    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    Say, is the lettering on the bezel lasered/engraved? Do I need to worry about it chipping off?

    Biggest edc light you carry

    At work we have tactical pants for our uniform which have a dedicated 'cell phone' pouch or whatever you could call it. My Sunwayman V10R, and currently my HDS sit in there nicely. When I'm off work I find, in jeans, where I already have my left pocket dedicated to my phone, my right pocket...

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    So I've received my High CRI rotary a day or so ago and have since customized it as follows. I enabled customization and left it in that mode. I'm not worried about someone checking out my light and doing a triple-click-hold then cycling through settings and doing a click hold within the...

    When did you order your HDS?

    Rick Hinderer XM-24. 4" S35VN blade. Spanto, flipper, orange G10 scale. Weighs 7.9 oz and can cut apart an M1 Abrahams! It looks the size of the 3.5" para2 and sebenza because its in the back.

    When did you order your HDS?

    It came! Almost eight months to the day 8/17/12 bigger and heavier than I figured. I was really impressed/surprised that it came with a duracell cr123 inside so I didn't need to steal an rcr from my sunwayman or 4sevens mini 123. Going to check it out in the yard tonight. Everythings blooming :)...

    Recommend 1-2xAA light for my father for christmas

    Well I found a Preon 2 High CRI titanium / black edition from amazon. Its just so nice looking, one I'd like for myself! How about that for a total switch, but I realize now that running alkalines (he won't mess around with rechargeables) and the ability to clip into a shirt pocket should be the...

    HDS - High CRI vs 200 Lumens?

    this may be merged into the hds thread but if i recall 130 high cri to 200 would be one perceptable 'step' in brightness. Im sure someone will clarify but you need a 40% increase in lumens to be perceptably brighter. So as you go higher lumens you need a whole lotta lumens to look brighter...

    Recommend 1-2xAA light for my father for christmas

    Thought id ask those in the know. I typically only have rcr li-ion lights. My dad has a crappy lantern sears type incandesent and a 3xaaa 5mm door gift light. Id like to get him a one or two AA alkaline light with mutiple modes, possibly a rotary if it fits my $40-60 target price, preferably...
