U2 / HD 45 picture

[ianb]

If anyone has both of these lights (U2 and HD 45) and a camera I'd love to see a comparison of them, or HD 45 against something else I've seen in real life SF L6, SL Propoly 4aa.
thanks, Ian B

This is the only one I got right now.

Comparing the HD45 to the U2 ... the HD45 is slightly longer, about the same body diameter, and the head is much wider.

Here's one with the SL and a 2C Mag.

sorry the HD45 being at the very edge of the frame is slightly distorted. i haven't had the time/chance to take better pics yet. =)

Thanks Will

it was good fun doing them (who doesn't like to play with lights? ) and I'm always happy when folks find them useful

This flashlight is an absolute treat to use, it's rugged, practical and goes in a pack easily, it does well under water, though Don doesn't recommend it. If you don't have one, get one, they can be found at the sandwich shoppe.

Thats perfect, thanks all for great shots! Always nice to see loads of pictures in one thread to reference again in future , Somy Nex great beamshots , nothing like them for a real world comparison.
G2, I am waiting for Lux 5 to be delivered this week can't wait,
thanks, Ian B

Probably too late, but I'll throw in my picture:

Anyone know how to order an HD 45 5w from the Shoppe? I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Cindy replied via email saying more available this past Monday. Eager for this light. Thanks.

 

[Fringe]

Should be in the completed build Aleph section.

And you should be, it is a great performer. As I said before, I will never relinquish mine. Now I want the 5W to complete the circle

 

[WAVE_PARTICLE]

Hmmm....I just checked the Shoppe and I can't seem to find the 5W HD45 anymore. :thinking:

When I bought mine, it was right there.....right under the 3W version in the "Completed Assemblies" section.

Perhaps inventory was sold prior to Wayne's taking time off to file taxes. I will wait and see.... Thanks.

Wave particle, great picture, never too late Would have been a perfect comparison though as I was selling a U2 to get my HD 45.
I've got mine(5 watt) now so am not so feverish to know all about them, its really growing on me, a great light.
sgt253 I guess they go real fast when they come in, when I ordered mine it was in the completed assemblies section, when I checked a couple of days after they'd all gone! they seem to be very popular.
