I just took delivery of an HDS Basic 42xrgt.

It's a nice light, but it's made for right handed people; so it my
Fenix L1P. Some of the Surefires are ambi. The Arc AAA is ambi,
the Element is ambi; but where are the dedicated left handed lights?

No, wait a minute. I've just double checked all the lights.
Uh, nevermind.

I don't know...I tend to use one light on both hands whenever I'm searching for something...two lights, twice the efficiency.

I find it more exciting to turn the lights out, close the blinds, and latch the curtains in the middle of a sunny day and search for something using flashlights...its just more intriguing, challenging, and more satisfaction when you actually find what your looking for...

The Fire~Fly-3 works nicely in the left-hand...
the twisting is smooth as silk and works nicely in either hand..

My left brain ususally makes the decision to buy another light. My right brain is usually the side that enjoys the new light the most...

umm the ARC is the least ambidextrous out of all those lights since you have to rotate it the HDS and fenix a symmetrical, lol

Just hold the light backwards in your hand. Although, you'll have to walk backwards and look over your shoulder to see your target.

similarly; it could've been worse; you might have believed all the lights were made for use in the Southern Hemisphere, only...

Mdocod, I thought that was some kind of virus...

Anyway Babo. Why cant you use your right hand? But really though, all flashlights can be used with both hands. All you got to do is hold it and shine it.

I am left handed and normally use my light in my left hand, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what would make a light left handed or right handed or ambidextrous. Lol perhaps I missed the joke?
