Ra Clicky Part 2

I would gladly sacrifice a 5-10% loss in light transmission for the added
durability and/or scratch resistance that a sapphire lens would provide.

not me!

With a removable bezel and the availability of cheap UCL lens I cant see a benifit of giving up 10-12% of my photons.

Sapphire lens all the way. As in I will wait on a Ra until it happens.

Aren't we saying the same thing?

If Henry ships the Clicky's with a sapphire lens, you could replace it with a cheap UCL and everybody wins.

"In my opinion, the durability and scratch resistance of the sapphire is worth the loss in light transmission it entails relative to a very clear window that is much more prone to breakage and scratching. I prefer a known and factored in loss to one of a potentially catastrophic nature" (McLeish).

Can the led be replaced or upgraded easily in this light?

More or less, only difference being that one way the light will cost more and deliver less out of the box...

I don't recall hearing about a single failed Novatac lens.

Ok, were so very close to AUGUST :twothumbs

Any chance of a picture yet Henry ???
Is August going to be the true release month??

My B-Day is August 12th, hoping to snag one as a present to myself :naughty:

+1 August 17th!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys: Give the man some time to grind some sapphire lenses .

My B42XRGT (Seoul'd) has been waiting for a partner for a very long time.
Here she is on vacation all alone in Puerto Rico's El Yunque Rain Forest...
Roughly 4,000 feet above Sea level.

Come on Henry, your breaking her HEART

He also needs time to polish the titanium, engrave customers initials of all the pre-ordered, and even more time to install bluetooth technology for hands free commands.

Oh darn. I thought he was incorporating voice recognition software?

"Clicky, 100 lumens, engage!"

Hey Kid, Nice light :mecry:

LOL Dixemon

I was just getting ready to send you a link to this thread.

Yes folks, this little beauty once belonged to Dixemon.
He modded it with Seoul as well.

I was very fortunate because this was the most nicest and cleanest HDS mod I have ever seen in all my time at CPF. And I have seen MANY.

Thanks Again Dixemon :thumbsup:

Awesome pic... mine is still stock standard. I'm such a weiner but I don't want to take the risk of shipping her overseas again.

I just checked out the specs on the Clicky... how does the weight compare with the HDS and Novatacs, for example?

Personally, I think weight is quite important... for the record, I like my lights light!
