When did you order your HDS?

[DrewDT]

So we are down to about 4 months now?

It depends upon what you order. I am still waiting for my 200 lumen clicky ordered June 2012.

Thanks for the post. I ordered by 200 clicky in August.

200's must be harder to procure.....and that's what I want to order.

I'm not sure if they are more difficult to procure or if a decision was made to do a large production run focusing primarily on rotaries at this point.

 

[Grizzman]

I prefer the former....first ordered, first delivered.

Hey, hey, hey!!! They both just showed up together - a clicky and a rotary - both hi cri 120

and yes, they tailstand perfectly - which was something I worried and worried about

I am so happy :lol:

Ahh... how much I envy you. I also ordered December 2012. Ordered the standard, 200 rotary (silver bezel, flush tail cap). I sent him an email asking about it and he told me that he's still waiting on parts but expects them sometime this month. It seems like a lot of Hi CRIs are going out. Either way, they're being shipped!

Ordered a clicky today! The waiting has begun!

Ordered Rotary HCri today. Henry said this model waiting time should be shorter when compared to the Rotary 200 version.

 

[doctordun]

Has anyone asked Henry why the 200 is taking longer? A supply problem or engineering problem?

Received my Hi Cri clicky today, ordered 1/17/13

This gives me hope the wait for my Hi CRI won't be too bad -- ordered early April 2013.

I ordered an HDS EDC LE 120 on the 24th of September and was sent an email thanking me for payment and indicating the wait time was eight weeks.

I finally recieved my HDS May 2, 2013.

I ordered item ECD-E1S-Hcri, the EDC High CRI, 120 lumens, silver bezel, flush button model on February 1 and received it on May 2. It's my first expensive flashlight, and perhaps the most intelligently designed thing I own. It's best points: the beautiful natural color of the light it emits (at precisely the levels I want), the even circle of the beam with a brighter center and even transition, the many useful functions and intuitiveness of the controls (which make better sense after playing with the actual flashlight), its high-quality feel and low-key, tool-like appearance. To me it's definitely worth the money, and would've been worth a much longer wait.

I still don't see any Rotary 200's in the latest mix of lights received in a more timely manner............

That's the same light I waited 14 months for, and I feel the same way about it.
Welcome to CPF!

I ordered a hi cri rotary in mid February, hoping it will arrive soon. Birthday is coming up, that would be a nice happy birthday to me present!:devil:

Was told mid may by Henry and have a feeling he is going to deliver this time. It's been 11 months now and am really keen to get this thing! (170 tactical )

 

[shudaizi]

It does appear that tempo of deliveries has picked up. That's a good thing. But, of course, it also means that the suspected immanence makes the days seem to go by slower too. Or, at least, that's how I experience time when I'm actively waiting-with-hope (as opposed to passively waiting-with-resignation).

[dajab77]

Hope you get your light soon. I can't figure why at this time they are not cranking out lights at a faster pace. I'm still riding the bench until it looks like turn around time picks up. Props to all still waiting. They are exceptional lights.

Ordered a rotary high cri last November and he said it has a chance of coming first part of June.
