Convoy T3 vs Emisar D4K

“When leaving the park today, I reached in my pocket to grab my keys and noticed I didn't have my green T3 I was carrying. I dropped it in grass, and I spent a good 10 minutes looking for it before It got too dark. This is a custom light with the 5A driver and FFL351A 4000k rosy bin. Being in the US, I can't get another one of these (at least not within a reasonable price) so I really wanted to find it. I came back after dark with my D4V2, lit up the whole area on turbo, and found it immediately by the reflection in the reflector. Good thing I had another light otherwise I would have been out of luck!”

“Short answer: Yes. Yes they do. Longer answer: Their build quality is amongst the best out there for enthusiast lights. Great anodizing quality and colors. They offer mostly their own line of emitters, most below duv, as well as some popular mass produced emitters (Luminus sft- series). Their built in chargers are the best quality built in chargers available, last I heard. They tend to focus on the 21700 cell size but they keep a fantastic compact design for such a large cell. I believe all of their current generation of lights run the Anduril 2 UI. Some highlights to look at: e04 Surge: my pick for best all around enthusiast light out there, at the upper limit of pocketable but with a massive “floody thrower” output. My pick for neutral CCT emitter for the Lume X1 (boost) driven version would be the 5009r 4000k ($5 extra for the custom pick) and the Lume1 (buck) would be the sft42 6500k. X4 Stellar / X4Q Comet: one of, if not *the* best enthusiast 21700 EDC out there. The Emisar D4K is great too but I think the FFL wins for build quality, the D4K wins for emitter selection. Choose the X4 if you want the charger, the X4Q without. The one I don’t own yet but will soon: the e90 Blaze. Ridiculous searchlight thrower.
