OK, I know there is many different configurations for the McLux PD's. I want to know how many different ones there are out there, colors, coatings, drives, emitters, bins, clips, bezels, etc..... Give a brief description of your prized PD, and by all means, post a Pic if you have one! Custom PD add-ons welcome too!

From standard to outstanding, I wanna see 'em!!!


Got a special PD??? Share here!!

I'll start. Here's a Ti McLux, standard drive (530/30) T-bin, and a Chrome PD, standard drive T-bin.

Interesting thread PSM, but I cannot offer a picture with anything better than the above, what a great shot. I have exactly the same, except, my III-T is a U-bin.

Anyone?

Here's one of mine:

Chrome UY0J running what I guess is a custom drive level Wiz2x2. Its definitely not the standard 500ma/30ma. On a R123 it draws from the battery 610ma/40ma and on a primary CR123 890ma/50ma. I'm guessing it's driving the LED in the 750ma range on high :shrug: .

Well I have a standard looking PD.
But if you look carefully at the pic below
you will see a few mods.
clip.jpg


First is the stock clip that was re bent and given a satin finish.
The brass piston has been lightened and given a 'Flat' top that is very easy on the thumb.

Click here for details and pics

Also the head has a replaceable heat sink similar to the McLuxIII Ti for quick and easy Lux exchange.

Polished Ti clips. Man what a pain in the ***. My shot dosen't do the polishing work justice.

A spesial buddy of mine carved this clip out of a gunk of damascus steel for me as a supirse. Once again the icture dosen't do the clip justice
It is a beautiful one of a kind clip. And I have the only one.

I hear ya. Those Ti clips are tough to polish to the mirror finish. Also high maintenance, as the polished clips tend to scratch easily and you end up re-polishing....

I don't think I want to polishing another one ever again......

Well... I bought this some time ago, but just finally picked this up over the weekend.

UX1K, stock Wiz2x2 driver ~ 30/500 mA, H3, both bezels and new TI clip, and I believe it's #7 in the lineup.



a regular black T-bin PD, with H3 installed by Morelite, both bezels and new TI clip should be coming tomorrow when I go to customs to claim it =P

Thanks PSM! :) It's certainly one heck of a beauty! :thumbsup: I'm still wrapping my mind around owning it! :drool: :grin2:

The T-bin will be my daily EDC though... this one's just a bit too special to be jangling around with my keys! (especially with its typeII anodize) =P

Yeah, I know what you mean. Thats why I have 2 Chrome PD's. The T-bin is a safe queen, while the U-bin chromie PD is in my EDC rotation with my Ha-Nat "Nitrous version" PD, and my Ti McLux.

But you gotta carry that swirly PD on special occasions, in a empty pocket of course! :sssh:

:grin2: I already have plans to accost M-thew to make me one of his creations in electric blue to protect the swirly PD for EDC ;) :naughty: :laughing:

in fact... my electric blue frog sock does fit it, but i prefer the added security of a holester :thumbsup:

Got a couple of nice ones myself. Just picked up the blue/green swirl today. I left out the "common" HA PD, just shot the two specials, both UX1K's. :grin2:
