Original asking Price $235
Price Reduced to $195

2/5/ Now $190
2/6/ Now $185

This is a Rare McGizmo HD45 in HA-NAT,
It came out of the First Run & Only 12 were Made.

See Post #22/23 below in the HD45 thread regarding HA-NAT.
http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=91239

This one of 12 HA-NAT but the only HD45 I know sports a modern cree XPG. It's the nailbender XPG R4, pure white tint without the Green tint seen from either Cutter XPG or 4 Sevens XPGs used in the Quark Ti.

The Original board burned out, so I swapped in a 3 speed low/Mid/High driver, No annoying strobe/SOS etc. So the light is now 3 level twisty. But the driver was made for clicky, the twist action doesn't seem to be fast enough to change modes consistently, so it doesn't always always go L-M-H, some times skip or jump modes. But it does give you all 3 modes.
Use 1x18650 only, as the driver is for single Li-ion use, do not use 2x123 in there.

The hardest part is to open the head & change the LED. If you don't like the driver, the driver is quite easy to access & change. I've left enough wire so that Driver can be changed without getting into the head.

I've seen many Black HD45 for sale, but rarely HA-NAT, the only reference I found is here: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/120127

It was sold for $275, with just a lowly LuxIII in it.

So I think I am asking $235 for the light is pretty fair price, for the
one & only McGizmo HA-NAT HD45 with XPG in it.
I'll include one 18650 Battery with the light.

USA Only. Please add $18 to cover PP fee/Shipping & Insurance.
If you use Personal Fund to avoid fee, It'll be just $8 for Shipping/Insurance.

Re: Daily Price drop of $5/day going on: HD45 HA-NAT XPG R4

Need Cash fast, Daily Price Drop of $5 until sold!

May I add this Torch could be used for diving?
There is an o-ring under front lens, under water pressure, it'll seal even better.
The only other place fo possible water coming in is the tube & head junction which has 2 o-rings,
looks like it could handle ~100 feet dive.


Now: $190

How bright is this and is this focusable? A thrower? :)

It's probably in the neighborhood of 275 lumens, depending upon drive current on high.

The reflector in this thing is one of the best I've ever seen for a flashlight, the McR45. I've got them with SSC P4, Xbin5W Lux and a Diamond Dragon. It's a wicked thrower...probably the best throw in any McGizmo light.

Here's a gif with all 3 of them, 8' from a white ceiling:

I'd love to see a beamshot with the XP-G.

Sure, Beam shot is up:
It has a Tiny hot spot, smaller than any XPG or even XRE hot spots,
followed by large corona. I was a bit surprised, because all my XPG has large hot spots.

I don't know about total lumens, as I don't remember where I got the driver, it;s the only one I have that fits. I think it's probably ~800 MA driver?

If I was to keep this light, I'd swap into a 1.2 Amp driver, single mode.
Bright & simple. The heatsink is directly the whole head, I think it can handle 1.2A driven XPG at ease.

Thanks for the offer on trade, many nice light you have there!
But right now, I need cash, not more lights.

It does throw well, but I've made many TIR & aspherical throwers, from Aspehric Solitaire, 18500 Direct Drive XRE TIR to DEFT clone, they'll out throw any reflector based lights.

Thanks donn, but I need cash.

How about you buy this light & Put your $300 worth of lights on sale for $200 for a quick sale? That way, you basically achieved the same Trade you want & I got the cash I need?

Just a thought

This is my first McGizmo light. I hope I didn't just start what will become a growing and expensive collection. :thinking:
