Can anyone with an 18650 body post the length of the overall light, from front crenelation to the rearmost metal (exclude raised button if present)?

I'm trying to mock up the differences in length between the stock model which I have (3.7"), the previously posted 18500 length (4.4") and the 18650 which I'm unsure of. Thanks!

The 18650 measures 5"...
 
By the way, here someone wrote that HDS switch is not as reliable as rotary SF. I cannot find this place in the search. I would like to move this message to that place.

That is back in a closed and locked thread. The real issue was that they were mad at Henry because Henry wouldn't listen to them and all their great ideas. Was even sending Henry emails in all caps as they were upset because Henry would just send links to the HDS website with the information that individual couldn't find on their own which was pretty obvious research wasn't one of their strong suits. More misinformation from that one than in a year of watching CNN.

Now I remember something like this
 
Damaged in shipping... or opening.

Just curious: has anyone done measurements comparing the XPG-2 to the SST-20 or even just be sight side-by-side? I know longer have an HDS with an XPG-2, but I am impressed by the reach of the SST.
 
I just purchased a special run group buy Rotary with a Nichia 219c 2700k on the secondary market and I am very impressed with this light! The warm glow of this incandescent like light puts a smile on my face.

That was a nice score, I had a 3000K and would have rather had the 2700K or 3500K.

The 2700k is brilliant. I was lucky enough to get in on the group buy and wouldn't sell it for anything. It's great outdoors at night, nice incandescent look.
 
The 2700K is great. At all I like the 2700-3500K 219C Lights. The 3500K 219C is kind of rare. There are only 4 Rotaries made by HDS in Hogos final Group buy. Here are all Information about this legendary "Low K" group buy! In the linked posting is the compare of all 219C HDS lighs...

That is a great looking light!

Thanks, yours as well. My new light prevented me from buying the 2700K when it first listed. The 325 NLT had already been ordered so I decided to be financially responsible / not gluttonous 😆
 
Any plans for another Low K(<4000) offering in the future?

Currently no... but currently I am juggling chainsaws and swords while being poked by badges with forks. Very hectic right now at the HDS lab.
Once things calm down and the BeCu lights are out the door, then the stainless lights are out the door, and a myriad of fires I started get put out... I will check into it. A lot will depend on if various worthy low k emitters are available somewhere.

So you're saying there a chance.
