This a new addition to my collection, though not the first I have owned...
The McGizmo XR-19 is a small pocketable, 1 battery, LED light. It's powered by a single CR123 Lithium battery(I haven't used RCR 123s). It's made mostly of Titanium; the outer body, piston sleeve, pocket clip(+ screws) and bezel ring. Titanium makes for a quite useful material for an EDC light as it's hard wearing and looks good IMO
.
The light in some detail-
Cree XR-E LED (unknown type and bin, but fairly warm)
GDx2 converter (low - 25mA High - 525mA)
Twist for level(low first) or press piston to access either
...err thats pretty much it
I like this light, a lot in fact, I had one I loved, traded it for something I wanted(McGizmo S-27 PD) and then sold that to buy one back
I use it as a bed side light most nights, with around 18(?) hours on low the output is useful for reading, I used to use it for dressing for work in the small hours, its more than adequate on night eyes for search tasks.
Runtime on high is around 90 minutes on a CR123.
This thread's a good starter for info on McLux III Titanium lights its by Kiessling a regular McGizmo expert and collector :thumbsup:

and some pics...
with a £1 for scale
glow ring's a nice touch
This is my old one but illustrates the main parts well, piston, head and body
if you still want more there are some of my last XR-19...

and beamshots from left to right, Raw NS (Cree XR-E), XR-19 and M273 (3 x Seoul P4)
Thats about it, if you want me to add anything,
thanks, Ian
