Hey buddy. I suggest you put in the battery from the tail instead of the head, much easier. Plus it's way better to mess up the threads on a tailcap instead of the head, much cheaper replacement. Awesome video though, this is the best color temp of the e21a imo.

[@TheFossilChannel]

Thank you I decided goin through the tail cap is better too after some consideration. I do LOVE the temperature tint ! Thank you for the help and suggestion!

[@jasonbaker2341]

@@TheFossilChannel After you mentioned your FW3T I realized why you tried from the head. Emisar doesn't have the Lumintop tail cap problems.

[@braindamage_eclipse]

Have just gotten into looking at these kind of lights, your demo of doing some of the UI manipulation made a lot of sense out of some flow charts for me. Amazing to me that there is an open source flashlight o.s.

[@TheFossilChannel]

thanks cm! yes Toykeeper does a good job at programming some of these lights and updates them from time to time.

[@NoTySir]

Really enjoyed the concise and clear way you delivered the technical specs and demonstrated navigating the UI - awesome video and gorgeous light!

[@TheFossilChannel]

Thank you! There is much to cover with this light. It is a fun a great one!

[@tomasdeleondominguez7693]

Really good looking high performance light. I have version one in aluminum. In copper it is perfect for heat dispersion and long term use. I do not find it expensive given what it does.

[@hksjoshua]

I Love my d4v2 Ti/Cu, I use a pair of vtc6 batts and I personally replace batteries using the tail cap.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

Ive never owned a D4 but ive had my eyes on one for a while. Great body on this one.

[@TheFossilChannel]

This is my first purchase and I love it so far. I really am starting to enjoy copper lights more and more.

Great video 👍 I have the Ti version with XP-L HI V3 3A, 5000K and that sucker gets hot fast on turbo 🔥. Definitely don't need turbo om that thing. I just got the 3500k E21A Grey aluminum version today and it's definitely a better setup for a DD. That's my first light with those LED's and I'm really diggin' it 👍

[@williamjohnson7414]

I have the D4v2. It's an awesome light. So in copper it's double awesome! NICE review!

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

I ordered an E21A 2000k/3500k combo and I can't wait to get it! The 2000k is as deep as fire.

[@TheFossilChannel]

thats cool man! i would like to get a more auburn tone in my lights.

[@shadowmaster8020]

Btw, you don't need a 30Q for the nichia E21A. The Samsung 35E provides enough for the E21A. Also that looks sweet! I'd love one but I don't think I could justify the price (for the copper). You can now flex on other people lol. Nice review as well.

[@TheFossilChannel]

Thanks! I took your advice and went with the Emisar Brand. Oddly enough I use most of my lights in kits. These copper ones are being used now to reduce transmission of germs. I will have to hold off buying lights for now.

[@jmbnorth]

Nice light. Great options. I’m going to pick one up. 👍👍

[@laurievalori4547]

Great video, thanks for including the ISO you used, only vid I've seen do this, just to confirm are you at iso 2500 or iso 400 when recording your nighttime beam shots?

[@TheFossilChannel]

iso is 2500 at night time. otherwise it is back to 400 or whichever is stated in the video description.

Great looking light. Trying to figure out what one of Hanks lights I want in e21a 2k. Thanks for the video.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

The NOV-Mu 21 x E21A's has a very powerful output and quality tint but it does flicker on low levels

[@TheFossilChannel]

ive noticed mibe barely lights up on the lowest floor setting and sometimes doesnt even turn on unless i set the floor to the second lowest setting. regardless i love this light.

[@G.B.A9067]

THATS A BEAUTI

[@TheFossilChannel]

yes

[@CamRStanford]

I just ordered a D4V2TI blue swirl with a cyan button and a 6500k sst20. I've got a blue tritium on the way for the tailcap. This is going to be so sick. It's a shame i can't really find anywhere selling regular glow tubes in any color but yellow. And no ice blue tritiums ANYWHERE.

[@TheFossilChannel]

Things are much harder to find and prices are waaaay up. good luck my friend.

[@boogaloo_7662]

This is the exact configuration that I am getting with this light. I was going to get the E21A 2700k but think I will go with the 3500K instead.

[@TheFossilChannel]

the 3500k is the sweet spot. i have the kr4 and use that now too with nichia 219b 3500k and w1 osram 6000k dual channel setups.

[@boogaloo_7662]

@@TheFossilChannel these lights are addicting lol. Once you have one you want them all.

Good video, thank you. My comrade today showed me the same flashlight and i liked it, so I decided to watch some reviews. Greetings from Russia

[@TheFossilChannel]

thanks my friend. this is a fun light.

[@ensom]

Excellent video, great videography that is well produced / balanced! I am curious, what color did you choose for the button leds? Amber, or warm white? Ordered a D4v2 Ti with E21A 3500k .. hope the button is same tint as yours, I picked warm white but not a lot of pictures / examples that clearly compare the button led tint.

[@TheFossilChannel]

i picked warm white so you are in luck.

[@ensom]

@@TheFossilChannel awesome good to know, appreciate it!

[@veg3tabl3]

Dumb question but will I have to worry about setting stuff/pockets on fire with this emitter like other options?

[@TheFossilChannel]

its not a dumb question and yes, this light can get very hot!

[@1jfresh715]

Can you tell me if this is the Antique or Raw copper? Would like to know the difference so I can place my order. Thanks!

[@TheFossilChannel]

there was only a "copper" option when i ordered this almost a year ago. im not sure what the difference is?

[@1jfresh715]

Ok..thanks for the quick reply!

[@z06fan3411]

That should be the raw copper. The antiqued is all patina.

[@lightweaverx4381]

Sweet light

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

Do you know why the d4vs switch lights up when I turn the flashlight power up past like halfway?

[@TheFossilChannel]

my guess is that the switch light needs a certain threshold of voltage to activate the higher brightness mode on the switch light.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

@@TheFossilChannel I had thought maybe it was the halfway point between high and low but I wasn't sure.

[@rd1026]

fyi these should come with floody optics

[@avgrim7729]

What color button? Warm white, cool white, or Amber? Which driver did you pick?

[@TheFossilChannel]

warm white is the button color

[@TheFossilChannel]

ea2100 leds forgot which driver comes with this one its been awhile

@@TheFossilChannel I got Amber button last time with my TI this time I'm getting warm white, Cyan with Nichia 519a and the newer more efficient boost driver.

Does it spread heat better than aluminium and it is cooler in hand?

[@TheFossilChannel]

yes it dissipate better because copper is a bit better are dispating heat than aluminum. weighs alot more though

[@lightweaverx4381]

Are you using a non-frosted optic?

[@TheFossilChannel]

yes. it is non frosted. i did order the nore diffused optic too
