HDS Systems EDC LE Flashlight - Perfect for EDC or Law Enforcement use #military #police #edc

I really love that you get to customise major components of the order. But I just saw the price for a custom 18650 rotary setup... US$515 for a well-built 325lm light is still hard as f to justify (i) pulling the trigger and (ii) telling myself it's bright enough to be deemed a primary light for anything serious (not becoming a primary light likely means it won't see much use and thereby become just a well-built pocket jewellery that may outlive me). 35,000cd @ 1000lm without stepdown with stepless rotary ring from 1lm + TA30C's UI minus the strobe would literally be a holy grail for me.

i was wondering when HDS Systems would show up here. I've owned a 188650 Rotary 200 lumen High CRI for about 8 years. Just recently picked up a 16340 Rotary with the 5000K Hi CRI Samsung LH351D emitter. I have that emitter in other lights and love it.. A little bit brighter, and a bit more throw. Still built for long run times. That's why Henry takes an emitter that can produce 1000 lumens, but only drives them to max efficiency. At some point using power to produce lumens you reach a point of diminishing returns. These lights take a CR123 to maximum efficiency. That's why they are "The Light That Gets You Home.".

Great video. I have so far bought several of them starting from EDC Ultimate 60 in 2005. The rotary one is in my disaster prep kit. LE with long throw is part of my EDC, too. They are not the brightest, but they excel in the department of constant output through their runtime, dual fuel capability and reliability. Very unique and user oriented light with no frills.

Great video, as always. I think if you get an Eiger Ultra from Peak LED Solutions, you'll have a complete collection of every fantastic light that's made in America! The Logan 17500 from them with the battery kit might also be a neat choice. Not only are you often to only channel reviewing these lights, but you've got really the most helpful reviews.

Interesting light. I never heard of them but they are bulletproof.

Solid upgrade is a streamlight protac pocket clip for better retention. The stock one feels to slick when pocketing and not very secure

SHAME THIS DESIGN AND TECH IS 20+ YEARS OLD..NOT TO MENTION THE INSANE COST. GET A FENIX

LEO wouldn’t use a light below 500 lumens. It’s not bright enough. The light is too short for a tail switch/hammer fist use. The light emitter tends to be buried too close to the hand with the thumb awkwardly crammed. The assertion that this a LE light shows the manufacturer/designer isn’t familiar with LEO needs and or actual LE experience. Too many concessions in design for common LE usage. Could be a pocket backup, definitely not a primary light. This light being impacting by shot fired from a shotgun is entertaining but ultimately unimpressive.
