I check in (read) posts periodically. I find the dialogue about lights in general more odd/interesting especially about the HDS.
I don't find the following Odd, I find the struggle to find something wrong with the light odd.
I hear :
It's too Big (really?)
It's too Heavy (again, Really?)
It's not bright enough for me to get my work done, to see, to see what I'm looking at ( ???)
I get it. Just like ANY Hobby (Golf, Knives, Guns, Cars) the Hobbiest is always looking for the next greatest thing.
If they weren't I guess it wouldn't be a Hobby but, I don't see how these lights can be found lacking in the areas most found fault in.
Sturdy is almost never Light in Weight and still affordable and as for size or Brightness.... again I just see this as nit picking.
IF these lights aren't bright enough (for the few that seem to find them so) I say - Wrong tool for the job.
My butter knife doesn't cut particularly well nor does my EDC knife spread butter very well.
Need to flag down a plane flying over - Maybe a search beacon is the answer.
As for EDC lights - I think the HDS is a Great Light.
