Don changed to the 8-flute design with the Ti PD-S, saying that it improved grip more - I agree to a certain extent. This has taken the 6-flute design into a "classic" design, and for one reason or another is more desirable/collectible by some. :shrug:

That said, I don't really prefer one over the other as far as function goes - I do like the look of the 6-flute more, but that's a personal opinion.

So your question - good/better/best - not sure if I answered it, but I tried!

Why do I like Don's flashlights, and why do I have so many?

The short answer is that it is an addiction.

I like the McLux I TK because it is one of Don's earlier designs, and shows a lot of aesthetic sensibility in a simple design of ordinary materials. It is one of my favorites. I very much like the modular design and aesthetics of the Aleph. The 27LT has great utilitarian value in a pleasing body. The McLuxIII T (Ti) has a lot of sentimental value being, to my knowledge, Don's first Ti flashlight offered to the general public (correct me if I am wrong). I recall that Don felt compelled to justify the price. The PD flashlight, by embodying the beauty of simplicity, functionality, visual appeal, and a perfect beam, elevates the art to a new level. The Mule EN is small and lightweight, attractive, and has terrific flood, and is particularly nice with the GDuP LE. I like it a lot better than the black version.

If I could keep only six of the flashlights , I would choose the McLux I Tk, almost any Aleph 3, the McLuxIII T, the McLuxIII PD 24kt gold, a PD Ti S27, and the LunaSol 27.

Which flashlight do I like the least? The HD45.

What would I like to see next? A LunaSol with two levels for the flood LEDs, and two levels for LED using the reflector, each operating independently (for example by the six LEDs operating from a two level clicklie tail and the LED in the middle being a two level twisty). I have no idea whether that light would be technically feasible, or desirable to many, but it sure would serve a lot of purposes.

I have been buying lights since November and my first one was a:thinking:



Mcgizmo Ti s27pd

Then I traded for a

Mcgizmo Ti PD-s


Then I was lucky to get a

Lunasol


I loved the Lunasol so much I bought another.

My one and only is a McGizmo Aleph McClickie-Mule with the black oilcan finish. It is currently empty, waiting on the GDuP driver boards to become available from the Shoppe. It should be sweet once it is done.

UH, NO!:nana:

Actually, I wish she was that clueless! Now, every time I try to say we don't need this-or-that, I hear something along the lines of "OK, Mister $250 dollar flashlight man".

What's that saying? Better to ask forgiveness, than permission?:shrug:

What SWMBO doesn't know won't hurt me! Yeah, she knows about what I spent on a couple, but for the most part lights are like my guns - she knows about them, just not exactly how many I have.
