DANGEROUSLY FUN - Emisar D4V2 [In-Depth Review]

The Emisar D4V2 is an incredible light targeted towards enthusiast
flashlight collectors and users - but its Anduril interface and many
customizable options may be too much for those just wanting a
nice, reliable flashlight.

This is a very detailed review that looks at every aspect of the D4V2,
with measurements and plenty of annoying opinions - all of which are my own, I was not paid in any way for this review.

For this review, I purchased two versions of this light, the D4V2
Aluminum with a FET+1 driver and 4000K 95CRI SST20 emitters, and a
D4V2Ti with 2700K E21A emitters and a 5A linear driver. While this is a
very in-depth review, I only had these two lights to base all opinions and tests on.

These lights can be purchased from Hank's store here: https://intl-outdoor.com/
They can also be purchased from JLHawaii808: https://jlhawaii808.com/

This was a big project, I really hope you enjoy it and that you find it
