18350 in da house!

Doesn't look so different from the outside...

Can we use CR123 batteries in the 18350 tube without any kind of spacer?

Hey so on my new 325 NLT rotary, my double click flash and triple click strobe aren't working. Is this something where they are off by default?

 

[tech25]

The new rotaries come with all set to the same (rotary) mode by default.

Seems to work fine without a spacer.

Awesome thank guys. That's what I figured but wanted to ask before I go mucking around with the settings.

Btw, the NLT 325 is niiiiiiiice.

Mine just arrived, same with the 18350 battery compartment and the NLT. Definitely my new favorite outdoors. For indoors, I still prefer the larger hotspot of the Samsung or the XPL options.
Looking forward to the longer battery life achievable using 18350s, but the HDS is so efficient that running 16340s has never been an issue.

These new tube options inspired me to put a HDS Kit together. I have an executive with a 123 tube and 18650 tube. The rotary has 123 tube, 18350 tube and 18500 tube. Also included are 2 x cr123 batteries, 2 x 18500 batteries, 2 x 18650 batteries, 2 x 16350 batteries and 2 x 18350 batteries. To top it off an extra bezel w/lens, reflector, lube, o-rings and clips. Everything in one place.

Using a old Aspire 1100mAh 18350 I got 49 min on high until my first drop down, burst mode off. Batt pretty old, new probably go a bit longer.

Big box of lights just got shipped to them.

I also have a tracking number! NB27 is coming...

Now the wait begins...

That's amazing news, thanks for that Hogo. Their estimate for NLT (i changed my order since SDR50 wasn't going to come around until next year) was that they'd have them in stock yesterday. I'm not blaming you or them for the delays, i just wish they'd be better when it came to showing off their inventory and expected wait times rather than winging it and then leaving you with a feeling of not knowing what in the blazes is going on.

Just got a shipping notification for my custom Nichia lights. Thanks HDS! Can't wait.

 

[Robot Mania FU]

Got my shipping notice as well. Excited for the NB27!

 

[midget]

hello Gentlemen, I'm sorry if this question has been asked before (I did search) -- can anyone point me to the spec or source for replacement o-rings within the HDS rotary mechanism?

 

[klackey]

Very cool, I have a shipping notice too. Next week will be fun after all.
