Hey Jake,
I'm a newbie to the board, just joined today. I've been interested in obtaining a sturdy LED flashlight that is clicky, has multiple output settings, and has the highest CRI possible. I bought a Peak Logan with the Nichia 219 a month ago. Really like the output, but it's very inconvenient for my needs since you have to rotate it with pretty much two hands to get it to the right setting. I'm an oral surgery resident and I spend a lot of time looking in people's mouths, with one hand holding an instrument, and the other hand holding a flashlight haha...
It looks like the HDS Rotary is also a great light, but it doesn't come with the Nichia 219 and after e-mailing Henry at HDS and Craig at Illumination Supply, it doesn't look like the HDS Rotary will come stock with the Nichia 219 anytime soon.
I put in the words HDS and Nichia 219 and your name came up multiple times because of this thread. Can't PM you because I just joined the forum, but wanted to ask you about the mod. I saw that you like your customers to put the Nichia 219 from Illumination supply and then ship you the LED along with the HDS flashlight. Just wondering if it matters which HDS light I buy, for you to mod it correctly?
Cheers,
Simon
