Anyone have a guess as to whether or not the new clicky will be at this level of efficiency at it's lower levels?

Consider the fact that if I was a very short guy, such as 5'-2", my hand would be smaller than the average guy as well, and the light would actually appear smaller than it's real size. Not to worry, mate. I am 5'-9", a pillar of the community, and have a normally sized hand.
I hope that they don't hit any icebergs when they make that left turn toward Merry 'Ol England.

Luxlover, please take note of what I say in post #102 above about the use of the Multi-Quote facility.
Of the 123 posts (including this one) so far in this thread, no fewer than 54 of them are from you. Many of yours could have been consolidated, rather than appearing as a string of successive individual posts.

Lux,
Yes, a private message. To access the Private Message page associated with your username, go to the very top right of any page, notice the Welcome, lux-ury. Now look at the line beneath it. Click on Private Messages. There is a Private Messages menu to the left of that page. Choose the task you want to initiate.
Timing is a critical aspect of getting into the customization menu. For now, I suggest that you read the Customization Guide a few more times and try to absorb the steps. It can be found here..... Ra Clicky Customization Guide If you are still having a problem, write me a pm and I will type the steps I use to make it happen. Don't give up!

Finally, I just learned a new feature. Thank you for the "push", DM. I wasn't being difficult. But at the time that I read post #102, I had no idea about what you were refering.
Do you think that with my posting prowess, I will save CPF from certain ruin by adopting the Multi-Quote method of posting? I might point out that of all of my associates in this thread, only His Eminence SaturnNyne has used this feature. This points out to me that it is a still obscure feature. Just know that when I saw Saturn's multi-quote posts, I thought that they came about by the copy/paste operation.
Maybe you can elaborate on when to use the feature. Most do not know of it!

Yeah, I know -- I've hunted with those lions, in the past, myself. Just a wee bit 'o humor (attempted?) on my part.

Lux-ury, if it makes you feel any better, the clicky was/is my first HDS light, and it seemed very confusing to me. However, I read the customization guide many times, asked my buddy luxlover lots of questions on the operation (which he answered ably) and then was very much prepared and not confused in the least when using it. I thought I could not learn it, and instead, I became a whiz. You most certainly can too! If the worst comes to worst, you can always have the guide in front of you the first few times. All it takes is a little practice, and you can't practice without a clicky! :naughty: You must remedy this by immediatly going and purchasing one! :twothumbs
Excellent job on the test Jeff! It is good to see these excellent numbers from the clicky as, as well as compiling more and more useful info on the light for future buyers!
I've seen that multi quote feature used before, but never understood it. I tried it out, and apparently it works something like this.
- Click the multi quote button on each of the posts you wish to quote
- After doing step one, click the usual quote button.
- The quotes you selected should now be quoted properly in one post.

If it is, and the rowboat hits the iceberg and sinks, then don't worry. The Clicky can take the abuse of the frigid waters and depth.
It was funny! Don't be shy. Joke it up for all it's worth.
Mr. Whiz,
Good advice to lux-ury. But haven't you heard on the news.....HE ALREADY HAS A CLICKY! :thinking:
Thank you for that attaboy! Hey, weren't you on the phone with me last night through the tail end of the test, or was that an m16a impersonator?
Your assessment of the steps to Multi-Quote use are correct. I followed your example to become a Multi-Quote aficionado like you.
Using the Multi-Quote feature is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I do like it.

Folks,
Just wanted to report on my new 140 Cn. This light is just about perfect. I quite pleasantly surprised by the tint. It's not cool at all, as my Twisty 85 TW is. The beam on my new Clicky is neutral white, with even a hint of warm yellow on the lower settings. Terrific.
The slightly greater length does make it a better fit in my hand than the NovaTac.
Also, it tailstands perfectly, on ot off.
I turned on customization, turned on the locator flash, set the Minimum to turn on first, and turned customization all in about ten minutes. By the way, the locator flash is an improvement over the NovaTac. It's much dimmer, so it's almost impossible to see in daylight, but it is still plenty visable at night.
The only thing I kind of like better ably my NovaTac is that it's easier to access SOS and signaling strobe. I've never used them, but I can imagine situations where I might want those functions when I'm in a tight spot, but I'm not going to devote one of my four light settings to it. Ideally, I could imagine some obscure clicking-gesture might activate them (I dunno, like five rapid clicks and hold gives you signaling strobe, and tapping SOS gives you SOS mode--just thinking out loud) Anyhow, a small thing.
On the whole, it's hard for me to come up with a complaint about this light.

Just sittin' here, enjoying the feedback, and waiting on the Brown Truck (Monday) to bring some ammo and a new flashlight. The Clicky sounds like it's pretty much all we've been anticipating. My hat is off to Henry, as this group's expectations were very high. It seems to be everything the Novatac hinted at, but built like a bank vault. I ALMOST ordered another Clicky (Cn this time) but decided to wait until the first one gets here. I only miss the red output from the Twisty as that's a feature I use. But I have other lights that give me red.

All,
We have finally finished shipping the pre-order backlog and will be into shipping from stock situation by the end of next week - unless the new orders outstrip production capacity.
We have a Ra-170-Cn available and expect to get another shortly. After long consideration, we think that a simple contest is probably the fairest way to allocate a scarce resource. The winner gets a PayPal request. When we have everything set up, we will post a link - probably later this weekend. Go to the link, follow the directions and then wait. Whenever a Ra-170-Cn becomes available, the link will be activated. Be sure to have your browser refresh the page so you can see changes.
Henry.

Henry,
From this page..... http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showpost.php?p=2168995&postcount=1 it appears that #9 on Russtang's 140Cn list tricker did not get his light. So you are not quite done with the pre-order backlog! 😕

Ah, a simple contest for the light my heart unequivocally desires; oh such sweet lumenage. I am ready, thank you for the opportunity Henry.
If the last of them went out so recently, I figure that they are on the way to the dealer, and then to the customer. Out of Henry's hands, waiting to be in ours. I'm sure tricker will get his soon enough, just like the rest of us.
Don't worry Jeff, be happy.

Negative, on your assessment of the MIA light. Russ received all lights for the pre-order list from Henry on 12/11, and shipped all of them on that date. Tricker's was not in the shipment. Many in the USA should get theirs today. Just looking out after our esteemed colleague, hoping that HE is not worrying and is Happy!
Where would your 140Cn be hiding?

12/18? That'd be scary..last I checked it's 12/13 right now.. Lest you meant something different.... Time travel?
My 140Cn is probably in that shipment which Henry sent recently. I haven't been charged by batterystation yet, so I'll be getting mine and Orcinus's next week sometime, hopefully.

Now do you see to what you have to look forward, when you reach my age? Thanks for the slap on the hand, Enzo. I meant Russ received his lights on 12/11, two days before 12/13 and seven days before 12/18. 😗
Now that we have the chronology rectified, where is tricker's light?
