I get it, the combination of foods causes "bilabial fricativism", right? For better or for "wurst", here are a few definitions of German sausages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockwurst
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bockwurst
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bratwurst

seen many times, often in a very firm manifestation, in some rare cases also leading to "permanent linguolabial trillism" and you wouldn't wanna risk that, would you?!?
also thanks a lot for the wikipedia-links, i had some great fun reading these definitions. didn't know these things in all depth... and i apologize for not thinking as far enough as that i could come to the idea that knockwurst actually is knackwurst (the wikipedia article forwards knockwurst to knackwurst!) which makes absolute sense since the american way of pronouncing knockwurst is much closer the the german pronounciation of knackwurst.
if us customs wouldn't be that strict about imported (unsealed) foods i'd send some samples over to you for xmas :laughing: for further examiation and some runtime testing (hmmm - maybe see how long you can go running until you need another one). maybe i could declare these as urgent testing equipment... :thinking:
but good wo got this clear here, i'm sure pretty much everyone who's interested in the clicky want's to embroaden his/her knowledge regarding central-european food traditions as well... here you go folks... and all for free!

I wouldn't mind boiling my Clicky along with a German sausage. In that way, it would always smell good enough to eat. I love the bouquet of sausage. Thank you for your generosity with advice!

see? no spaetzle along the bratwurst and the sauerkraut!!! guess someone knew about the mystic dangers...
and it was a great pleasure to help you out, jeff!
reading your posts here is always great fun paired with good information; recognizing your increase of postings per day here i assume you are probably enjoying your (well deserved) seasonal holidays, dont't ya?

So you have been daydreaming about Clicky ownership for a long time, huh? Get those euros ready for disbursement!

very right, first focused on a twisty and since the 2xAA tube for the twisty took a while and the clicky came out in the meanwhile i changed horses.

its indeed been a while and i'm more than happy when i once will hold this little friend in my hands! being a student just like xenas, it took me some time to save some bucks, then i spent it on some bikeparts, saved some again, and as soon as batterystation or any other dealer is listing this 2xAA tube and the clip i'll hit that button and help to raise the hit-counter of the dhl tracking service 😗

I started a Ra Clicky 140C runtime test using a fresh SureFire SF123A cell at 7:30PM EST. It would be nice to find consistency with Saturn's findings, namely 105 minutes with a BS primary and 71 minutes with an AW rechargeable. I got 67 minutes with my AW cell. If I get anywhere near 105 minutes, I would be happy knowing that the Ra lights do better on CR123s than on R123s, at the highest sustained level. (level 22)

Isn't that a generally accepted rule? That is most lights will have a longer runtime on high with a CR123 than an RCR123 - or I think even on lower levels lights normally get longer runtimes on primaries? Is there a case where that is not so? Either way it is GREAT to see such long runtimes on high with the Ra.
 
Hello all,
I completed a thorough runtime test on my 140C, using a fresh SF123A cell (open V = 3.271). I have compiled very useful information for all of those who will be using a CR123 in their light. I used my luxmeter as I did for my AW cell runtime test a few days ago. The lux values are relative values, not absolute. They are there to chart the light's output over time. This time, I recorded the starting lux reading and the ones to follow every 15 minutes, and stopped doing so when the light dropped two levels the first time. I continued recording the times of the two level drops and the corresponding luxmeter readings until my light completed four two level drops. At exactly 1 hour 25 minutes, my light did it's first two level drop to 588lux = 50lm.

The chart below demonstrates the capabilities of my light. Consider this. It lasted 85 minutes at 100lm, then 29 minutes at 50lm, then 20 minutes at 25lm then 25 minutes at 13lm. I stopped the clock here. I believe that Henry chose 13lm as his factory default primary level, because he found it to be the most useful level. Draw your own conclusions as to the merits of the Clicky.

1:25....588....50
1:54....319....25
2:14....167....13
2:39.....86.....6.3

SaturnNyne's 140C ran for 105 minutes on a BS CR123, and 71 minutes on an AW R123. So far we have two runtime samples. More would be helpful!

Luxlover, Thanks for the runtime information.
The Ra Clicky is really quite efficient. I can't wait to get one of these lights.
 
This is my very first post ever, so I hope I do it right.

My question: Has anyone used the RA-Clicky Customization? How did it work for you?

Thanks

Lux-ury,
Welcome to the Ra Clicky thread and to CPF. The post is right.

Customizatiom worked fine for me. If you are confused, it may be because you have not had any HDS lights and are not used to having a light with one button that does everything for you.....including wash your dishes and tie your shoelaces. :nana:

So if you are having problems, write me a pm and I will guide to to the promised land of Customization Heaven.

Welcome to CPF lux-ury!

Can someone please post a pic of this light in their hand? It would be nice to see a relative size.

Thanks,
Kam

LuxLover, you are without doubt 'on the ball' with this thread!
Thanks for those great pic's.
Much as I expected it looks like the perfect size light for me. 🙂
Just need to get that rowing boat across the pond a bit faster!
Nice one buddy.
 
What is a pm? A private message? Do I click on your username? I must have tried 50 times to enable customization. I do have other lights that require careful clicking, or maybe not: EX10, dereelight C2H. I have no trouble at all with the factory settings for the RA Clicky, but I just could not do all the steps to enable customization.
