This is an interest thread for an HDS 4000k XP-L Neutral group buy.
This is the 2nd​ and FINAL group buy on these lights. They will not be offered again nor made a regular item by HDS.

The led would be this: Cree XP-L 4000k

Group buy rules:
Please do not PM Hogo. My PM box get's overloaded. Please keep e-mails to a minimum. Everyone benefits from your questions, so post in the forum. It also keeps everything out in the open. If you positively, absolutely have to contact me via email, use this address:
hogokansatsukan (the symbol) gmail.com

Cost: 123 tube: $325
18680 tube add: $49
2AA tube add: $63


Yes, you can get accessories shipped with your light. Cost is the same as on the HDS web site. I offer this so that you can save on shipping. Please don't email me asking what they cost. Point your browser to the HDS web site and figure out on your own. If you can't do this, the light is probably too complicated for you anyway!


I'm going to say expect about 4 months for delivery. I will post updates as things progress, so please don't email asking for updates. Post in the forum, but if you can't be patient, the group buy is not for you!

When completed, I will be shipping them out via USPS Priority Small Flat Rate Box which cost $5.80 for CONUS and $26.00 for overseas (this is actual cost.) If you want it insured, let me know. I ship at cost, so whatever the post office charges me, that is the rate. If you don't get insurance, you take the risk. As of yet, no lights have been lost by the post office.

Like the other group buy threads, please post:

1. Interface (clicky, rotary, tactical, etc)
2. Battery tube (123, 18650, AA)
3. Tail (extended or flush)
4. Bezel (black or silver)
5. Accessories you would like shipped with the light.
6. Thor''s Hammer Custom Holster if you want one with description of the holster.


When you post, post the prices of everything next to the items including shipping, and the total.


If it's not posted in the thread, it does not exist, so make sure it is posted and also that I updated everything in this first post.
Once we have enough folks, I will start collecting "most" of the funds for the lights and get the ball rolling. You will need to Paypal all but $20 of the funds. The last $20 will need to be sent via Paypal just before shipping (and your shipping address in Paypal MUST be correct at this time!)


Once you have sent funds, there is no cancellation. YOU will be sent the light. If you want to sell it to someone else before shipping, YOU will still be sent the light, and it is up to you to ship it to whomever decided to buy it from you. I need to keep this as uncomplicated for me as possible. I do very much understand that "life happens" and things pop up that you didn't expect, so please make sure you fully understand that once you commit, you are in.


I will keep this feeler open until the end of the month. If we have enough people (10) it will be a go and you will have a week or so to send the funds. While I can take Money Orders, personal checks, credit cards, etc. That last $20 will HAVE TO be sent via Paypal just before shipping. After the last Paypal fiasco, I don't know what else to do here to make it simpler to make sure everyone get's exactly what they want.


If your name is in bold, it means you have paid. PLEASE check this list carefully. If there is ANY discrepancies, please let me know by posting. No PM's!
The list is in the order that people have paid. Thanks! Hogo.

I'm in for one, details to follow. Would it be possible to get one built in a 123 Cerakote host?

I'll have to check with Henry when he get's back and see if there are any Cerakoted lights that have not been built. If that is the case, then yes, but give me a couple days to find out what he may have available.

I'm in, Hugo, details to follow in the morning when I'm back at a computer.

I'm also interested in knowing if a Cerakote option is available. I've been falling all over myself to get one in Magpul OD. So if we're able to Cerakote than I won't be able to get the money to you quick enough.

Thanks again for setting this up buddy! [emoji6]

Post #1 updated.

Please be sure to keep checking post 1, espicially if you decide to make any changes. If I don't update post 1, the changes have not been made!

Holy Crap Batman! In one day and 14 have signed up. Well, I guess we already know that this is going to be a definite go.

I'll talk with Henry tomorrow about the Cerakote and see what is available on this run.

Hogo out.

The lumen output is 200? The tail cap is removable, right? So I could get both a flat and protruding button, and just swap them at will, right?

Lumen output is 325 and for the clicky the tailcap screws off and you can indeed switch between a flat and protruding button. For the rotary switching them out is not possible/very difficult/not recommended. It probably can be done but it's not easy so if you want to switch often get the clicky.
