    If you like yours as much as I do mine, you'll be VERY happy with it.

    Well, my LunaSol 20 was patiently waiting for me when I got home earlier tonight. Many thanks to McGizmo for shipping it out in such a timely fashion. You rock!

    This light is definitely a piece of functional art. The flood beam is perfect for near field illumination and the throw beam is great for outdoors use. What makes it truly impressive for me is how the tints of the 3mm LEDs and the Golden Dragon LED in the center are IMHO perfectly matched. This is my first McGizmo PD light (though I own a NiteCore D10 and EX10 with the Smart PD system) and IMHO the original is still the best. Plus, the tritium vial in the piston is a great touch. Overall, just an awesome light.

    I am sooooo glad that I was able to get the LunaSol 20 before this wave ended, especially since McGizmo has mentioned there are no present plans for another run.

    This is my second McGizmo light (got a Sundrop via B/S/T as my first McGizmo earlier this year) and I have a feeling it will not be my last. I still have the Haiku on my wish list and I still have hope that someday my Sundrop can be upgraded to a Sundrop 3S...

    Hoping I made the cut......resisted for as long as possible, then saw something that said there weren't too many left. Had to jump.

    And to bring expectations down a notch, mine had 5 or 6 scratches that represent tool marks!

    The LS-20 was my first McGizmo. Since getting the LunaSol I have been gathering up McGizmos as they become available on B/S/T. I also picked up a Sundrop and a Haiku from Don. My collection currently stands at LS-20, Ti Mule, Ti PD-S, Ti PD-S-27, Sundrop, and Haiku.

    The LS-20 is a compromise light when compared to these others. The PD-S has a better beam pattern than the LS-20 on high. The Haiku is brighter and has a better tint than the LS-20 on high. The Sundrop has a better MUCH better tint than the LS-20 on low.

    That said... The LunaSol is the one McGizmo I will never sell. It is the flashlight that I carry every day. Engineering is always about compromise and I think that the utility of a low flood and decent high throw is wonderful. I have also discovered I prefer the elegant simplicity of the piston over a clickie. I think the only light that would replace the LunSol-20 would be the LunSol-20-version2. That would be a future light when high lumen high CRI LEDs are available. I would love an LS-20 that has the high CRI of the Sundrop with the lumens of the current LS-20. We are allowed to dream are we not?

    Whoever gets these last two will not be disappointed.

    -Charles

    P.S. You may see some of my McGizmo collection on B/S/T down the road but you will NEVER see my LS-20 there!

    Or a Ti 27LT.

    I have no intention of ever again selling an LS 20. I have two mint jewels from this run and they are NOT going on the market...ever. Next to the PD, it's the greatest EDC of all time. Bar none. Folks, if you're on the fence about snagging one of these last two, you'd better get your a_ _ off and take one. I guarantee you won't be sorry.

    Two left and no definite plans to make more . . . wow. One of the very best EDC's, STILL available straight from Don. This whole wave has been one long incredible and unusual opportunity. In many other circumstances, this wave would have sold out much sooner, I suspect, but either way, we're talking about the same amazing light. Still available. I wonder who will be the lucky last two? Heck, I have an urge to buy another LS20 just 'cause, just on principle! LOL!

    Me three....

    Mine arrived yesterday. All the praise is warranted, and the element of compromise as well. The finish is smoother than my Haiku so it feels different in the hand - warmer almost (and it is not just the ribbed Clickie body vs. the milder PD).

    The low is a nice flood - I am one of those who might want it a little lower. High is brighter than the Haiku on Medium. The tint is cooler than the Haiku which looks a tad green in comparison but great by itself .

    I am traveling for the next week and will try it as my EDC in foreign lands and report back.
    Will work for lights.

    bust1216,
    E-mail received and you snagged the last of these.

    I do plan to assemble one more wave but it is probably a couple months out. Components need to be ordered.....

    Congrats to all that snatched up one of these supreme EDC torches. The PD/dual beam goodness of the LunaSol series is indeed hard to beat for daily carry.

    That is GREAT news, Mr. McGizmo! Hopefully I'll be building a bridge, so I can afford to catch the next wave. My unemployment check just don't stretch faaaaaaar enough to encompass a McGizmo, darn it.

    Blast it...I was hoping there would be a couple of left by the end of this week when I come into some disposable income. I'll have to count my pennies until the next wave.
