    Zebralight Reliability

    My SC600 flat out died after my 6 year old son dropped it less than 2.5 feet onto hard packed dirt. I watched it happen as we readied to go trick or treating at a friends house last Halloween. No visible damage. Outside of the 12 month warrantee so pretty much SOL, Luckily I had a HDS in my...

    *NEW* Surefire Titan-A (1*AAA, 15/125 lumen)

    I got a chance to briefly play with the 125lm version when stopping by the Surefire office this afternoon. However, I'm not sure if it was representative of shipping models as the sales guy borrowed one from a tech inside (they didn't have any in the showroom). Construction seemed very nice...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    Here is a question I don't think has been asked. Is there any hardware differences between the emitter section of the HDS clicky and rotary or is it just software and the body/tail? With this talk of Henry reprogramming light's, I'm wondering if I sent him a the cash, my 120 HCRI clicky front...

    Is your H502W tint very cool?

    I just received a H302W for xmas and after briefly throwing a battery in it at the party it also seems remarkably "cool" in tint compared to my previous "neutral" zebra lights. In fact, I had the exact same response as you (assuming that they must have mistakenly sent me a "cool white" model)...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    Is the diameter of the internal hole of the Moddoo Clip smaller than the internal hole of the stock clip? I tweaked a standard clip for bezel up carry (shortened it and re-bent it) on my rotary and needed to create a mini spacer to keep the clip from squishing out to one side when tightening...

    A quick observation/question regarding beams and reflectors on the latest batch of HDS lights. I noticed that Hogo's video on bezel swapping shows a reflector that is machined down on the back side. To my eyes, this looks just like what bansuri did to seat the reflector a bit lower to improve...

    I do! :-) In my mind, the "perfect beam" is a sign that the light was made with care and precision and, given that it is what you see every time you fire it up, it is a constant reminder of the "blood, sweat, and tears (or engineering, precision, etc.)" that went into it. For instance, I view...

    The beam on my Nichia 219b from the last batch of Rotary's (May of this year) shows considerable tint shift towards the corona and the shift is almost exactly what I see in most of my Neutral XM-L lights (and is why I still prefer the XP-G's). In fact, the beam profile and tint shift from...

    Back to the issue of pocket clips, and clips for the rotary for the moment. Does anyone know how the bezel/lens assembly is put together? I'm aware that you can purchase bezel's, reflector's, and lens' separately but before I go twisting and pulling I figured I would just ask here. As I was...

    Remember that the HDS decorative clip has pretty much the same short "lip" as the standard clip, and I've found that to be a shortcoming when compared to the Dark Sucks Clip. I have, however, gotten into the routine of squeezing the stock clip between my thumb and index finger (kind of a...

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    I've got to agree! Although I finally got used to the the "pinch" technique that works with the stock clip, sticking on the Dark Sucks clip and having my HiCRI clicky easily clip into pockets with no extra work is a real joy. I also just received my first rotary (neutral 170) and am loving the...

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    I'll just speak for myself as a long time lurker but infrequent poster. I have amassed 30+ lights since becoming a member here that range from relatively inexpensive to "mid range" (a half dozen Surefires). I started chasing lumens but quickly became focused on tint and UI. I had been very...
