If you had bothered to read the rules before complaining you'd see that moderating the first few posts from a new member eliminates spammers, both human and bot. It serves a real purpose.

Yes. That's how I took that. When you mentioned you didn't understands the minimum post rules on other forums and then said you were off to ebay, I read some sarcasm in that.
I'm glad you're not upset and.....:welcome:
Yeah, sorry about that. I actually was kind of baffled at the hate and looked back at what I wrote. I know I had a couple of drinks, but I usually get nicer when I do that.
I realized that it could be read either way (pos or neg).Thanks for the welcome!
I think it's kinda odd that the Marketplace is a separate forum. The others that I frequent have their marketplaces integrated, so all active members have immediate access.
BTW, I should have about three more weeks (if I'm lucky) before my Clicky 200 arrives.

Well, I had a negative impression too when I read your posting earlier but I just didn't bother to correct you, in case I misunderstood you.Yeah, sorry about that.

Thanks for the welcome!
^^^ Exactly my thoughts. I took it as "pffft, I can't be bothered with these useless restrictions, forget, I'll just go to ebay." There are plenty of those folks.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. :grouphug: In the meantime, you can make your three posts in the MP and have full privileges soon; it's a super place to buy and sell.

Some good threads out there about the MP and CPF being separate. Partly logistics, partly to keep discussion and business separate and prevent people from hawking their products in every other thread around here. Isn't it nice to discuss without people trying to sell you something all the time?
Andy is so much nicer than me, lol. :kiss:

Are people receiving there new lights from Henry or as there been another hold up,I knew a few had received there Hi-Cri Rotary's but it seems to have died down a bit.
I spoke with HDS systems a few weeks ago in regards to warranty/repair work on my light and I was advised that I may want to hold off on sending the light in due to on going supply issues. Unfortunately the light's issues became progressively worse making the light unreliable so back it went. While I don't expect a speedy turn a round I'm hoping it's not months.

I have not been on here for a while but while reading this article(with my Rotary in my pocket) I could not help but think of Henry. I think there are some interesting parallels to be made between Henry and this tailor. I thought in the context of comparing it to Henry you guys might find it interesting. Sounds like there is still a long wait for a HDS. This article makes me wonder if it is just the nature of a light of this quality...or of anything of this level of quality to have to wait.

I just received an email from Henry about the HCRI Clicky I ordered on Dec. 31st of last year. He said he's still waiting on one part to complete my light. He said it would be at least a couple of weeks. I'm still sure it will be worth the wait.

The updated reflector is already more throwy than the original introduced with the Acme threaded line of lights (smaller, brighter hot spot verses a less defined hot spot with brighter spill). I'm not sure you would want to modify it to introduce even more throw unless you're looking for a beam pattern similar to a theater spotlight.
I just received an HDS 170 (Golden Dragon) from a seller in the Marketplace and I am blown away by the tint, beam quality and throw with this light and emitter combination!
I know Henry has stopped using the GDP emitters in the 170, but this one really shines. Having owned almost every LED Henry has offered recently I keep coming back to the Golden Dragon and XP-G HCRI as my favorites.
What is your favorite HDS emitter?

That'd be pretty neat, actually. My needs and uses lead me to purchase small, relatively throwy lights. I love my prev. gen Ra Clicky 140n's beam profile, and updated it awhile ago with an R2 XP-E. I prefer lights with a tight, concentrated hot spot that can illuminate objects at 50+ yards in a well lit urban environment. Every XP-G light that I've liked has suffered from a concentrated enough beam to meet this goal in a small pocket light, which is why I've stuck with the XP-E.
The XP-G2 seems to allow a chance to upgrade to a new. gen rotary or clicky and have my cake and eat it, too. I was glad to hear when the reflector profile changed to enhance throw [although most readily noticed was apparently the reduced hot spot "donut" hole at close range, which is also welcome]. Unfortunately, very few reviews are available, especially by those who have the new generation clicky's in both reflector profiles, and by those who can take lux measurements to compare the two. This has been the only thing holding me back [well, that and an acute lack of funds recently].
I loved the 140w with the SSC P4. Followed closely by the XP-G, which still offers considerable flood with more throw.
I am constantly impressed with the current 3700K hcri led that HDS is using. I like it more than the 3000K hcri cree and nichia 219 from illuminationsupply, as well as liking it more than ZL's 4000K 85+ cri rebel. All of them are pretty great but for the range of .08 to120 lumens I think 3700K is about perfect. A higher temperature would be better in a much brighter light.
