Any HDS Twisty News?

May be that is construction dependant:

"The HDS-70-Tr does have two LED dies - one to generate white and one to generate red."

I would have figured it would have been accounted for in the design process.

Olaf,

Great pictures! The pictures showing the led through the front of the lens have been long awaited.
Thank You

I am still dying waiting for the delivery of my lights from Battery Station:scowl:

Someone do me a favor and tell me what kind of LED that the 70 uses and what make it more durable than the Seoul.

I am going nuts waiting.

I am pretty sure it's a Osram Dragon LED. I don't know any other details, but it would be interesting to know what makes it more durable.

 

[RainerWahnsinn]

This could be an early note to the type of LED.

It is a P4 Seoul. This was disclosed in the market place thread. When I visited Henry's booth at SHOT (actually he shared a booth), he told me it was to be a Seoul P4, mostly because of the reflector he is using.

It is a P4 Seoul for both 70 and 100 lumen model. This was disclosed in the market place thread. When I visited Henry's booth at SHOT (actually he shared a booth), he told me it was to be a Seoul P4, mostly because of the reflector he is using. He has always rated his lower lumen lights as more durable.

It can't be a Seoul P4. Henry mentions the Osram Dragon on his website in the Articles page.
Take a look at the LED, it's a dual LED (white + red).

+ under beam profile:
100 - wide beam(SSC P4)
70 - narrow beam(Dragon ?)

 

[Bullzeyebill]

I stand corrected. My conversation with Henry must have only about the non red models, and I never asked him about the red Led model. Confusing.

Any one know what happened to the pic of the Twisty and a Novatac?

 

[FrogmanM]

Thank you for the pics Olaf_S!!! I think some people might be put off by the "donut ring" that the low red mode produces. I find this unfortunate because its such a USEFULL feature! When you need to perserve your night vision, a low red ring seems to work better for me, rather than a low white that is concentrated. I'm still trying to work out the hidden program mode, no luck so far!

+1 for HDS Twistys!

I finally got anxious enough to email BatteryStation about my Ra order. This was the response of 10 minutes ago.

We are shipping about 30 of them tomorrow. Assorted models. Should see another 50 next week. We should have all backorders done in a few weeks.

BTW, I didn't get my order in until 1/17/08, so there will be alot of orders filled before I get mine.

 

[discoverEDC]

I didn't place my order until 3/29/08, middle of May for me perhaps

Anybody take lux readings on the 100TW?

Yep, May 2009...

 

[Valpo Hawkeye]

I just received my ship notification! :twothumbs My order date was 12-11-07.

 

[thermal guy]

Man mine was placed 11/9 nothing yet. I have the 70 tr so maybe just the 100's are shipping.

 

[Not So Bright]

I ordered a 100-TW on 12-13-2007. I did not get a ship notice from Batterystation and my CC has not been charged.
I guess they are not shipping in a first-come, first-served order.

 

[Valpo Hawkeye]

Oops, I just re-checked my messages. I ordered on 12-11-07 and sent the money on 12-12-07 (I prepaid).
