HDS Systems EDC #22

[Dicaeopolis]

My first HDS was an Executive with the NLT. My second was from Battery Station, an Executive with CREE-XPG2 (I assume). It has a nice cool tint. It is not green at all, like some of the pictures I have seen. I have been pondering getting a rotary, and after seeing these new pictures I ordered one yesterday morning with the stainless tail cap. I chose the SS40 to go with that. I really like the Executive and figured out the programming no problem, but I can see how the rotary would be very useful in certain situations. Definitely excited to get my first rotary. HDS is the ultimate EDC that I know of.

Good grief. I did a little selling to ease my guilt, then just ordered a NLT, silver head and tail, rotary, flush button - boom - 18680. Okay, I'm done. No more flashlights....



...until....

Daaang that is a nice clip. [emoji57]

Yup. Bring back the screw holes and all our clip problems disappear. I drilled those myself.

I have learned to not use a clip for my rotary, and I am a HUGE clip guy. My executives have clips.

It's a bit absurd when you think of it. A round light w/o a clip to stop it from rolling.

I am a clip maniac too. That Armytek clip I posted above is one of the better solutions I've found that doesn't involve poking my own holes in a $335 flashlight. Haha. Trying to decide if I want to keep that on or put on a Ti Moddoo clip under the bezel. It's then bezel up which isn't my preference but the clip is very good, so....

Or I could put the big expensive proto universal clip on it. That might be the best. I have it on my bedside Rotary now so that one doesn't really need a clip I suppose.

Does the Armytek clip not scratch the ano? I took the clip off my 1L 1 AA as I was worried about damage. Then I put it back on as it was useful.

I really like the oveready clip under the bezel. I know it's bezel up which is also not my preference but I think for the rotary it is best because it does not interfere with rotary operation like a bezel down clip would.

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

I don't like any of the clip options, I'm used to clipless now lol.

I'm lucky - I don't use clips. Everyone is different, though. But having no clip is perfect for me.

Ehh, if you mess with it on/off a lot it might. I would not use it on my cerakote lights but on an HA light, they're users anyways. Haha.

I have a spare Moddoo I got for the HA NAT vaporware light, so I could try that if I get annoyed with the others. I used to do that with a Twisty years ago since those had no clip options either.

That's like not wearing underwear for me... flashlight flopping around in my pocket... no thanks. 🤣🤣

A little modification to this design would be pretty sweet....

Just wasn't able to get machine shop on board.

The proto works perfectly.

Workday EDC dump on the tailgate of my Ram. Also, I put the deep carry uni clip on the Silvertail. I think this will stay on here for a while. It works well. My orange Rotary with pumpkin spice reflector sits in a valet tray on my nightstand so it can't roll away anyways and doesn't often get clipped in a pocket.

Stay cool.

Two HDS, one Nichia 219 and one NLT. On a white door, at one foot. Are you certain which is which?

NLT on the left, Nichia on the right.

Programming question, I think I know the answer but want to be sure. The only way to push/hold from off to max on my rotary is true momentary? unless pseudo is set and I'm already dialed up to max?

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Correct

 

[Random Dan]

If you have preset A set to max then you can click once and then hold for momentary max.
