Opportunity to vote for your top McGizmo

OK - if you regularly participate in this sub forum you likely think, most, if not all Don's mainstream works are top notch, but I thought it would be interesting and fun to see a spread of favorites.

With only 10 options I have had to narrow down the field to 9 options plus an "Other". It will be interesting to see what turns up in "Other" so please post details, and pics if it is a rare 'un.

I am bound to have offended some by missing out a their favorite light and equally likely to have offended the gods of McGizmo nomenclature, please accept my apologies in advance.

Also, as we are all friends here, mostly, I've made it a public poll.

Cheers
Hods

I want one of this.. badly.

My vote goes to 'other' for the McLux III Ti for its perfect simplicity.

Oh man! now I'm confused, and potentially the source of confusion - isn't the McLuxIII Ti a TiPD (S or Lux)?

Hi Hodsta,

No the McLuxIII T is a lux3 light like a PD but twisty only. (no piston)

Ahhh - that one:thumbsup:. Thanks for the clarification and for being our first "oddball".

That's me!

I like the old school anodized aluminum McLux PDIII.

I still gotta say....LS27 for the win!

PD/PD-S in second by a frog's hair, though.

The Ti PD got my vote. Its kinda hard to choose, b/c I love all my McGizmo's.

If it came down to it and only one could stay, it would have to be the Ti PD-S. Love that light! Its been accross seas with me, all around, through the good and bad.

I had to go with the XR19 PD, but just because that's the only PD I have. All of other PD's I have handled have been at least as good as my XR19.

No Aleph option?

Sorry Beamhead Alephs/McLux IIs are in "other" unless I can find a way to edit the poll and change McLux I to II.

No worries Hodsta, its a real toss up for me between the PDxx and the Aleph. So thats my pregnant chad.

PD-S in slate black will always be my favorite although I drool for a few others.

IMO, the LS platform has set a new standard for the single-celled EDC. While the LS27 is a GREAT light, the LS20's smaller size puts it over the top for all around utility. There is just the right combination of flood, spill, and output that makes the LS20 very hard to beat.

My vote is in for the Ti PD-S. However, when the Luxeon's ruled, my vote would have gone to the HD45 w/the Lux V.

So there you have it.

They've maybe given up rule in the Land of Flux, but in TINTseltown, the LuxIII's still reign supreme! :nana: IMHO

The UV1J Ti-PD is one of my most-used AND most-cherished lights. :thumbsup:

Gotta side with my friends J'dasoyking and Dagoatee-zilla here.

Call me an old fart, but I still think Luxeons are plenty useful. The HD45 is a gorgeous light in more than just aesthetics.

My vote goes to the LunaSol 27 as I believe it is the light I had the greatest input.
