No official info yet but this is what I found on a Chinese flashlight forum, apparently they are doing a beta test and only a handful of these are sold through private channel.
Basically this light is designed just like M43, with "extreme" in mind. This thing is insanely overdriven, 4 Nichia 219C = 3000+ lumens on a single 18650
But yeah, we all know the turbo mode isn't exactly practical. That said, no one is buying a Noctigon light for months of runtime eh? we have Zebralight for that.
Size:
Length: 93.8mm
Weight: 66.8g
18500 and 18350 battery tubes available.
Update: Noctigon's owner sends me the manual for the D4. It's in Chinese so my translation might not be entirely correct. It looks like the light will have the Emisar branding instead of Noctigon but they still call it "Meteor" in Chinese forums anyway.
Manual:
LED flashes twice when tail cap screwed on with unprotected battery in.
When in infinite brightness adjustment mode, LED flashes once to indicate firefly, low and turbo.
Press & hold for over half a second for firefly
A single click goes to low (110lm by default, I assume this is for the XP-G2 variant?) or memorised mode
Double click for turbo (double click goes to turbo in every circumstances, with lockout being an exception)
Press & hold to enter infinite brightness adjustment. release & hold to decrease brightness (I see TK saying this mode has a ~2 seconds memory that resets the direction but the manual I was given doesn't mention it)
Additional features (LED flashes 4 times = activated, twice = deactivated)
Voltage check: Click three times and LED flashes. Basically works the same as the Nitecore equivalent. e.g. LED flashes three times, pause then seven times means 3.7V. Press once to exit.
Temp Check: Double click two seconds after Voltage check is on. Works the same way.
Tactical mode: 4 quick clicks to activate. Press & hold for turbo. Nothing else. 4 quick clicks to deactivate.
Lockout: 6 quick clicks to activate, 6 quick clicks to deactivate. (I still suggest a physical lockout though)
Beacon: 8 quick clicks to activate. Uses memorised brightness.
When completely cooled down, 10 quick clicks & hold the 11th click performs a tempcheck. LED continues to flash for a few seconds and goes to turbo. Press & hold to increase temp regulation value, default it 45C to a max of 70C. LED flashes to indicate the temp set.
D4 can only maintain low mode when battery voltage is at 3.2V, turbo can only be turned on for a few seconds. Low voltage protection kicks in at 2.8V and D4 stops working completely.
Below are beam shot comparisons, starring the D4 and Nitecore TM36:
