I’d go for the Purple, minus the branding flat and a bit more aggressive knurling……but all three look very Cool! :+1:
Well, that exact swirl is probably not going to be possible in ink, dye, or paint, but a rainbow anodize should be possible with a little creative engineering. IIRC, the color of the anodize isn’t directly related to the anodizing itself. It is a separate dye added in a (somewhat) separate part of the process. (again… IIRC) So, a motivated person could use several different colors of dye applied with ink-jet in rapid succession, during the normal colorizing part of the anodizing process, to get a rainbow of colors in the finish. It would mean installing an ink-jet machine in place of the color process machine they use for ‘regular’ single-color dyes. And, a bit of R & D to figure out the best work flow to get decent results.
I’VE WANTED AN ORANGE S2+ FOR SO LONG NOW
I like them, will probably have to purchase one of each for the fam
I got a purple ’501 that I have fitted with a 365nm LED. FT has the hosts for that.
A purple S2+ would be tres kewl. I’s swap the pills/ZWB2s from my UV S2+es into those.
Not directly related to the OP.
But this thread got me thinking. Has anyone ever used thermochromic paint (or powder coat) on a flashlight? I’d buy an S2 with that.
There have been a couple of guys on here selling powder-coat service to members. It was found to be not quite as tough as HA-III hard anodizing.
The new colors are cool, but I can’t really say I’m excited about it. I already have 18650 tube lights in red, green, blue, silver, bare, grey, black, brass, and titanium. And some slightly shapelier ones in copper. And more colors in other battery types. So it’s still cool, but I’m kind of swimming in lights already.
Like the purple. I think a LOT of manufacturers overlook how popular optional colors are. Many lights that come in black only could boost sales with colors like Convoy offers.
I was thinking of colour changing paint.
If we’ve run out of anodizing choices maybe the next step is a Hypercolor S2.
Colour change let’s you know when you can hit Turbo again.
No white, no fun. 
Is there no yellow? 
Links?
Yes more agressive knurling please.
Bored and dislike the tradition shallow knurling :disguised_face:
The new colors look great. I still prefer my flashlights in (boring) black. So that would make the S2+ available in black, grey, silver (clear), blue, red, green, tan, orange, purple, and cyan. Wow!
I agree with Persechini above, I wish they were available with a rubber boot. I’ve always wanted to match lighted tailcaps to the various S2+ colors. A lighted tailcap with a metal switch does not work as well.
I think they all look good, but my favourite is the cyan. However, I think slightly deeper shade would look even better. The cyan D4 is my all-time favourite flashlight colour.
I’d like the orange, but am with those who think it could “pop” more.
As an aside, has the silver/clear proven to be any more or less durable than the other colors? I seem to recall that while those hosts do have a coating, it wasn’t expected to be on the same level of toughness as the others.
I am in favor of the orange, but I do like the other colors as well.
I really like the orange!
The purple makes for perfect gifts for your wife or gf. The orange looks good too. But Im hoping for a gold or champagne color. Also a full copper would be nice too.q
