Color-Changing Hunting Light - Cyansky H3 [Review]
Great video, well done
Thanks, glad you liked it
I just ordered the new 4000 lumen Emisar DA1K. I chose XHP70.3 4000k. I have yet to see a review for it yet
Despite some misgivings, I just picked up both of these lights. Mainly because they're both on sale right now for 50% off. I have to say that I like them both. Yeah, the UI is a little cumbersome. But you have direct access to both Turbo and Moonlight/Low. So, the only real UI problem is access to strobe and I never use strobe so I want it hidden anyway. I like to physically lockout my lights so the aux drain isn't an issue for me. Everything else is pretty good. Love the FFL emitters and the tint that they produce. The machining is first rate. To me, these lights are a no-brainer at the price point.
My BIGGEST frustration in trying to configure the channels is realizing I have to 9H from ON! I don’t know how many times I failed to do it because I was doing 9H from OFF - and I’m not sure any of the RUclips vids really make that point very clear.
Sorry if that wasn't clear, the different config options such as 9H from on and 10H from on or off depending on the menu can get quite confusing.
More output? My D4V2 already gets hot super fast. This design isn't really mean for "high output". I think I'll stick with the tad smaller/thinner form factor. My Emisar, currently on the way, has the boost circuit to keep from such heat and output. At least than that over non boost.
Anduril 2 after the initial curse words is pretty awesome.
would you say this light is better with a fully domed or a fully dedomed mix? i'm a bit torn between getting a tint mix (not yet sure if domed or dedomed), or w1 + 519a 5700k domed
Love your videos. Helped me to decide not to get this as I don't really need it.
Buck Driver is the Best 👌 👍
90 bux to warm my pocket? Hard pass. (Do like those aux lights tho.)
Subscribed
what. it has so much technology in it
How do you disable everything and make it a dual channel light?
Does anyone know if the HD10 can fit the vapcell H10?
It can
Olight S1R Baton II and Baton 3 are my favorite EDC flashlights. My midnight blue metallic titanium Warrior Mini 2 (your favorite) is my 2nd favorite EDC flashlight. Only thing I don't like about the Warrior Mini 2 is the greenish yellow tint in moonlight, low, and medium modes. I wish Olight used high CRI emitters in their flashlights, but the general public / masses buying flashlights only care about how bright they are, how long they run, and how good they look & feel.
Hi Lux, thank you so much for your videos, they’re truly fantastic and really well made! I’ve been following you for a few months now, and I’ve watched several of your videos multiple times. Anyway, I wanted to ask for your advice. I’d like to buy my first Hank, but for the past few weeks, I haven’t been able to decide which one. I already own several flashlights, so I don’t really need something that’s highly functional, but more for fun/pleasure... I like the D3 because it’s small, and aesthetically I prefer it, a little toy to keep in the office and wherever I go; The D4v2 seems like a good compromise for performance, but then I tell myself that for a few more grams and millimeters, the D4K is worth it... What would you recommend?
The d3aa is the probably the best intro light if you want something 'fun', since it's Packed with features and is quite inexpensive. The battery options are also very convenient. The D4K gives more 'wow' factor though with its much higher output, and is the light I prefer. I think you'll be surprised by how small it still is.
@@LuxWad thank you so much!
@@marcosbe12 did you get the d4k? I have one, most of my flashlights run 21700s, the thing I value most is long run time, although I have a Sofrin sp10 pro which is a AA/14500 light, and a Emisar kc1 which is a AAA light, I also have flashlight I forget the name that runs a weird short battery a 13 something or other battery I just ordered the flashlight in this video, the D3aa
@@digginggopher In the end, I decided to treat myself and I’ll buy both for Christmas! Let me know how you’re getting on with the D3aa!
Is this something i should do with my wurkkos ts10 v2?
I would recommend it, if you watch my review of that light you'll see that it has the same problem.
i prefer 16340 but those lights are not in right now. 27 grams battery included is perfect for helmet mounted use and don't mind the 40 minute runtime that much. of course it wouldn't be too bad to configure all lights for about 2 hours sustained use and adjust the output for that number, but we're doing the silly lumen wars instead
I do quite like 16340 as well, sad to see nobody is really developing lights in that size anymore. The big advantage to me for 14500 is the dual-fuel ability.
Hello any idea why the aux lights won't shut off on my d4v2 ? I've tried bringing back 2 simple ui then back 2 advanced..7 clicks 2 cycle through aux lights and still nothing?I've also tried breaking contact with the tail cap and no luck?
Before buying this one in 2024 look at the Xtar VX4.
Your videos are of insane quality!
love the look of this and side lights but that lockout mode is a hard pass. the e switch looks nice and i probably would like that. maybe if they fix the lockout method and mode a bit more i might invest in this. I'll stick with my KR4 for now.
I've actually just removed the KR4 from my EDC rotation because I kept haing so many issues with the switch. Tail eswitches are just not reliable for me unfortunately.
This is the first video I watch from you and the videography is fire! You are the Teddy Baldassarre of flashlights!
This was super informative, thank you. Do you know if this would take an energizer lithium?
Yes, it will
Great filming btw
Is one driver 'harder' on the cells than the other?
Asuming current draw between the two is the same then no. However, drivers with a FET will pull as much from the battery as possible which will affect lifespan in the long term.
Awesome! I gave this hobby up a couple years ago when I realized how ignorant I was, and will forever be about lithium ion cells. I got so scared about them and my flashlights I literally just gave everything away for free. In doing so I lost a lot more than just a single hobby... I quickly realized I couldnt live without the utility of illumination I'd come to rely like a 6th sense. So I bought my first AA light. (I had never cared about them when I had Lithium-Ion super powers lol) A Convoy T3 with a Nichia 219b that has been my only light for the past couple years. Pretty excited that now I can finally get a cool flashlight again. And an Emisar at that! They always scares me the most lol
@bronzeback29 All my cells were unprotected except for two Olights. I had around 15-20 different lights and random unprotected cells. When I was a member of The Budget Light Forum trying to eductae myself, it seemed I was gettin a 50/50 mix of "You're fine, have fun and enjoy your lights." As well as more detailed explantions of how things really work and why I need to be careful and really understand what im doing or else danger/fire/explosion or the less excitin, flashlight or cell gets fried/broken. Which I just cant afford. All of which was just over my head. I really miss my super powers, and late night exploring. It really was a multitude of hobbies in one. My Convoy L21B with SFT40 was so cool! haha...
I ordered my first one after owning plights for car work but hate that I can’t use my flat tops on the newer lights
really appreciate the 21:9 ratio on what is already a cool video in the LuxWad cinematic review style
best ratio
Great review as always. Did you get to measure standby current?
I didn't, I'm not really able to with these dual-tube designs
@@LuxWad Oh right, forgot about that. Now I remember trying to measure the TS10 currents, hooked up to a bench power supply. Such PITA I gave up.
Wow I never even knew about the Olight battery universal battery charger. I want this now. And I like the thought of matching the batts with flashlight to charger so you can swap as needed. Thanks for sharing.
Anybody bought the clip and tried attaching it to an anduril light? I'd love something like this if it fit my D4K hanklight
The clip was designed very specifically for this light, I don't imagine it would fit around any other flashlights on the market.
I want to buy this light, but i can't find CREE XP-L option anywhere.
XP-L might not be available anymore, I recommend sending an email to Emisar if you still want them. Most people get dedomed Nichia 519a instead now.
I'm not really a big fan of 14500 lights. I need at least 18650. Most of my lights are 21700.
That pro clip is perfect for me in the trades.
Do you know if the rgb switch is always in sync with the aux lights? It would be nice to be able to configure them separately but my assumption is they are on the same channel.
Yes, they mirror the main aux.
@@LuxWad thanks!
Oh neat, this exists now. Last I heard (10 months ago), Loop asked me to help get Anduril working on it, so we started going over how to make that happen, and I haven't heard from him since. I gave him technical details on how to make the side lights work, and how to use sense resistors in the driver, and some other things, but after I brought up the GPL licensing and firmware flashing pads, he never replied. I wonder what happened.
Ugh that's a shame, the whole time I was wishing it just ran Anduril.
@@LuxWad I don't really understand Loop. He randomly sent me a $400 light for no reason, and it had big enough flaws I can't recommend it for actual lighting purposes... only as an expensive fidget toy. Then he asked for help getting Anduril on his next light, and things seemed to be going well, but then he just never wrote back. I like the side lights though. I wonder if I could get Hank to add side lights on something with a more practical design.
@@LuxWad Have you checked out the SK05 pro? Looks interesting. Or the Wuben x2 pro? Both still in kickstarter but are out for review. $49 and $39
@@ToyKeeperon the plus side, I like that loop is offering the innovative and cool clip a la carte (although it looks like the zinc version is already sold out, so only aluminum or more exotic materials are available). I'd buy a hank light with those awesome side emitters in a heartbeat!
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n Loop Gear is going to send me the SK05. I haven't seen the X2 Pro, looks like something I'd like to review on the Lumencraft channel
beam looks green as heck.
Obviously not the 519a!! Probably the Philips 6500k.
Nice review of this light. The bracket is the biggest pain point for me, it's so cool when you need it and fun to fidget with, but you cannot use the pocket clip at the same time so I am in the habit of locking it before I stick it in my pocket or a backpack. The light itself is great between the side lights and the feel of it.
Neat
Did you shoot this in Anamorphic? Or is it just cropped? Great video regardless, i have the non pro aluminum version and its great but the side lights have gotten really buggy and dont work correctly anymore, its a shame i liked the light for the most part
It's just cropped, I also added some radial blur and chromatic abberation to mimic an anamorphic lens, then added some film grain and subtle scan lines just for the heck of it. It's concerning to hear that the side lights don't work properly for you anymore :( I like the design but without those side emitters I probably wouldn't use it at all
Dang, those E-trits (that can double as a lantern) are genuinely innovative. I think I share the same views as you on the product as a whole, but I'd like to see that sort of feature appear on more flashlights in the future (assuming it is implemented well). I could see it working as a second channel or as aux emitters in a future Anduril light.
wow, that aspect ratio is even _wider_ than my wide screen! very epic
I had to put another monitor beside my computer just to watch this video!
It looks good. And I like the side lights. Possibly the best implementation of dual use I've seen. Buuuut. That driver is awful. With the good boost lights available, this is a non starter unfortunately. This poor driver performance is a common issue with dual fuel lights as well.(D3AAnot included). Would've been much better to be made for one or the other. Me personally, I see no advantage to have 1.5 V chemistry support. And that optic doesn't look like it focuses the light very well.
Yeah from the technical side it's definitely lacking, which disappointing to me coming off of tests for the D3AA and M150V3.
Babe, wake up LuxWad dropped
I'm always glad to see companies trying out new things
I have to give Loop Gear major props for being creative with their offerings
Those side lights are cool, my Emisar auxiliaries really bug people with OCD, they tell me to turn my flashlight off and that I left it on lol
"your flashlight is on" that's not on, this is: _2H at the ceiling_
Haha I get that all the time too, it never fails to confuse people 😂
Yeah, like during an overnight flight, there's always _someone_ who stops me to tell me I left my flashlight on. They don't know that "on" is its "off" mode and has a runtime-per-charge measured in _years._
The aspect ratio of this video does not support end screen elements apparently, so here is the link to the 14500 light playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLHU0ASYVVQ25L0qjWXPb03cFNyHsdWpwY

You frequently mention that you would not recommend this light to a casual buyer while simultaneously waxing lyrical about its features. You don't ever mention exactly why it's not recommended... Please let us know, why?
Because those features are too much for the average flasight user
@@LuxWad thanks for the reply. Do you mean the features are not worth the additional cost? As in, buy a convoy or some generic flashlight that's cheaper.
@@sih8283 They're definitely worth the cost, but I wouldn't recommend such a complicated light to a normal user.
