This is a Rare McGizmo HD45 in HA-NAT,
It came out of the First Run & Only 12 were Made.

See Post #22/23 below in the HD45 thread regarding HA-NAT.
http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=91239

This one of 12 HA-NAT but the only HD45 I know sports a modern cree XPG. It's the nailbender XPG R4, pure white tint without the Green tint seen from either Cutter XPG or 4 Sevens XPGs used in the Quark Ti.

The Original board burned out, so I swapped in a 3 speed low/Mid/High driver, No annoying strobe/SOS etc. So the light is now 3 level twisty. But the driver was made for clicky, the twist action doesn't seem to be fast enough to change modes consistently, so it doesn't always always go L-M-H, some times skip or jump modes. But it does give you all 3 modes.
Use 1x18650 only, as the driver is for single Li-ion use, do not use 2x123 in there.

The hardest part is to open the head & change the LED. If you don't like the driver, the driver is quite easy to access & change. I've left enough wire so that Driver can be changed without getting into the head.

I've seen many Black HD45 for sale, but rarely HA-NAT, the only reference I found is here: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=120127

It was sold for $275, with just a lowly LuxIII in it.

So I think I am asking $235 for the light is pretty fair price, for the
one & only McGizmo HA-NAT HD45 with XPG in it.
I'll include one 18650 Battery with the light.

USA Only. Please add $18 to cover PP fee/Shipping & Insurance.
If you use Personal Fund to avoid fee, It'll be just $8 for Shipping/Insurance.

Need Cash fast, Daily Price Drop of $5 until sold!

May I add this Torch could be used for diving?
There is an o-ring under front lens, under water pressure, it'll seal even better.
The only other place fo possible water coming in is the tube & head junction which has 2 o-rings,
looks like it could handle ~100 feet dive.


Now: $190

How bright is this and is this focusable? A thrower? :)
 
Re: Daily Price drop of $5/day going on: MacGizmo HD45 HA-NAT XPG R4

It's probably in the neighborhood of 275 lumens, depending upon drive current on high.

The reflector in this thing is one of the best I've ever seen for a flashlight, the McR45. I've got them with SSC P4, Xbin5W Lux and a Diamond Dragon. It's a wicked thrower...probably the best throw in any McGizmo light.

Here's a gif with all 3 of them, 8' from a white ceiling:

I'd love to see a beamshot with the XP-G.

Sure, Beam shot is up:
It has a Tiny hot spot, smaller than any XPG or even XRE hot spots,
followed by large corona. I was a bit surprised, because all my XPG has large hot spots.

I don't know about total lumens, as I don't remember where I got the driver, it;s the only one I have that fits. I think it's probably ~800 MA driver?

If I was to keep this light, I'd swap into a 1.2 Amp driver, single mode.
Bright & simple. The heatsink is directly the whole head, I think it can handle 1.2A driven XPG at ease.

Thanks for the offer on trade, many nice light you have there!
But right now, I need cash, not more lights.

It does throw well, but I've made many TIR & aspherical throwers, from Aspehric Solitaire, 18500 Direct Drive XRE TIR to DEFT clone, they'll out throw any reflector based lights.

Thanks donn, but I need cash.

How about you buy this light & Put your $300 worth of lights on sale for $200 for a quick sale? That way, you basically achieved the same Trade you want & I got the cash I need?

Just a thought
