So, a 3-speed would just be something I'd have to click 3 times to turn on, instead of clicking twice; what makes PD so nice is I don't have to click at all, just push harder.
I see; I wasn't aware it had a last-mode memory. That makes it better.You don't understand the Haiku UI - it has memory and comes on in the last mode you had it. So if you only use high, it functions as a single mode light - on, off, always high. You have to rapid press to change levels so it's even easier than a PD.
That said, I think I prefer the PD myself as I use low a lot :devil:
Anyway, back to the original topic, I just noticed this was a feeler for a twisty, not a PD, and I have to admit I'm confused about the interest in a twisty-only light. If you want a twisty, buy a PD and never use the button. Problem solved!
I guess I can understand the simplicity factor. As for the concern about lint/water entry, I doubt it's more than a cosmetic issue because Don goes scuba diving with his PDs and people have run them through the washing machine a few times, all to no ill effect. The rings, if properly greased, shouldn't allow entry of anything unless you drop it to the bottom of the ocean.I can only speak for myself, but I prefer the simplicity of the twisty only III-T. It is slightly shorter than the PD an LS-20, which I also prefer. While the piston is a great design, it is also an entry point for lint, dirt, etc. and when submerged in water you are relying on the o-rings in the piston to keep water out.
I also prefer lights without trit and the original III-T had none.
The III-T was my first titanium light of the several dozen that I've owned over the years, and still the only one that I would really love to see re-released with today's leds. In today's ever changing (advancing) times of flashlights with fancy features, multiple light sources/color temperatures, there is still a place for the simplicity and elegance of the III-T (at least in my mind :tinfoil.
pcmike, dredging up a three year old thread. :laughing:
Hell yeah I'd be in for a III-T re-release! :twothumbs
a la the Ti 27LT. Eh, Graham? :naughty:How about a twisty dive light Don ?
