster it doesnt matter, it will get hot as hell anyways haha.. :D

The makers know what they are doing. The proof is in their products. As is being said, they are temperature controlled (and adjustable at that) but it would be interesting to compare the standard aluminum with this bi-metal tool.
We use a commercial pure grade 2 titanium sheet to cook pizza. The idea is that softer crust is better than crisp crust. Titanium will transfer heat. The Match Box Instruments HF flashlight proved that to me.

I think they look beautiful, but like the in-hand balance of the aluminum. I'll wait for reports to see if these are really nose-heavy with the copper. I sold my Astrolux quad for that reason...

Been using the nose-heavy D1S nightly with the index or third finger tip on the switch. Switch faces almost down toward ground, shock cord lanyard fitted for this grip. Anticipating similar carry for D4Ti. During cold time of year, the pointer finger should keep cozy on that copper.

Good point on the D1S balance maybe being similar. And in the interest of accuracy, it was a Manker A14, not an Astrolux that I found to be nose heavy...
