Great video, well done

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.

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.)

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?

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?

Is this something i should do with my wurkkos ts10 v2?

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

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.

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?

Great filming btw

Is one driver 'harder' on the cells than the other?

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

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

Great review as always. Did you get to measure standby current?

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

I want to buy this light, but i can't find CREE XP-L option anywhere.

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.

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.

beam looks green as heck.

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

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

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.

Babe, wake up LuxWad dropped

I'm always glad to see companies trying out new things

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

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

I just got my d4v2 from jlhawaii I'm still waiting for my two d4sv2's from hank the d4v2 is 3 press and hold for special modes strobe ect so 3 press and hold is different on 2 channel lights ?

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?
