    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    Thanks for your responses, dudes. I will give HDS one more solid go, when I get mine back, I'm going to put it through the ringer and hope that it doesn't fail again. The worst thing would be for it to fail when it's the only light I have on me.

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    I must have some of the worst luck in HDS lights. I ordered mine Nov 2011 and my order was finally sent out a few months ago. The first package got lost in the mail after many weeks of waiting. Another replacement was sent to me shortly after but it had a really big switch problem and I had to...

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    What emitters are the 170's using now if not the Golden Dragon? Question for you HDS users on here: I received mine 2 days ago and I programmed it and it was working fine until the switch started failing. I would click it and hear the click and it would sometimes not turn on/turn off and PHR...

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    Thanks! Mine is a Tactical 120 model. I really love the throw of these Osram LEDs, I haven't set the light down the whole day, the light is just amazing to hold. I don't think I'll ever go back to head-twisting UIs.

    Foursevens Preon P0

    Lol, yeah, but I figured that I'd rather void it and make it work rather than keep sending it back and forth to USA and be without a light 2 or more weeks at a time.

    Foursevens Preon P0

    Received my RMA new Preon today and noticed dodgy operation once again with the new one. I removed the foam ring this time and covered the PCB in an epoxy-like glue but made sure the contact nub was uncovered. It seems to work very well now! I don't think I'll try eneloops though, the nipple...

    Foursevens Preon P0

    Bad news :( My Preon 0 just died today, worked great for about two days, it just stopped working out of nowhere today. It would only go onto moonlight and the head would head up significantly, wouldn't change modes. After waiting a bit, it stopped working completely. I've been using the stock...

    Foursevens Preon P0

    Re: Preon P0-SS ... a new 1x AAA light ©2012 by 4Sevens!!! Received my P0 today in the mail and have been tinkering with it. I like how it looks and how solid it feels for such a tiny thing. I have it on my keys now and it's quite a nice addition. Mine works flawlessly with alkaline cells but...

    Totally dig that pic of the grip ring Predator! I placed an order for the new Predator, cannot wait until it ships and gets here. Looks so badass!

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    I originally had my 120T ordered from Thor's custom leather with a custom holster made too (Dan's a great guy to deal with, got a discount on a holster and shipping is cheaper than HDS intl.). Then after I realised there was an L.E. model, I changed it to the 120 L.E. Dan tells me we're waiting...
