For those looking for HDS lights: There are quite a few Clickies in stock here and 2 Rotarys. I've got a 140 Tactical with GDP emitter on the way. (Apparently the 170 and 200 are using XPG)

I ordered from them yesterday (late afternnon) shipped already. I ordered a 170 from them and a 140 from someone else (havn't heard anything yet about the 140)
I will report back on the emitters.

I've sent an email to Henry and asked what the "realistic" time frame would be to get one if I ordered from him.
I am looking forward to his reply.

Henry just replied. It was very fast. He said approximately four weeks.
Isn't that what he has said for the last year?
I am very hesitant to place an order. Is anyone on this forum actually receiving their orders in a four week time span yet?

I placed an order at the end of June 2013 and was told 10 week wait. I called in 10 weeks and was told 2 more weeks, I called in the 12th week and was told 2 more weeks. That brings us to last week. I am sure Henry is working hard to get through the backlog. My best guess is that he is now delivering December/January 2013 orders.

I am encouraged to hear that he told you 4 weeks from today for a new order.

Six weeks ago I put in an order and was told 8 weeks. A recent update indicates shipping mid Oct so still on schedule. Also see a lot of vendors with bursts of in stock HDS products lately. So production must be catching up.

As a Baker might say though, "Get em' while they're Hot".. ( I went from None to Four(4)) I figure, it's one of the Hobbies and they don't go Bad :D

My Clicky 170 came today, and it has the same LED (XPG) with the Clicky 200.
It seems the 140 is the highest lumen GDP HDS at present. (Shouldn't be a huge difference to the 170 GDPs of the past anyway as it's only "half a level" or about 20%)

I just received my HiCRI clicky from GoingGear and noticed the body was more grippy than the Rotary 200 i bought from UniqueTitanium in April. Maybe parts from different machine shops?

Just ordered a Hi CRI from Henry. He actually replied and gave me a 3 to 5 week window. I can't wait.

Can anyone tell me what emitter Henry is using for this?

3700k XPG HI-CRI. A gorgeous tint and a new favorite of mine right behind my two 4000k Zebralight Rebels. The infamous Nichia 219 comes in at a close third.

I ordered my 140T on October 4 (this last week) and he replied to my email inquiring on an ETA stating that mine should ship Tuesday (October 8)

I guess I'm lucky!

My order is one year and ten days old. Yesterday I asked Henry and he told me my Rotary would be in the next batch. Probably next week.
Yoohoooo! Next month it 'll be in Greece.

Today I received my flashlight. 13 months later. Rotary it's awesome.
Now I have to go home to compare it with my 120 Clicky.
