You have made me think about modding my older 200lm tactical clicky, though...
I think the most substantial difference from your 120 Clicky is that "moonlight" was decreased from .07 lumen to .02 lumen, so the perceived brightness of the lowest level was effectively cut in half, which is a significant difference for anybody who uses moonlight mode frequently. I find that .07 is almost too bright in the dead of night, so I've considered the upgrade but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Besides, a bottle-cap diffuser does a good job cutting the output, and it's way cheaper.Was looking at the HDS website and saw there is a way to upgrade the UI.
Is there a list of the progression of UI's?
I have a HCRI 120 clicky that is several years old and a 170 clicky that is about 2 years old and has the "candle" mode.
I just got a new Rotary in the last month.
Just wondering if upgrading the UI would be a good thing and what the latest clicky UI has that I don't?
I doubt it's worth upgrading, unless you have a Clicky without candle mode and you really want it.
I believe the first version with candle mode lowered the lowest output a little. This version also added the ability to turn on and off the locator beacon with four clicks from off.
A version later, the pure tactical hex click mode was added (six clicks from off for pure momentary output). The four click locator beacon required activation through the setup menu before use in this version.
In all I think there have been three versions with candle mode that I can remember. The first was 5 clicks from off, then 7 and I think the latest version is 9 clicks from off.
I hope at some point we see the return of the 3 click lockout. I hate untwisting the battery tube before pocket carry.
Could you post a direct link?I didn't see it mentioned here (maybe i missed it?) but you can now order just a head on the HDS Custom page.
Priced from $191-$301.

Can't find it.
You can go to http://www.hdssystems.com/Products/Custom/ and select the no battery compartment. I also just realized this option is now available. Thanks for the heads up.
