If HA does become available all I would really care about is that they make more then a dozen.some of us are on a budget and miss out on them 30 second sales.

I know I said I didn't want to buy a new light until the new driver arrives (if/when) but I'm still down to get in on this run if/when it comes. and as thermal said; hopefully it won't be a 30-60sec sale. I already missed out on all the diffuse reflectors.

I have seen some but apparently come at a premium. I will definitely keep an eye out for a fair deal though. one will turn up sooner or later...or Hogo will hopefully make more runs when they get the time to do so

I got a blue one for about retail, and an orange for slightly more than retail. I just saw another orange go for a very good price. They're out there. ;)

Re: HDS Spring Cleaning

Don't get your hopes up for natural ha, it's going to be a 30 second sale (tiny batch)

10yr anniversary light sounds compelling too... here we go again.

I could use another light with sw40 r9080 though

I know, I just wish more of them were going to be made so we all have a chance. You will just have to make sure you are the quickest draw on sale day

Re: HDS Spring Cleaning

I'm happy that the NA run is still a few months off. That will give Mrs. Flame time to recover from my recent knife plus sharpener spending spree. I could use another sw45 and I'd like this one to be special. I hope the anodizing doesn't match!

this is an understatement. I'm pretty sure there is WWAAAY more interest in natural HA than there will be available lights

Re: HDS Spring Cleaning

I'm even interested in it and I have no interest in special run lights. I just love natural HA

Re: HDS Spring Cleaning

I don't own any natural ha lights....so put me on the list please...LOL
As mentioned before (i know you can't) but I'll take a light that doesn't even meet the hds standards.

I'll also be on the look out for the 10th anniversary edition....maybe a special metal worthy? Please no black aluminum for the 10th anniversary light

Couldn't agree more. So the color is a little or hell a lot off. Idc.look at Surefires. Not a single one matches and I'm pretty sure they sold tens of thousands of them.hds just needs to make it perfectly clear right from the beginning that there WILL be color different and that is that. Also if a part of your light needs to be replaced that WILL change your color as well. they then need to set up a separate folder in there email labeled "Whiny" where all the complaints can go automatically and move on and make um. PLEASE

LOL! I like it but I can guarantee we will be inundated with "my tailcap doesn't match" and "my battery tube is lighter than the head" etc. etc.
Someone might even post here unaware that they will be beaten down mercilessly by those who don't care about matching! LOL!

There are just some things so painful, Henry doesn't want to do them again. Cerakote for example. It took 10 years for him to agree to a titanium run, and then some other poor slob had to run it. I've brought up just running HA and let them be mismatched, but even my powers of persuasion (relentless begging) has been ineffective.
