Team Flush or Team Raised? Which HDS button do you prefer? Vote in the poll above (web view in CPF app) and tell me why down below! (another pic by me...)
This one's much harder than the other for me. In a black-n-white world, which is what this poll represents, I have to choose flush. Because tailstanding. But I do really like raised and keep raised lights around too. Can I vote twice?
Team Flush! The raised button responds poorly to lateral pressure. I have other ways to assist the raised button with tail standing but life is better when the light balances on its own.
Where I live, with the thick gloves I have to wear much of the winter, a flush button is almost impossible to activate. With cowhide work gloves I wear much of the time at work, the flush button also becomes a pain. Tail-standing is handy at times, but generally I prefer raised. I'm thinking to get a clip on Hogo holster without the battery holder...makes a good way to tail stand a raised.
In the event of a scenario requiring immediate tail-standing functionality (and presuming some unlikely sequence of events have rendered the dozen or so other nearby lights, with this built-in feature, inoperable) ... just click HDS on, and swap the diffuser from the bezel to the switch.
