THE Best EDC Flashlight (YOU NEED THESE!) EMISAR D4V2

[@JuiiceTheBox]

into the rabbit hole i go!

[@TheRealBigJake]

Jackson has the best support I've ever seen from a flashlight seller! The E21A version is my absolute favorite 👍

[@lightweaverx4381]

And they just started including nichia 219b emitters too. 219b CRI is a few points lower than e21a but the 219b puts out 200 more lumen per emitter and the one I got from Jackson has the coveted rosy tint at 4500k. The noctigon e21a 4500k mule Brian reviewed earlier has a very slight rosy tint. The d4v2 e21a 4500k has a slight but absolutely beautiful yellowish tint. It is just pure class of light quality and no gimmicky pulse width modulation in any of them emisar or noctigon. If you want the best light quality emisar and noctigon serve that on a silver platter. The e21a 5000k I'm sure is a fine light to use, but it falls out of its CRI spec quickly at medium power and higher. Important info for someone wanting classical nichia cri. The 5000k may not be what you want.

[@TheRealBigJake]

@@lightweaverx4381 Yeah I need one of the 219b versions now 🤪. I have blinking flashlights everywhere already 😀

[@lightweaverx4381]

It's really great outdoors. The CRI, rosy tint and the extra power over the e21a.

[@brokenlegz]

@@lightweaverx4381 did not know the 219b was brighter than the e21a, I see what the fuss is about now! 219b throws better too yeah?

[@lightweaverx4381]

@@brokenlegz better throw I'm not sure but more power yes. Plus e21a is likely going to come with frosted optics on an emisar or noctigon. With more power amd clear optics the 219 can throw farther but as far as the led being designed better for throw I'm not sure.

[@robd003]

There's a third option that is both high CRI *and* insanely bright, the SST-20 4000k

[@lightweaverx4381]

Those are throwy too. A nice outdoor ct and with some throw. Tint is where nichia separates itself from the sst emitters and the e21a 2700k through 4500k do still have a higher CRI. That sst outdoors is a great light though. Powerful and CRI.

[@LocoDirewolf]

That's the one I have

[@kleinbottled79]

And then Nichia released the 519a.

[@ensom]

these lights are an incredible value, such high quality. i have two d4v2 titanium versions, and an aluminum d4v2, all with the Nichia E21A emitters. My favorite is the E21A 2700 k color temp.. wonderful warm tint, the CRI of the E21A is awesome, beautiful colors, wish all my indoor lighting was of such quality.

[@mr.workhardplayhard6550]

Picked up three different models this month alone lol ....all are awesome in their own right and his build quality to price point 👉🏼 is just phenomenal 👌🏼 👏🏼 🙌🏼

[@avgrim7729]

The 519a was suggested to me by Hank. 2300lm and high CRI.

[@JanJelinekHB]

I have D4V2 with xpl-hi 5000K. It is superbright well-made flashlight 👍

[@brokenlegz]

The 18350 batteries will only be as bright as the 18650 batteries if they have the same amp output. A popular battery the Samsung 30Q is 15amp and the best 18350 I could find only does 10amp. With an sst20 or XPL emitter (like in the video) I would want a 15amp battery for the insane turbo. If your 18650 is only 10amp then it would be the same output as the 18350 but it means you’re missing out with the 18650 and it could be brighter!

[@james10739]

Infinity setting this sounds like some marketing i have lots of flashlights with anduril and have never heard that

[@LocoDirewolf]

It also comes in a mule version (8 LEDS, no optics) that's insane. It's purely a flood light, virtually no throw, but it will bring sunlight to your working area. 😁

[@jamesmyname]

Very timely video! I just decided last night to finally order one. Well, actually I need to decide on options first. Leaning towards SST20 4000k.

[@fynanceguy]

You will have more CRI with this LED vs the Cree. Just have to make sure you get the right bin for your SST20 4000k. I have the D4V2 SST20 4000k. It is slightly greenish in tint. I heard other bins don't have that.

[@jamesmyname]

@@fynanceguy I've been wrestling with the potential tint issue. I hate green. I asked yesterday and they said the bin is FD2, which per the data sheet should be ok, I think. Worst case I'll get a minus green filter and apply that. Do you know which bin you have?

[@fynanceguy]

@@jamesmyname I don't. I buy from Jackson Lee. I would ask him which LED bin does not have the green tint. You can also get the Nichia e21a LED flashlight which supposedly has a slight rosy tint.

[@WorkshopAddict]

@@fynanceguy I have links to Jackson's store in the description and he is also who I deal with. Great guy.

[@Taras-Nabad]

Agree, it is the best EDC.

[@404notfound.....]

We have a couple of different lights mainly Fenix, jet beam and acebeam. The fenix PD35 recently died but the other lights are still going strong years later.

[@jmbnorth]

Looks like a great light. I like the different size setup. I’m going to give a try. Thanks for the review.

[@WorkshopAddict]

You bet

[@lightweaverx4381]

So Hank did a thing to the d4v2, d4sv2 and the kr4 quads. Dual channel tint ramping AND tint switching in the same light. What this means is you could order a quad with say, osram w1 emitters on channel 1 and xpl hi emitters on channel 2 and now you have a light that can instantly switch from a thrower to a flooder and even switch to turbo with both channels running max at the same time. Or you could say order a high CRI light with samsung or nichia emitters on channel 1 and sst20 4000K emitters on channel 2 and have a high CRI flood thrower combo. Or you could have red, blue, green or yellow osrams on one channel and white on another. Or if tint ramping interests you then you could say get a nichia or samsung 2700K on one channel and 4500K on the other channel and ramp between the two for whatever color temperature you wish in between them, and of course run both channel on max with turbo... The possibilities are endless..

[@WorkshopAddict]

That is pretty cool.

[@lightweaverx4381]

@@WorkshopAddict yep. He just made me spend a couple hundo 😁

[@IsraelMagalit]

Just ordered my 1st Emisar today and it's a D4V2 thrower-flooder combo. Probably the last flashlight I'll ever need (famous last words! 😝)

[@mr.workhardplayhard6550]

Have ordered 3 (various models) this past month because of allergies the options!!! And the build quality for price is just phenomenal 👌🏼

[@blemuzik2090]

@@IsraelMagalit which emitters did you go with?

[@olhesty2196]

The burn thru paper one is a great survival tool

[@justsenditbro]

NOTE EVERYONE THE CAMERA DOES NOT DO THESE LIGHTS JUSTICE THEY ARE MUCH BRIGHTER IN PERSON! I HAVE ONE AND I LOVE my Emisar D4v2. Amazing light for its size. Only wish it had usb C recharging. It's great for around 300 lumens regularly and you can WOW people with its crazy turbo lol

[@livedeliciously]

519a is coming soon. This will likely be the defacto emitter for awhile.

[@freddiedash3248]

When are those gonna be available?

[@livedeliciously]

@@freddiedash3248 They are available now.

[@freddiedash3248]

@@livedeliciously thanks I just went on site and found is that his latest version . Is 3500k somewhere in the middle. Sorry what is dome or dedome mean Im trying to narrow down decisions I’m just learning edc lights

[@livedeliciously]

@@freddiedash3248 Dedome is when you take off the lens covering the emitter. It makes the tint a little rosier and the beam a little floodier at the cost of max output.

[@hansginzel5973]

Thank you. Is there a 21700 version?

[@renosgarage7451]

Yeah d4k

[@jeremyburris4890]

I gotta have one of these but i don't even know where to start with all the options lol.

[@WorkshopAddict]

If you buy one from JL Hawaii, he will walk you through it and there are many that have tutorials on KZbin. Once you set it up how you want it, there is nothing to it.

One, two, Harbor Freight. 😂

[@GatCat]

Ah, you lost me at harbor freight and cry baby. I’ve got an Emisar D4v2 XPLHI, and mine gets insanely hot at turbo in just 30 seconds. 4300 Lumens.

[@WorkshopAddict]

It's CRI Baby.. ya know, the cri value of the led.

There is no t in emisar

their website is so bad. so cluttered and totally user un friendly.

Meh, I over paid for that light too and mine sits in the drawer. Not a big fan of that light.
