No 1xAA version?
Hobbs,
I can tease you all night long. But it is probably easier to tell you what I have already posted. We are planning a 2xAA battery compartment that will be compatible with our EDC Executive/Tactical (Ra Clicky) line of flashlights. It is entering production and should be available in a couple of months.
As with the R17670 battery compartment that proceeded it, we wanted to make sure the battery compartment design was solid before coming out with the other members of the family. I am sure you understand.

Henry, I understand that these 2XAA tubes can't be used with Li-Ion as it would exceed the voltage range. Could it safely be used with 2X Energizer lithium AAs? If I am not wrong, each Energizer lithium AA starts out at 1.8 volts, and two makes it 3.6 volts. Is that within the operating range of the clicky? I am almost certain it's ok but just want to reconfirm as I have forgotten what is the operating voltage for your light engine.
Tricker,
The wonders of machine shops and production... I think the shop has finally finished the pre-anodize operations and the tubes are going out for anodizing. Then there are the post-anodize operations and assembly left. We are probably still a few weeks out.

...XP-G and 1xAA?Seriously I think that the availability of 2xAA tubes will really help some people who were on the shelf about getting a HDS light. Now there really is no excuse.
+ 1 - great combo!!!I would love a high CRI with both a 123 tube and a 2xAA tube.
And every bit of it is deserved. They really are wonderful lights. Hold one in your hand and you know you're holding a quality product. Any misgivings I might have had about spending $150 on a flashlight evaporated the moment I picked it up.Seriously though, I'm in awe of the amount of praise that HDS receives.
