Pretty much exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much. Sparingly using the locator beacon when in need seems to be the way to go.

Seems like anyone using a flashlight nightly will not lose significant runtime with the locater beacon on, right? Maybe keep activated at night only? (Helpful if one rises before dawn)

I think if you're using your light regularly, the locator beacon at worst might move up your battery swap by a few days. This should not be an issue unless you have a CR123A in there and expecting full juice after setting it aside for a few months!

My favorite EDC at the moment
 
Love the old school stuff...................... still feel it is some of the best .................... love the clickily lights. They have been dead reliable.

My take away is that if you are actively using the light and cycling through cells with any regularity, then the locator beacon adds insignificant amounts of battery consumption.

I've always left my locator beacon active and since I have to recharge anywhere from daily to weekly, not enough drain to matter.
 
I almost never turn the locator beacon off, and my rechargeable batteries easily last for weeks with regular daily use of my Rotary. The small amount of extra drain is really not worth worrying about.
 
Hi,

Does anyone know where I can source new HDS flat tailcap rubbers?

As I was a HDS dealer at the time, Henry shipped me a few spares years ago but they’ve all split and gone to heaven.

My last cap rubber is ready to split too. I sent HDS an email 2 years ago and didn’t get a response!

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James….🙂

Hogo, i know it’s been said before but i can’t for the life of me find it now, what’s the maximum comfortable battery length for the regular cr123 battery tube? I’ve seen all kinds of batteries recommended up to 37mm in length or somesuch, but if you could weigh in before i put some almost 36mm long Keeppowers in it and mash them i’d be grateful.

Thank you kindly, just to make it a lot easier later on and if someone googles it i’ll just add this then:

HDS Systems max length battery 16340 CR123 36 mm.

I don’t know if it’d be worth adding it to the HDS FAQ either sometime later, thank you for the clarification now though.
 
The XP-E 3700K is a gorgeous emitter. Beautiful tint, and some of the best color rendering you'll find in an LED, comparable to that of an incandescent source.
 
I ordered my first HDS flashlight. I was torn between configurations and color temperatures, but decided on 4500k for ease of use in everyday life. Personally, I prefer a lower color temperature, but I'll think about that next time I order. The crazy exchange rate made it very expensive. The delivery time is supposed to be 5 weeks, but I am looking forward to receiving it.
