The two I have definitely differ in color, regardless of the lighting.
The original one I received during summer is more brown, and captured fairly well in d_t_a’s picture.
The newer one is slightly darker, and the finish has a little more sheen to it, like a car coat that has more metallic flake in it. The picture above exaggerates the effect, but it does pop a bit more. It’s hard for my phone camera to capture, but the shot of the bezels give a better idea of the difference.
It’s not a huge difference, but I prefer the newer one.
The way the bezel is machined is also different. The bevel is larger and deeper, so the rim is slimmer. The Hot symbol is also shifted down a bit, though that could be due to variation (the Sofirn logo is also different, but I’m not sure if it’s intentional, with the “So” looking like a normal font, and the “firn” using a condensed version. The ® is gone altogether.)
We have send new inventory of silver sp32a v2.0 flashlight to amazon warehouse yesterday, it may take around 15 days shipping. When it is arrived, we will let you guys know.
Flashlight kit has enough inventory now, and inventory of Black, Gold, Silver light only is on the way to FBA warehouse. It seems UPS is slowed down. Any bad weather in LA?
“The 2018 wildfire season is the most destructive wildfire season on record in California, with a total of 7,579 fires burning an area of 1,667,855 acres……”
Because some damnfools believe in “conservation” to the point where they do anything’n’everything to prevent small brushfires.
That ends up with a decades-long collection of dead underbrush, sticks, leaves, bushes, etc. (also called “tinder”) which when it does finally catch fire, takes half the state with it.
Worse, property owners there are threatened with arrest and jail if they build their own firebreaks, clear dry ditches (federally classified as “waterways” even if they haven’t seen a drop of water flowing through them in decades) of any burnables, bulldoze away dead wood, and so on, and so on, and so on.
Some people didn’t care, said “Go’head, arrest me”, and did just that, cleared away burnables, built firebreaks, etc., and their homes were among the only ones that were spared.
