Torches are another part of my OCD. This is just a small sampling of my addiction and they all get pocket time.

From reading the post that quoted your picture and post saying that he recognized your Prometheus lights, it got me curious so I started looking at Prometheus lights and they are something else. I don't have any nice edc flashlights but I am looking for a nice one and if you had any suggestions it would be much appreciated. In the picture in your post, what are the two lights in the front and the first 2 lights in the second row on the right side, those look really cool too.

I've learned a little since mistakenly seeing a Prometheus light in the above photo. It you want to get into the upper end of flashlights I'd suggest looking into HDS lights, Mcgizmo's lights & Mac's customs

I'm sure there's more nice flashlights but as for who they are and as for your particular question, like I said: I've only learned a little

Excellent advise, the flashlight that got me hooked years ago was the HDS 60GT (the ones in the front row) and I still have them after all these years. The ones in the second row from the right are a Mr. Bulk and a Micheal Jordan (MJ) build, both excellent but can only be had on the secondary market now. My advise is to go with what BLADE_SICKness suggested and you wouldn't be disappointed.

I just bought a maratac AAA in polished stainless! Can't wait to get it

Haha. Your hooked now!

Glad to hear you like the copper AA. They definitly make great little edc/task lights.

I carry a Fenix S2 LD12 clipped to my left front pocket.

Has everyone seen the new copper CR123 single cell pocket light by Maratac, just out I believe, and a limited run?
260 lumens (high setting of 3 settings)on a single CR123 cell and only 3" long overall. Have one ordered and inbound.

Speaking of Maratac

With some EDC goodies:

Off topic I know, But another note on the Maratacs,

I just found out that Maratac has a new clicky version of the copper AA.
Same light just with a tail clicky and different user interface. It has the same kinda interface that the old Nitecore defender infinity had if anyone remembers that.

Looks interesting.

I would buy one but Im not sure how well copper can hold up to edc on my keys/being dropped, banged around ect.

One year after I ordered a Custom Rotary HDS (high CRI, sapphire, svr bzl, blk bdy, 123 with flush btn), the postal person finally delivered it today. I own more than a few torches and If a High CRI is important to you, don't miss out on this one, it's that special and worth the wait.

Awesome lights. I currently own an HDS EDC clicky 170 with black bezel and flush button. I have a high CRI clicky on order that should be here the first part of May. They are incredible lights. Well made and customizable to your hearts content. Nice knife to. Mine is at the spa getting worked over right now.

Prometheus Alpha Blue Label with my ever favorite Ti Lock

Thanks to Maprik for the Anodize!

I would love to get a Prometheus light. Very classy looking and well made. Nice pair!

dinokay · Apr 20, 2013

Henry makes one hell of a Flashlight, Nice on the high CRI, you'll love it. All I carry these days is the rotary, love the flexibility of the different levels of low in this torch.

What brand light is this? I like the looks of it. Never seen it before.

Yes he does. I carry mine everywhere. The fit and finish are superb. I am pretty excited about the high CRI light. I have a couple other lights that are high CRI (Sunwayman V11r and a 4 sevens that I changed the LED in), but i have read that the HDS high CRI is in a league of its own.

Looks like a Chapman/Leonard LensLight. Not sure which model that is though.
Edit: Not a TAD Edition as noted per franzdom below.

It is a standard LensLight Mini with smooth bezel, could be an older titanium as the new ones have metal clips or an aluminum one tan color with delrin clip.

I do not think it is a TAD edition as those had ti clips and crenelated bezels.

Kalsu · Apr 22, 2013

Thanks for the info. I found them. They look pretty nice.

Where have you found the info about it. I don't see anything about them on countycomm. Thanks!
