Re: Ra Twisty part 2
First off I have no intension of selling my 100Tr. If that is what it is. As i have no light meter to test it and compairing it to other lights, well i can't tell the differance between 85 - 120 lumen there isn't that much differance. It dosen't bother me enough to send in to have it checked. Exept for the price differance. This is not ment to knock Henry or RA in any way. It would be nice if the bezal had the model ingraved on it. Hopfully the Clickity, when it comes out, yes I will buy one, will have the model on it.

It would certainly be an improvement to have the model number engraved somewhere permanent on the light, but that may not be practical at this point. If HDS had engraved 70-TR Twisties as such, then found them to actually be capable of 85lm (or 100's as 120's) they would have had to strip all the bezels off and get new engraving. It may not have been many, but still a hassle.
I think the easiest and quickest way of solving this problem would be to use a high-adhesive printed label, much like that of Milkyspit, and wrap it around the bezel, over the engraving but with the info on the opposite side so that it wasn't obstructing view of the name and serial #. It'd be best if done directly after calibration, so that there couldn't be any confusion down the line.
Surely, it may peel and come off after use, but hopefully by then the user would remove it and store it somewhere for later verification if they indeed sold their torch.
That's just my lumen on the matter though.. I'd say that HDS has had plenty of experience, and will produce the torches how they see fit.
