HDS Systems #23

[Hogokansatsukan]

Regarding holsters, I bought a combo pack of lights a year back or so on here, and it ended up having what looks like an e-series holster that fits this rotary perfectly. I can't make out the logo on the back, so I'm not sure what brand this is.

I resemble that mark...
Thor's Hammer Custom Leather. Currently not taking orders as the owner/operator has been working on an ambulance an average of 86 hours a week for the last two years, and is currently back in school to up his certification so he can do more invasive procedures on people in the boo boo bus.

Advanced EMT or Paramedic?

 

[tech25]

I believe he mentioned a while back that he was going for Medic.

Edit: I stand corrected.

They just opened Advanced EMT in AZ. I figured I wasn't working enough and had a few spare hours of free time each month so... I doubt I will ever go to Paramedic as it just doesn't fit with my "prepper" mentality. Most of what we can do as an Advanced EMT here is what we are already doing as EMTs anyway as our medical control is big on giving us the tools and training for working in the sticks where a hospital can be an hour away by boo boo bus, and a trauma center 45 minutes away... by chopper.
I tend to prefer the training and skills where you are not getting to go to a hospital... and most paramedic stuff, if you are not going to get to a hospital, you are most likely not going to make it. Too many hours of training for that that I just don't have the desire to do right now. Top the HDS stuff on top of it and it is just too much for an old fart.
I'm actually at quarters right now on a 96 hour shift. Just got back from an MVA on I-10. I'll get off work Thursday morning at 0800, go to school from 0900-1700 Thursday, then go to HDS on Friday, then back at work on Saturday for a 48 hour shift finishing up on Monday at 0800, then back in class Monday morning... shall I go on? LOL! Only two weeks of class left thank goodness. Oh, and I work 100 miles from home, so there is that commute too.

I don't blame you at all. There has to be a huge desire for all the stuff that goes with Medic. It gets tougher as you get older too, so I also sympathize with the "old fart" part (I resemble that!) It's getting tougher to get up at all hours of the night for either crap or sheer chaos. My Medic License is up at the end of August, and so am I. I'll keep an EMT license for my primary job in the industrial plants, but my days of running ALS are almost over.

I'm an Advanced EMT and volunteer with a rural ambulance service. I hear ya on that "old fart" thing. I just re-certified, but at 73 YO this will probably be my last one. Definitely a young man's game!!

73? Bless you for hanging in that long! That's outstanding.

Can anyone tell me what LED this is? Is in an executive clicky with the red ring on the contact. So that should be 200 lumens.

Thanks, that makes sense.
Any idea what temperature it might be? Looks about 4000k-4500k to my untrained eye.

the AWB messes with the color of the phosphor, but maybe?

LED looks like NB4, so 4000k

 

[jon_slider]

agree,
triangle is 219b, and thats an old green pcb (new ones are white), so 4000K is most likely. (HDS expanded to sw45k and other 219b cct in 2018 iirc)

 

[Kalsu]

@neco & @jon_slider thank you for the information. You have both been more than helpful.

 

[ilikeguns40]

Anyone have any NA45 beamshots?

This one came from Oveready, it's a 250 lumen but closer to 4800k.. Possibly a proverbial 4735k Hi-Cri

 

[indigon]

My other light that technically doesn't exist..

.. This should give you a rough comparison:

 

[jon_slider]

any NA45 beamshots?

no, but here are what the 219A, B, and C LEDs look like:

 

[ilikeguns40]

Yeah I know what the 219b look like. The NA is the 519a 4500k emitter. Just wanted to see if someone had any beamshots/tint shots of it. I’ve had them before in other lights and like them a lot.
