Sold/Expired WTT: HDS (Long Shot) 3 O'clock High (5000K) for 5 O'clock High (4000K) trade.

Recently picked up a 3 O'clock High HDS Rotary (5000K). Looking to trade for a 5 O'clock High (4000K)
-Silver bezel with extended button. Will trade head only if needed.

I know this is a real long shot as there were only a few of the 4000K made but it never hurts to ask.

Good luck on your hunt. Someone may be willing to swap. Folks like to try out different things. Me personally, I am 1000% satisfied with my 4000K HDS rigs. Unexpectedly it turned out to be my ideal "do everything light".
I ended up with a Clickie and a Rotary. The Rotary sees main use, the Click is my back up in case I loose the Rotary or it gets jacked by some knucklehead. It only took me a year of having it as a "WTB 4K Rotary" in my signature line to finally score one! So you never know! Also, I suggest you PM Hogo, just to let him know. He may run across one or know of one??

FWIW: I think back then I sent a PM to everyone I knew that had one! lol They are a rare score. I would likely snap up another Rotary if it were to pop up for sale.

Is the standard HDS 200 very different?

By my experience the standard 200 is much cooler (I ve had 2 and currently 1 of those is for sale). The 200 hicri is not a cool tint at all as far as I m aware.

I'm sorry by standard I meant the only current 200 which is HI CRI and I thought 4000k?

Just curious, what emitter was used in the 5 O'clock High?

Sorry guys, if I may clarify,
5 o clock is 5000k, there were only 4 lights created with the 4000k 219c

The high noon is 5700k

I ve been told the current 200hicri does have a bit of a different tint, maybe purplish when compared to the other hicri lights side by side but I can't confirm as I ve not seen the current 200 hicri.

I believe you are correct
the 200 afaik is a N219b 4000k:
(with the exception of group buy custom models usdiver mentions, that use N219c, which is not a stock option)

see the HDS FAQ


Here is how to tell if an HDS is high CRI (note the non standard use of the term "Neutral" White, which is a Henryism meaning no less than 85 CRI)

Neutral white versions typically provided 140 and 170 lumens with a color rendering index of at least 85. The high CRI lights typically provided 100, 120 and 200 lumens with a color rendering index of at least 90.

The calibrated light output can be determined by the colored ring (or lack of one) on the positive contact. 100 lumens is yellow, 120 lumens is either green or no ring with "everyday carry" on the bezel, 140 lumens is either blue, white (GT) or no ring, 170 lumens is purple, 200 lumens is red, 250 lumens is orange and 325 lumens is yellow.
