Quicky pre-review photo-op session!

lux........ LUX?.... put the clicky down and get back here
from Part 2, post 350
170cn runtime to first drop: 43min on old unused Chinese Battery Station cell that read inconsistent 20% to 40% on ZTS tester.
I re-ran this test with a Surefire brand cell, exp 2014, that read 100% on ZTS:
170cn (120lm steady) runtime to first drop.
SF Primary = 73min
:twothumbs
Other runtimes I've listed in previous posts:
Note: my WF139 charger charges to between 3.15v to 3.18v
Runtime on 170Cn (120lm steady) with a well used yr + Old AW black label RCR123.
1st test = 55 Min.
2nd test = 63 min.
Runtime for 100ww (71lm steady) same old AW black label RCR123.
1st test = 48 Min.
Voltage on removal after several drops to about 10lm = 3.24v
Can you post a pic with clip installed?The clip makes a light that is already on the large size, just too cumbersome.
This caught my attention. While I had my Clicky, I never noticed the locator flashing any differently from my NT, but then I never really compared. I wonder if what you're noticing is a very subtle change or if the new models have a slightly reworked flash to make it less jarring. I don't know why I never really thought about it before, but a locator that smoothly ramps between off (or nearly off) and the normal (or slightly less) flash output would be much less irritating in a dark room. It'd be like the Mac breathing light, rather soothing.The best part is locator flash--it's dimmer than the Novatac, so in the daytime you hardly even notice it (as it should be). It's also not as short-lived as the Novatac's blink; it smoothly comes on and then off instead of an abrupt flash.
There's a whole thread pretty much devoted to it. Pics of the factory clip start at post #19: http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=217201Can you post a pic with clip installed?
I think I'm leaving the circle of 'Ra'. I'm in disbelief as to what had seemed like a nice gesture from Henry was actually a mistake and that after all the trouble of sending in a new light at my expense and waiting a month not too mention a couple LD phone calls I'm now being asked to return a 'test battery' - a rechargeable RCR123 to Ra as they mistakenly included it in the return package (not inside the light). The battery is worth less than what I spent on shipping and LD calls.
The warm and fuzzy feeling about this light just went away. Too many missed promises and boondoggles. I used to manage a large retail business with around 25 employees. If a customer brought back a $179 item that had a problem and I had the customer wait a month to fix it would I ask him to come back to the store again after finally getting the fixed item just to return a $6 item I had mistakenly left with the replacement? No - I would not even consider it but then I guess that's just me....
