NovaTac 120P w/SS smooth bezel, luxeon K2 emitter and UCL

That NT with the smooth SS bezel looks familiar... ;)

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:
Ehh, more like saying that Henry got remarried and then found out that all of his kids from the previous marriage were actually the mailmans kids.
Since we're talking about a line of lights he designed himself, then realized he had a better way of doing things I'd say his first crop of kids (Novatacs) turned out to be less than what he'd like people to remember him for and set out to raise the next ones better (HDS/Ra) so that they were a bigger benefit to society.

Very nice bigfoot! Isn't the high CRI great? And I still dig those AlTiN bezels, super stealthy. I kinda wish I had gotten one of those on my custom 140...oh wait, I did. Pete has it now. :nana:

I'd love to order up something new, but for now my collection is a party of one:

EDC Ultimate 60 #1692

This is before the darkzero mod which included a high cri warm white seoul and McR reflector / glowring.

Maybe my next should be a Ra clickie dressed up to match this one...:devil:

Yeah, I did, but now it's in Australia as a result of trading it off to get my Ti Clicky! :p

My other Clicky is a 170, I thought it would be a different pic to the usual

All shot using my Fuji Finepix S6500fd

I really hope Henry will release a newer, brighter (200 lumens+) version of the HDS EDC soon .. I will be all over it! :bow:

My small collection started with the HDS EDC Ultimate 60 and later added an Ra Twisty 100 TW (#835) and an Ra Clicky 140 Cn (#6042). :devil:

Nice and not at all outdated... It's rare to see one with a stock bezel. This might be the only real ''weakness'' of that model. Don't drop it ! I'm sure it will serve you well for a couple of decades !

Bought this AF-S 16-85mm for my D90. First attempt with it. There's a ton more detail in the shot, but the required sizing reduces it drastically. Anyways - my twins.

Some additional shots of my HDS High CRI Clicky. Took a photo with the light on default "medium" mode, pointing at the map, to show how it renders colors so well.
