Emisar D4V2 21700

The D4V2 with 21700 tube for longer runtime. Same incredible Hank quality and Anduril 2 with 40% more battery capacity. The definitive version for many enthusiasts.

Beam profile

Flood, about 42° wide. Wide and even — light where you are, not where you're pointing.

Estimated from 4,500 lm ÷ 11,000 cd — how this works

What owners report

Emisar D4V2 21700/4 sources reviewed

The same quad-emitter D4V2 in a 21700 tube, and the longer body changes the light's character more than the spec sheet suggests: more capacity, more thermal mass to absorb heat before the driver steps down, and consequently longer usable output. If the standard D4V2's biggest practical limitation is that turbo lasts seconds, this is the version that partly addresses it.

Everything else carries over. You configure emitter, tint, body material and switch; it runs Anduril; long-term owners report excellent fit, finish and reliability, with several buying a second after the first proved itself. The friction is the same too: ordering goes through intl-outdoor with long lead times, Anduril takes a session with a diagram before it clicks, and there's no onboard charging on most configurations.

Consistently praised

  • More thermal mass than the 18650 version — turbo lasts meaningfully longer
  • Substantially more capacity from the 21700 cell
  • Same configure-to-order emitter, tint, material and switch menu
  • Anduril, with aux LEDs under the optic
  • Long-term owners report excellent build and no reliability problems

Common complaints

  • Noticeably larger and heavier than the 18650 version
  • No onboard charging on most configurations
  • Anduril's configuration menus are bewildering at first
  • Ordering means intl-outdoor with long shipping times
  • Still gets hot on turbo, just less quickly

Questions people ask

Is the 21700 version worth the extra size?
If turbo stepping down in seconds bothers you, yes — the extra aluminium absorbs more heat before the driver intervenes, and the cell holds far more energy. If pocketability matters more, stay with the 18650.
Does anything else change?
No. Same emitters, same firmware, same aux LEDs, same configuration menu. It's the same light in a longer tube.
Which emitter should I pick?
A high-CRI option in the 4000K to 5000K range suits most people — the 519A and E21A are the tint favourites. Pick a cooler high-output emitter only if you want maximum lumens.
Where do I buy it?
Through intl-outdoor, Hank's own store. It isn't sold on Amazon, and you'll be presented with a configuration page rather than a product listing.
