so I've been informed thanks to CPF that the HDS Clicky 200 uses the XP-G emitter. Knowing that, I also have an XP-G based Nitecore D11 (and another XP-G based ZebraLight SC51, while we're at it)

Now, all that being said, how does the HDS Clicky 200 beam profile/pattern/style compare to that of the Nitecore D11 or even ZebraLight SC51? I'm asking because I don't yet own an HDS light, but that's next on my list, but is the beam of the HDS 200 pretty much the same as the D11?

I'm guessing the beam isn't near as wide/floody as the SC51 from ZL, but I wanted to know which it's closest to out of the D11 and SC51. Anyone have some good input?

FYI: I realize the D11 is rated at 145 lumens versus the HDS's 200 lumens, but I do have a 14500 li-ion in my D11 so I'm assuming that it's running near 200 lumens, but anyways, how's the beam related or similar to that of the D11 or SC51?

Thanks guys! If the beam of the HDS 200 is anything like that of my D11, I'll be buying the HDS 200, instead of the 170. :)

I have a rotary HDS and the d11 with 14500, they really are not that much different IMO unless you are truly a flasholic, But I love my rotary and dont carry anything other. I could go on but all I can say is a HDS is a HDS.

It can also be ordered with a hicri emitter. Just takes a while to get one. Lumen output is 120 and cost is 169.
