Which McGizmo do I want?

[TxTroubleMaker]

So hivoltage, what did you decide on??? Or are you still deciding???

I think I want the 27LT-S....but then again the XR-19PD sounds appealing too. Probably which ever one comes up for sale the quickest. I dont see either for sale anyplace

If you like the XR-19PD, you may want to look into getting an A19 from the shoppe. You can go for the single cell version and run it with a 2 cell body running either a 17670, 18650, or R123. I had one that ran with each of these set ups and I really liked the versatility of it. Of course the 27LT-S is not a bad way to go either. Good luck with your quest, let us know what you end up getting.

Why not the C-Pack instead of the PD Pack? This thread discusses the pros and cons of the two choices. I like the C-pack. Thankfully I dont have to choose b/c I have both. :twothumbs

OK, I didnt get either of the lights I was thinking about. I seen a brand new Ti-PD-S come up for sale and jumped on it due to all the great posts about it.

I guess if I dont like it I can always get close to my money back, but I dont see that happening. Thanks for all the suggestions.

You will like the Ti-PD-s a lot, i'm sure. The other lights you were considering may throw 'better', but the McR20 reflector is a great performer as well. Unless you really need a throw monster, it should be good enough to reach out and touch your target pretty well.

Enjoy it,

IMHO, the PD-S is the ideal EDC. :thumbsup:

Well done! If I could only have one light, I'd choose the Ti-PD-S.
Its just about perfect. :goodjob:

+1 It is a perfect rendition of form and function. When I'm not using it in anger I am quite content to just look at it. Mine is a Mizer so to me it offers perfect utility.

Fantastic choice HV, you can do no wrong.

Hodsta,
I am convinced that mizers are it for sure.
so much so that I want my XR-19 PD to be retroed to a mizer. I see no reason to not have a mizer setting on these lights.
Good choice hivoltage, this is what I would have gotten for sure!

 

[hivoltage]

OK, what is a mizer setting?

 

[Dog Chaser]

The standards are set at 525mA and the mizers are set at 300 or 350ma. The mizer puts out slightly less light, but far better runtime.

The differences are expalined by people with far more knowledge and eloquence than me in the link threads below.

and here but about the Mule

https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/167273

But basically the Stock TiPD-S or Mule is run a 25/525mA low/high but the Mizer is run a 25/300mA low/high

The Mizer will run for 3 hours on high where as the non-Mizer 90mins IIRC with a small drop in brightness.

Sorry - tooo quick for me.
