I’ve really enjoyed the X1S Pharos Reflector with an FFL707A 5000k. The size feels right to me. Decided to see what the closest Hanklight (Emisar) is and picked up a D1K with SFT-42R 6500k (smooth reflector) and a DA1K FFL707MD (TIR) from u/jlhawaii808. Honestly… The Green and Bronze just looks incredible as a host and I can’t get over their aesthetics but the FFL X1S is just a better, more practical feeling light and handles the heat dissipation better on turbo and high (all lights run the Lume X1 and Molicel P50B)

The photos were taken with a locked WB of 5000k but they are proceeded with overly cold color temp and saturation. They really don’t look as cold, warm, or saturated in person. (L to R) The FFL707MD 4200k definitely doesn’t look as orange, and the SFT-42R 6500k doesn’t look as green, and the FFL707A 5000k looks spot on.

I have another D1K (FFL707MD 4200k) arriving tomorrow from Jackson and I’ll be curious to see how that compares to the X1S.

• First photo: the three light sizes compared side by side (X1S, D1K, DA1K)

• Second photo: grouped for a broader size comparison (TS30S Pro, TS22, X1S, D1K, DA1K)

• Third photo: DA1K (FFL707MD 4200k), D1K (SFT-42R 6500k), X1S (FFL707A 5000k)

• Fourth photo: DA1K (FFL707MD 4200k), D1K (SFT-42R 6500k), X1S (FFL707A 5000k)
