    Maui time (Pictures) - 3

    Don, It's been a long time since I last visited. It's wonderful to see you still at it! I gotta ask a question - have you considered having a book, or two or a dozen, of your photography published? The quality is as good as anything I've seen and I have to think they would be very...

    Maui time (Pictures) - 3

    I'd give $100 to know what Friendly was thinking when she swam up to you, Don. By now, she probably thinks you're a normal part of her environment, which has got to be the highest form of a compliment to be found in the natural world.

    Hey, Don. Any idea what the yellow pencil dude is? If that's its mouth on the left, he/she looks to be ideal for feeding in the nooks and crannies of coral.

    McGizmo UV light

    I have an Haiku-UV and it works well for curing NOA61.

    Nice upgrade to an already great light!

    Wave of Makai 6V (2x123)

    Exactly my thoughts as well, except that I would add a Sundrop 3S to the perfect combo formula. I can't imagine a use that I would have for a high CRI version, given the significantly lower output of today's CRI sources. My Makai 6V is so close to my CIE D65 backlight that I wouldn't be able...

    Titanium Makai

    I woke up early this morning, about 2 hours before sunrise, so I decided to take my Makai 6V out to try my 200 yd torture test. I wanted to see how it compared to Don's last real "throw" light, an Aleph 3 2x123 DB917 Lux III TXOJ. Using my equipment (5% error), the A3 puts out 61 calc'd lumens...

    My Makai 6V is my 15th McGizmo designed and built light. It is par for the course for Don. He simply has unbelievable skills in the art of design compromise which lead to highly functional, clean lights. Regarding my Makai 6V... On two new Surefire cells, I measured 10 calc'd lumens on low...

    Glad to see the 2x123 "swell" body back, Don! It wouldn't make sense on the 2xAA body, but for reasons not related to logic, I missed the swell on it nonetheless.

    2 x AA McClickie Pak> Wow!

    Boy, PSM - you sure are late to this party! :poke::nana::D I keep my Haiku on my 2xAA w/Eneloops for atound the house use. It's a great looking combo, as has already been mentioned. I don't care for it as my EDC, so the Haiku XP-G 1x23 is still my primary go to light.

    LunaSol 20, LunaSol 27

    Tough choice. I only have 3 Busses, and I'd be very hard pressed to give any of them up.

    Titanium Makai

    X2 on everything! I''m glad you finally let this cat out of the bag, Don. It's been 5½ years since you sold me my first McGizmo, a custom green swirl Aleph 3 2x123...what's that, about 3 generations of LEDs? I still love the output of the Aleph 3/McR-38/LuxIII, but the idea of being able to...
