Oh man, I sure hope this counts as a mod.
It would mean our first real mod.
thanks to Meteor M43 color changing - 14 pics
On the video there you can see first it turns red.
And well we have ths ugly ultrafire with a red bezel.
Who would put a red bezel there? I would have never bought it, a AE seller thought he could send it instead of the one I ordered that he has run out of.
So I removed everything and put it on the gasflame
When the head was red I took it out and continued with the rest.
And when it looked like it would fit nicely with the red head, turned off the fire.
It now looks much better imho and it was a very nice experiment.
The head actually looks little more red then on the pic.
The tube is really, really nice looking shining bronze, REALLY beautifull! (Hope you picked up on the fact that I really like this color ;))
Does anybody now what causes this color change?
Time, well but does that
A- mean it gets hotter
B- at a certain temp the change starts and progresses till temp is lowered
A meaning with controlled temp the nice bronze color could be achieved without the risk of pushing it beyond towards the beige and even grey (I would love to have the alu X5/X6 in this shiny bronze color, but not in grey.)
