*THE* Ra/HDS Collection Thread

[Captain Spaulding]

I only have two, but they are both keepers. The first is my 100W twisty with 18650 tube and ice blue trits:

leukos, did you mean 17670 tube? Or did i miss something, I didnt think henry had 18650 tubes yet? btw thats hot with the trits!


EDIT: oh duh, i see its available for the twisty not the clicky.. oops

Here are my 4 at the moment. 1 more in transit:

RaTwisty 100 Hi CRI, RaClicky 140 modded by TC to be Warm emitter, NovaTac 120P w/SS smooth bezel, luxeon K2 emitter and UCL, NovaTac SPA military issue.

Wow, that lineup makes me want to have one with the K2 in it too! I suppose the one more on the way is a Ti model?

i like the smooth bezel also, a nice change of pace from all of the "defender" bezels that you see everywhere, pwatcher hooked me up with that beauty.

Hmm... Don't wanna start a fire but I think Novatacs should'nt be allowed in this thread !

:devil:

My new Ra Clicky high CRI with a Maxpedition 4" flashlight sheath:



But there's a problem! The Clicky fits all the way inside, and there's not enough sticking out to grab a hold of, so getting it out of the sheath is a pain:



But where there's a problem, there's a solution, and here it is:



It's a 1/2" PVC cap. Originally I put it in the sheath with the convex side up, but I realized that the lens of the Clicky was actually rubbing against the cap, so that wasn't going to be a good long-term solution. So I flipped it over, drilled out the cap to prevent it from collecting dirt or water, and then popped it into the sheath:



Now the Clicky fits perfectly!

.....140 modded by TC to be Warm emitter.......

I Like The Tint Of That 140. Do You Have Bin Specific Details?

If You Ever Decide To Sell That, Please Put Me First In Line! :thumbsup:

Interesting point derfyled. I don't believe Henry is involved anymore with Novatac. I feel like they should say HDS or Ra on them to qualify for posting here. If someone has a good argument for allowing them, I'm happy to entertain the thought. :candle:

 

[ninemm]

Oh man. All the smooth bezel pics are pushing me closer to the edge of placing my order at HDS. So hard to try and save up money for a flashlight purchase later when there are all these awesome lights here now!

 

[lisantica]

I think it is 7A tint.
Thank you for the compliment on it.

hahaha that's harsh man! That's like saying Henry got remarried and now all his children from the first marriage aren't allowed over for Christmas. That's just harsh!:mecry:

I really don't think so. If you were to ask Henry if he felt NovaTacs belonged in this thread, I have a feeling he'd have a few choice words for you...

 

[nbp]

I'm not gonna freak out if there's some Novatacs slipping into the thread, but after doing some searching and reading I'm of the general opinion that they don't belong here, and would rather see the true HDS creations. Soo, if you've got a family shot of Ras and a there happens to be Novatac in there too, ok, but please don't post a picture specifically of a Novatac collection. That's for another thread.

Ok, that's out of the way, back to the fun stuff!

Sure looks like a 7x - nice and warm!

My new Ra Clicky high CRI with a Maxpedition 4" flashlight sheath:

Thanks for posting that! I will likely do something very similar. Generally, the Ra will be in my pocket, but when it isn't it needs to be easy to get at on my bag. That looks like the ticket.

 

[CLBME]

Please forgive the photo- here are mine.
