EagleTac Clicky Ti

[shelm]

non-technical questions beach honda

what'll be your intended use of it?
- actual serious use
- EDC
- shelf queen
- sell off
- show off
- conducting tests and measurements
- or merely fiddling and playing with it lol

and your preferred (intended) carry option?
- loose in the pocket
- clipped to chest pocket of a shirt or jacket
- on bunch of keys, keychain
- belt carry with provided holster
- with lanyard packaged in a bag

Overall impressive product or meh?

[beach honda]

Intended use: EDC which will see some harsh conditions such as oil, grease, sand, mud, and some salt water. No shelf queens or toys in my arsenal .

Preferred carry option: Mostly clipped inside pocket with a small stubby lanyard attached. May see some holster use depending on conditions.

Overall impression of light: I tend to shy away from Chinese lights but for the price, this is one that has value and quality written all over it. YMMV

For the intended use you could have well bought the aluminum D25C Clicky (or Mini) instead *g*
Would wonder how such a tiny shiny polished baby holds up during serious real life EDC..

My intended use will be for showing off purposes and wowing people (with LiIon) at nocturnal barbecue parties

[beach honda]

I like aluminum, don't get me wrong. But the benefits of titanium under harsh use conditions is ideal. I don't care so much about the shiny factor, it will look stonewashed soon enough. You should have seen my old Ti pd-s and Ti clicky.

Beach Honda, If you have time I would love to see a photo of that beauty standing next to a D25A Ti twisty if you have one ;-)

U2, the T6 is just too yellow for me.

[gsxer]

It's here but getting ready to go to work will open it later.

[HighlanderNorth]

Its almost 2pm, and the mail guy STILL isnt here!

[biglights]

Man that sucks, my mail arrives in the same time frame everyday. Give or take 15 or 20 minutes.

[EspionageStudio.Com]

Highlander, that is torture of the highest degree...I feel your pain man!

[biglights]

The treads are pretty stiff, what is the best lube for this kind of light?

[cbr400rr]

Got mine in today!! Nice little light. Now I just have to wait to play with it tonight!!!

[HighlanderNorth]

The mail guy finally came at about 3:00pm, so I got my lights.

I agree about the threads not being so great. Mine wanted to strip on the tailcap end, and the washers fell out, and the switch isnt attached, and it was very tight, causing the threads to want to strip again. Then I noticed you can put the batteries in through the head instead of the tail cap, and it has longer threads, and doesnt have washers or switches falling out, so I think its better to install the batteries through the head.

As far as lube, you have to use the right kind. I used a little bit of soy based, thick lithium grease. But not much, and I didnt get it on the battery or anywhere other than the threads. Thats important. I wiped off any excess lube. But to be honest, I am not sure that lithium grease is or isnt the best lube for this type of situation, but it has worked for me, and I use lithium grease for all kinds of stuff, with no problems.

I would love to see a photo of the A and C models side by side if any of you lucky dogs (wont get mine until monday) have the time.

Anybody try an AW IMR 16340 with the D25C XMLU2 Titanium Clicky yet?

The aluminum D25C using an AW IMR 16340 has a 10 lumen Low mode and a 750 lumen Med, Hi, and Turbo mode.

Does the Titanium model driver give a 200 lumen Medium and/or a 400 lumen Hi mode with Li-Ions?

I have 2 Soshine 16340's that have never been used, and are fully charged. But I wanted to make sure that using a 16340 is OK before I do it. Is it for sure?

Using the Cr123 these lights have many brightness settings. I have found 4 so far, but there is a moonlight mode somewhere too.

Yes, let us know if you get distinct brightness levels different
than the last column on this chart using a 16340 (RCR123).

The aluminum D25C uses the A950RC circuit,
and the titanium D25C uses the A950RC II circuit.


Edit: Highlander reports his D25C Titanium using a 16340 is like column 2. Anybody else?

[EPVQ30]

my views on the light are in par with the other members' opinions. hopefully i will flip this light for what i paid including s+h.
my 15 dollar 1 mode rominsen rcc3 r2 serves my the micro cr123 compact purpose. in reality, i have to edc something bigger.

[shelm]

using a 16340 is like column 2

in other words, with Liion we can produce
0.2lm
11lm
770lm

That's a total of 3 different brightness levels as opposed to "5" (moon, low, med, high, turbo). Note: Since in reality the MED's are slightly different, we get 6 different brightness levels with CR123A as opposed to "5" or "7" (Hi2 = Hi1).

Well, 3 is better than 2. And 3 is for sure better than 1 (=direct drive on all modes). And none of the blinking modes is lost with LiIon's. Altogether not perfect for EDC (with LiIon) but not too shabby in my books either.

[beach honda]

So does the general consensus of owners reflect a positive note? I think my light is fantastic. how did anyone unscrew the tail end of the light? I would never have tried to replace the battery any other way but unscrewing the head.

Any other impressions?

[biglights]

Yeah I think it is a very nice light, I have the D25A. Other than the stiff threads, which I ordered some grease for, I haven't seen any problems. (thanks beach honda!!) For a single AA this is a very impressive light!!! I wasn't expecting the walls to be thick like my titanium jetbeam, they are not the same light. At a third the price one should not expect it to be.

[shelm]

anyone wants to share a photo of the threads or the wall thickness (close-up, zoom)?

[EspionageStudio.Com]

This is a bad example from my phone of the d25A http://db.tt/AglUT8Iz

[beach honda]

I am interested in performance and durability reports.
Pictures are nice too!
