    This would make sense. My Tactical has a smooth reflector. Works great with the round emitter Hi CRI. Perfect beam! ThumperACC

    Slumber, I agree with you. However, I just opened my brandie new Custom Tactical Rotary 200 Hi CRI and it has a ....... smooth reflector. Never knew Henry used these. Color me shocked. The beam is nice though. Probably because the emitter is round. Color rendition is just great! Happy...

    I'd be disappointed with that level of 'dirt' under the lens as well. What you see in your pictures is not common, if I got one like that, I'd give Henry a chance to make it right. If you are after a refund, Henry is very prompt in refunding money. Is yours a HiCRI, a 250, 325? Thanks...

    When did you order your HDS?

    Just got a shipping notification from Henry for my Rotary. Ordered mine in October. :thumbsup: ThumperACC

    Thanks for the update Henry. A little candor like this goes a long way with your customers, when you are having trouble delivering product. Glad to hear you've had some resolution to what you were trying to achieve. I respect your not wanting to ship something you know is broken. Looking...

    The thrower half of my thrower/flooder pair that I carry, is the Surefire EB1T. It has an optic and throws like nobody's business (with just enough spill to be useful). EB1T is a 1xCR123/RCR123 light, you could also try the EB2T which is a 2xCR123 (might take 1x18650, not sure). ThumperACC

    Calypso, this is good to hear. When did you place your order? I placed mine on October 11 and was told mine will ship about a week after shipping begins. ThumperACC

    I too lived through the period 4 years ago when Henry was having all his production problems, where any time he was asked the response would be 'in a couple of weeks'. I don't see that happening here. On October 12 (6 weeks ago) Henry told me about 6 weeks. 4 weeks ago, Henry told someone on...

    Wow, the silence in here is deafening. :rolleyes: So, I emailed Henry last week to inquire about how the rotary redesign is going and when I might expect my Tactical rotary to ship. He said " We had a part show up late but we anticipate resuming shipping by late next week. " This was last...

    The advantage I can think of (or the reason I would go with the flood reflector) is bulk or lack there-of. But I really like the versatility and the beam shots, I have seen, are great with the F04. Oh, and the reason I would consider making the HDS a flood is that I carry 2 lights, the other...

    bkpdle, thanks for this. I have ordered an F04 to go with my new rotary. I will go with this for a while. If I find I 'always' have the flood filter on, I will order the diffuse reflector. It is an inexpensive way to see if I prefer flood ($12 vs $42). ThumperACC
