Re: WTB: Mint McLux Ti PD
Hey Easy,
I don't want to hijack Troy's buy thread, but I just want to say that it's more than just the size. The light output is also important. What attracted me to the Ti-PD (or any other PD for that matter) is the delicate balance in the choice of drive levels for High and Low. For a light of this size class, the choice of low output is very important to me. The low on the Ti-PD is just about perfect. Any higher and it will lose a significant amount of utility (to me). My understanding is that the drive level for low on the XR19-PD will output significantly more lumens than the low on the PD. If Don could bring the drive levels down to match the current Ti-PD's, that would be wonderful and I would be on the list of buying one of these beauts! And we would get more runtime to boot!!! :thumbsup:
Another thing is tint....albeit, less important to a degree. I have been spoiled by the perfect tint that I have discovered in the UV1K and UV0J emitters that I had the pleasure of owning. If the tint isn't good, I find I don't reach for that light as often. Luckily, so far, the tints from the Cree XR-Es haven't been too bad (my A19 XR-E has a tint somewhere in the triangle of W0, X0 and X1, Luxeon equivalent).
With that said, I mentioned earlier that nothing in McGizmo's new Ti lineup replaces the Ti-PD, which I still believe. In reality, McGizmo's new Ti lineup is
complementary to the Ti-PD. That is why I am eagerly awaiting the 27L models to be released.
Ok, that's all.....sorry Troy for jumping on your thread.....
If I had a spare Ti-PD, you know I'd call on ya! :thumbsup:
free bump!
