A beautiful woman should not wear too much jewelry (she is not a christmas tree).
A beautiful car should have next to zero stickers on the boot (no DOHC-32V, gran turismo, limited edition)
This is a (very) beautiful light: keep it as clean as possible. Max.= TLF/BLF-special
I really like the picture with the light in the hand, in fact it is the picture that shows best how it is going to look like. I like the smooth finish too!
(for me a rough machine finish sounds not overly attractive, I like well finished flashlights with a good ano-layer. the best finish I have seen sofar is my Shadow TC300, in matt dark-brown ano.)
Off of a lathe, you can get a variety of surface finishes. If your cutter is sharp and is fed into the material at the right rate, you can achieve a very nice and lightly textured look and feel. If you want something different, you can hit it with different grits of sandpaper to achieve a matte, satin or even mirror-polished look. I suppose the final surface will depend on the agreed-upon treatment after it is machined to shape.
I kinda like the shinier look as opposed to the satin look in the last picture but that’s just me.
Please add me to the interest list. :) Is this ramping thing the same as infinite modes? Or does this light have a fixed set of modes, like low medium - high?
Thanks. Guess I should be reading more and looking at pics less. Sorry for the confusion. For this specific light, I am out, but that doesn't I don't think its an awesome light. It is awesome and I look forward to seeing what it branches out to as time passes.
