Don't tell anyone, but I am in possession of an HDS rotary.
It's okay, I guess. It's pretty good.
Funny, we have a town in Michigan named Hell. Really. And it froze over last week. I knew something big was about to happen

I'll have more thoughts on the rotary with time. I like it, but my clickies definitely will not be losing their jobs. For now, I'd like to share some thoughts on beam tint.
The 219B (R9050, 4000K): Always pleasant, but never dazzling. It's equally at home day and night, if you don't mind a bit of yellow. I frequently use it for creeping around the house in the wee hours and it has never disturbed my circadian rhythm. It presents itself as pure white in the evenings under 2700K fixed lighting.
Which LED emitter did your order with the Rotary? Also, any thoughts on going to 3000K or 3500K in High CRI Nichia 219C?

...you almost make me want to try an R9080 despite my own decision to never buy cooler than 4000k.

My favorite range is the 3-3.5k range and that's what I've got coming with both the bronze and titanium Rotary....any thoughts on going to 3000K or 3500K in High CRI Nichia 219C?
Exactly, that's the one!3500k 9080 would be sweet, sweet!.
You can see the 3500k looks nothing like the 4000k, and imo this photo is not an accurate comparison. But photos are very difficult to use to compare beams, unless all the beams are shot side by side, at the same daylight white balance.Here is a base of some of the emitters taken off from a FB group.
InvisibleFrodo, you have my respect for doing your homework, and I thank you for reminding me that the 219b 3500k 9080 is not as efficient as the 219b 4500k 9080, the 3000k 219c, and 3500k 219c.I was looking forward to trying to get one of the 180 lumen 9080 3500k offerings in an aluminum clicky when they finally make their way into general availability
Nichia 219b 3500k 9080 will be added. There is a chance that this emitter will not reach 200 lumens at the levels that we drive our lights, but an estimated 180 lumens.
He said, "You fixed me. I didn't know I needed a flashlight but now I can't function without it." Aside from the odd looks from other patrons of the establishment, it all seemed quite normal to me.
Thors Hammer holster?
Still working on that, although he said he's thinking of a shoulder rig for his basic edc gear. He doesn't like things on his belt. It's an interesting idea if you frequently wear a jacket.
