Well, after about 15 minutes of trying to nitpick, I personally find no difference between the "High Noon" and the stock 200lm "High CR-I" HDS offering. Side by side, the throw, spill, hotspot size, corona brightness, etc. all appear to be the same. Only difference is color tint. YMMV, don't hang your hat on my personal observations... :nana: .
I have both lights and I find that the 200 High CRI has a broader and less defined hotspot than the High Noon.
My 200 High CRI has the most recent design of the OP reflector that sits low, the High Noon the current smooth. I also find that the 170N with the older design OP that sits higher (on the LED) has a tighter more defined hotspot than my 200 High CRI.
Not sure of the difference between the High CRI and High Noon both using the smooth reflector though?
So I finally caved and I am in for 1 clicky. Wanted to get one of each but only sold one light to fund it.
So I have an HDS 200 HiCri. Those that have the HiCri and High noon, def worth getting the high noon? No regrets at all? Def a noticeable color in tint?
Just need that extra persuasion that It worth picking one up even if I have a HiCri. [emoji3]
I bet.Phew, glad to hear! Really can't wait for this second batch to go.
Hogo,
Is there a deadline if we don't make it to 24? Would Henry go ahead and still make this run even if we don't have 24 buyers?
Thanks froggy for the input. Darn, so might be awhile then since we are only at 14. Guess just have to be patient and keep waiting
deep breathing technique!Just buy the last 10 and be done with it!
I'm hoping to get in on this, but I'm hesitant to claim one until I can secure the finances and the mental/emotional space to own another HDS.
Just want to bump this up because I want to get another one.
