Hello Guys,
This is going to be my most expensive flashlight purchase to date (hopefully it will be my last). I've found a member here who's willing to sell his Ti-PD-S to and I'm having a very tough time deciding whether I want to buy it or not. I never thought I would be debating whether to spend over $500 for a flashlight.
I already have some very high quality lights, and I have a few more that are on its way to me. Currently, for my EDC, I carry a Novatac 120P in my pocket (I alternate it with my newly acquired BitZ, and soon my Lummi Raw AL), and a Fenix L0d in my keychains (until my Draco AlTin arrives). My Novatac is my most versatile flashlight, and it's perfect for both work and outdoor excursions.
Anyway, I've been drooling all over the McLux-PD-S, especially the Ti version. I found a lot of reading materials relating to McLuxIII that I'll be going through (dating back as far as a few years back) ... but it is to the point where it's too much reading, and not knowing what's relevant. If you McLuxIII owners could chime in and answer a few of my questions, that'll be helpful in my decision making process.
(1) The one I'm looking at is a mizer Ti-PD-S. I believe it is a P4 version. What is the high and low output level? Surprisingly, very few information relating to the lumens are found in the threads. I understand that those who buy a McGizmo light is not going for high lumens rating, but I just need a ballpark figure to know whether it's suitable.
(2) What's the estimated weight of the Ti-PD? My Novatac weighs in at about 3.3 ounces, and it's about as heavy as I want to carry in my jacket pocket.
(3) Do you guys actually use it or is it a shelf queen?
(4) Would you still get a Ti-PD considering all the newer lights currently in the market?
Please persuade or dissuade me one way or another. Thanks
