I have not bought the light yet, so far waiting as information has come out. I would have to agree with the others so far that the original blue is better. The original blue is beautiful, unique and more alive. The navy (dark) blue wouldn’t stop me from purchasing the light because it is still different than the typical black but the original blue would make the decision easier. I trust if enough people at the factory said the dark blue looks better, then it will in person.
Either you prefer the original vivid metallic blue, or the new navy blue I consider looking like (matte) denim.
But people who made a down or full payment for a blue light did that based on the original colour, and not the new colour.
Slight variation in colour as a result of bulk production is possible, but I do not consider this change a slight variation; it’s a different colour.
It makes me also wonder whether tan/yellow will result in a more matte variation instead of what it is now on first page. And of course, why should green be the same?
Nothing wrong with the navy blue but i think those that ordered the deep blue should get that since the colors are only available in this groupbuy right? its a bit difference between them for sure not sure how i would react if i wanted deepblue and saw that… oh well i made choice for the green color anyways.
Also i dont see this listed yet but, will the lights has some form of IP protection against water or ?
