I apologize in advance, this is going to be an unpopular opinion on this site. I have been to the hds site many times, but i just can't pull the trigger. The build quality looks amazing, but i just can't justify the cost vs output. Many will say you don't need more, which is true. To me that's like a guy who drives a honda telling someone they shouldn't drive a Porsche. True it is likely unnecessary, but if someone wants to spend the money to have that extra power and engineering, they are paying for it. For the premium price they should get more. Others say it's not possible to increase output, but every other flashlight manufacturer on the planet has done it. Granted, the build qulIty of HDS is much higher, but for what they charge i expect that higher build quality and output. I am sure the guys at HDS could design something that's not going to explode. Engineering and design needs to keep up with the times. If hds just wants to remain a low output cr123 light they will be left behind. I personally think the lights are beautiful, and really admire the build quality, but i feel the only thing that has kept up with the times is their cost.
