HDS Action Light

nbp · Jan 23, 2019

There hasn't been a new Action Light thread in about 15 years, so I thought it was time to start one.

I am very grateful to have been able to acquire one recently and I'd like to post a few pics. I would love if you other folks who have one of these neat little pieces of HDS history tucked away shared yours too.

Very nice. Will you be getting some batteries for it too?

nbp · Jan 23, 2019

It does power up still on the 3 levels, but eventually I may order a new battery for it since the one in it is quite old. I would hate for it to leak, even if unlikely.

What's it take?

A somewhat unusual lithium D cell.

It uses a D size 3 volt lithium primary.

I wonder if it would run on a Titanium Innovations CRAA 3 volt lithium battery inside a D to AA spacer?
Maybe a LiFePO4 32600?

Since its usage will probably be measured in minutes per year, rechargeables don't really make sense for my needs. I can buy one of those funky D cells every half decade. The cell in there now has been inside for 18 years...

It is a nice catch this action light. I was also thinking about bidding on it but at least, adding the shipping on it and everything was it not worth to me. It is a great collectible and piece of history! Congratulations to this cool light!:twothumbs

That light is like a leathery old man that just refuses to die. I love it. Do get another battery and extend its life by a few more decades.
