HDS Systems #23
HDS Systems Executive NB35 with 18650 tube and black bezel. Man I'm getting a kick out of this flashlight. I remember a decade ago realizing how much I prefer high CRI lights, and now I'm having the same epiphany about warmer CCT. Edit: it should be noted, the picture was taken in the... -

Looks great. How is the retention? My fear with friction clips is that they’ll pop off when placed under pressure. Is it nice and tight? -

The NB35 is a great choice. I spent over a year debating between the NB30 and NB35, and finally pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago for the NB35. I love it. I'd call it warm-neutral. There are instances where it's very pink (warm peachy), and some where it's quite white. My HDS NB45 is my... -

Just a completely random post, but a reminder how much I love the HDS and sw45k combo. Took my terrier, Moose, out last night, and he immediately was interested in something under our porch/stoop. I thought it was one of the neighborhood stray cats, so I called Moose back and he came right away... -
Fill in the blank. "If you, you just might be a flashaholic!"
If you buy a flashlight specifically for its CRI/temperature/binning, or avoid a flashlight because of its LED’s characteristics, you might be a flashaholic.- Jeff S.

I’ve been dreaming of an HDS Systems headlamp for decades, since my first order in 2003. Fingers crossed that the new design is a modular platform that also comes as a headlamp. -

Sounds like you need to salvage the emitters by dedoming them and selling them as 4300k! ;) -
Am I crazy: frosted lens makes everything look flat
Just curious if anybody else feels this way, or if there’s even a word for it. Do you think a frosted lens make everything look sort of flat? I like a variety of beam shapes, depending on what I’m using the light for…. And I really like diffuse beams, but only if it’s diffuse by the nature of...- Jeff S.

Thank you guys. Though decisions. Just to clarify my own thinking, I do want something warm. The NB45 is my perfect overall light, and outdoors is feels so white and neutral, all the while making colors pop. I‘m looking for something warmer, something that’ll be used indoors to bounce light off... -

For those with all the NB’s, which appears more rosey between the NB30 and NB35? Which might be a warmer version of the NB45? After hours and hours of searching beamshots, I thought I’d just ask. The NB45 is my perfect LED. Love the pure tint with the slightly rosey hue. Wouldn’t even mind it... -

Boo the turn of this thread. Boo. It’s an enthusiast forum, and while constructive criticism is always welcome, it’s not fun to read through complaining posts, nor posts wanting HDS to be something it’s not. I come here for updates, questions, and technical details. HDS is always (well I... -

Couldn‘t be happier with my new NB45 and 18650 tube. The NB45/sw45k has been on my radar for a good while now, as I love rosy tints, and this doesn’t disappoint. In fact, I’d only call it ever-so-slightly rosy. Great color that looks good indoors and out. As for the 18650 tube, I’ve never... -

After way too much deliberation and overthinking everything, I finally pulled the trigger on an Executive with the sw45k emitter and 18650 tube. Thank you jon_slider and F89 for your sw45k descriptions both in forum posts, and answering PM’s. And thanks to Hogo for helping push Henry into...
