    HDS Systems #23

    These lights don’t demand high current, so I would go for the 850 mAh for longer runtime.

    Beryllium Copper Rotary Anniversary Run

    Last year I got: Bronze: 151.7 g Brass: 166.1 g Both without batteries and with sapphire lens. I'll pull out the scale to re-measure those, but will also include BeCu, Ti, and Al. Sorry I don't have an all-stainless handy.

    HDS Systems #23

    The good news: My Titanium Ra Clicky SN# 10002 (which a number of people have owned) shipped out from HDS on Monday and made it back to me with modernized internals and the SS40 emitter. It's great! The bad news: My BeCu Rotary seems to have taken a detour in the wrong direction halfway across...

    The HDSRB Project

    I should say that I'm very happy with it so far during the daytime. Hopefully I'll make it out with the dogs tonight. Also note: Lubrication of the O-ring really helps when screwing it all the way down. White wall hunting shots : Left: Nichia Mahi, Right: NB4 w/HDSRB Left: NB4, Right: NB4...

    The HDSRB Project

    My first impression in hand was that I had received the right thing but the wrong size. They're (relatively-speaking) tiny! I didn't have an HDS nearby to adjust my size expectations. This was quickly rectified. I grabbed 2 High CRI NB4 200 lm 18650 rotaries so I can compare side-by-side. The...

    HDS Systems EDC #22

    I noticed the Specialty lights moved to the custom page; and that Amber and Red emitters were marked as limited and then disappeared. I expected the Amber option to be limited, but was wondering if you had any info about the future of red. Will the Specialty lights be available more like the...

    HDS Systems EDC #22

    Today I received my new-to-me Ti Clicky 10002 from TheJlew85. I've wanted one forever, but never seen one in person. The knurling is great. The tiny hotspot of the 170 lm Golden Dragon is nice along with what seems to me to be perfectly even spill. Now I need to decide if/what it should be...
