    *** Beta Magnetic *** NEW for 2020

    Good evening, I just got my light in the mail. Is there anyway to activate the light with the quick disconnect still connected? Like if I use it as a keychain light and want to use it still connected, can I turn it on? Or do I have to disconnect? Thanks! Zack

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    I have not been on here for a while but while reading this article(with my Rotary in my pocket) I could not help but think of Henry. I think there are some interesting parallels to be made between Henry and this tailor. I thought in the context of comparing it to Henry you guys might find it...

    Why are flashlights so interesting? Why are LED flashlights a hobby?

    :crackup:Awesome! That sounds too familiar.

    HDS Clicky 140, 200 & N170 Low Mode Runtime Tests

    Will these runtimes be relevant to people with rotaries? Or is that completely different?

    Truelight 3 pack with 150 lumin CREE XP-E

    Mine still work great but they honestly don't get much use except for loaners. I was at Costco yesterday an saw they updated the packaging and emitters! Ha ha! They now use xpg's and claim 200 lumens with all the same runtimes. For another $15 I picked up a set. Couldn't resist honestly. I...

    Is anyone interested in a Nichia 92 CRI 4500 K HDS light?

    I feel like the real kicker on this light becoming a reality is Henry's willingness to redesign the reflector for the Nichia led. I image he could quite easily switch emitters but I would think the light would require a newly designed reflector to optimize the beam profile of the Nichia led. I...

    Is anyone interested in a Nichia 92 CRI 4500 K HDS light?

    I'd be in for one of these as well. I'd love to have the new nicha in a rotary with my warranty intact! :-)

    New Energizer L91's State They Last 9X's Longer?!

    So it says they last 9 times longer in digital cameras depending on the camera compared to energizer Max. Lol I also noticed the Energizer Advanced are now claiming to last 5 times longer than Energizer Max.

    New Energizer L91's State They Last 9X's Longer?!

    So I ordered some AA Energizer lithiums from Amazon expecting to get the regular 8x's longer. Well, actually I intended to order AAA's but that is besides the point. I got the batteries and instead of being the regular 8x's longer they claim that they last 9x's longer?! They claim to be improved...

    What makes HDS lights so good? Low lumens & quite expensive for their size.

    The other day I was running late and I was looking for my Rotary and I remembered that I had thrown it on the bed. I pulled the covers back quickly and my HDS flew across the room(about 15ft) and landed on the wood floor. I checked to make sure the floor was ok then I picked up my HDS and left...

    Keychain Flashlight....fenix E05?

    I like to give them as gifts because they are small enough that people will leave them on the keychain and actually use them. They are super durable(that is a biggie for me) and as mentioned earlier they provide enough light for 95% of tasks. I personally carry an LD01 though. A little longer...

    Has your Fenix LD01 blown on a 10440 ?

    I looked mine up and apparently I have an XP-E R3? Does this even exist? Is it current controlled? It was sold as an R2. I only run eneloops in it. It is my first real flashlight. I got it in December 2010. It is still performing flawlessly. I am curious about the higher output but I don't think...

    Foursevens Preon P0

    I have not read this thread in a while and i have not read the entire thread but it looks like there has been an update to the P0. Has it been confirmed that the P0 can be used with eneloops? I received my second P0 on 2/12/12 after my first was either DOA or broken immediately due to the use of...

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    I set mine on my nightstand with the locator beacon. I used to have a black nightstand and this was almost too difficult to see for me so I would set it on a grey piece of paper which was better than white as the white reflected too much light. I now have a darker stained wood nightstand and it...
