I am trying to re-focus much of my life around more productive pursuits and more family time. As such, many of my beautiful and rarer lights are going to need to find new homes. It has been a pleasure collecting many of these lights, and even more so modding them. (Don't worry - I'm still keeping a few treasures for myself 
)
As always, first posted "I'll take it!" gets the item.
PP purchase option only. I absorb fees. Priority CONUS USPS or fist class int'l shipping included.
1) This first light is probably the hardest for me to let go because I consider it my best mod ever. This McGizmo was purchased originally as a XR27 Ti-PD. It was adequate for it's purpose but could be made much better. So with a swap to a McR 27S reflector and replacement of the XR-E with a perfectly centered XP-G R4-5C1 neutral this light was nearly perfect. What could make it better? A nice boost, by Datiled, to the drive level from 525mA on high to 833mA. This light is really bright, can still run on CR123 or RCR123, has amazing throw for its size and a beam that I can just shine on the wall and smile at. How do you make it better? Add a Black Sharkskin AOTH holster purchased just a short while ago from shado (so you know its top quality in great shape). The quality of the light is very good to excellent. It was carried a bit so it does have some light marks on it, but not deep scrapes, gouges or dings. Green trit in the tail. Price $850 SOLD
2) Next is a Slate McGizmo PD-S with a Ti Bezel. The LED has been upgraded to a lovely vanilla white XP-G with a S2 flux and a 2B tint. This was a very hard to find LED that I managed to obtain just a small handful of from Cutter before they sold out. The beam is sweet and has no green or blue/purple in it - just nice soft vanilla tint white. Green trit in the tail. The light is mint condition. Price $340 SOLD
3) Next is a HA McGizmo PD-S. Amazing natural HA color on this light. The HA on the head is just a touch darker than the body, but I understand it's hard to find a perfect match. Both the LED and reflector on this light were swapped. The LED was swapped out to a 90+ Hi-CRI Q2 XP-G mated with a McR20 reflector. This combo give the light a slightly tighter spot than the standard McR20S reflector with wonderful spill. The HiCRI XP-G gives the beam a wonderful warm color in line with the natural color of the HA and begs for camping and forest duty. Green trit in the tail. This light is in mint condition. Price $375 SOLD w/ R4-5C1 mod choice.
(Note: I am going to offer to swap the LED for either a XP-G R4-5C1 neutral or a R5-2B cool white for the buyer at their choice.)
4) Finally up is a 2-tone Titanium Delghi Iris I purchase about a month or two ago to see what the Iris' are all about. Ti body with blue anodized rings. A wonderful light with a great beam. The LED is R5 cool whit and 100% as I purchased it in mint condition.
A better picture can be found in the sales thread where I purchased it. Item #5 here: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?324675-Sold-McGizmo-Lunasols-Spy-007-Delghi-Irises
Price $425 Now $410 SOLD
5) Just added 12/26 - Modded McGizmo Haiku BB in neutral tint. Beautiful Ti light in excellent condition, awesome bead blasted finish, etched Ti clip. To make this light more my own I've modified a few of Don's settings. The LED was re-flowed to a neutral R4-5C1 tint. Although a fan of the 3-level UI on the Haiku, I am not a huge fan of the PWM on lo and med and I have a preference for slightly different levels. As such, I replaced the main driver with a Sandwich Shoppe GDuP fully current controlled driver running at 10mA / 225 mA / 900 mA. IMO this gives the light a lower low, a more useful medium for most every day usage and a boosted high that has wonderful punch and throw with Dons wonderful reflector; and, the light is still fully capable of running on both a primary CR123 or a LiIon RCR123 cell.
This light was $475 new and the mods totaled $50 but this is still a production light so it would just be wrong to ask more than I paid for the light itself.
Price $460 SOLD
