I havenât owned 1000âs of lights like some here have so I can only speak to my own experience. I have more than a few smooth finish lights. A few in stainless and a few copper and brass. Have yaâll tried to use these smooth lights on a regular basis? Itâs pure hell I tell ya. They spend more time on the ground than they do in my hands. They are jewelry, not practical at all. The only reason I have them is because nobody I knew wanted them. If they did take one they brought it back right quick.
I suppose if you just want a pretty light and donât plan on using it then, I get it. That would make much more sense. Not putting down a non-knurled light at all. There is one sitting right next to this keyboard. I would never carry the darn thing, though it is really pretty to look at. I have knives that serve no useful purpose other than to look pretty so I can relate. I also donât sharpen them either.
but i would perhaps consider buy this light for this kind of tint, otherwise i think not maybe⌠after i got the d4s with 3000k tint it would be fun go even lower hehe. so consider it simon
Iâm sure many will buy this indeed as jewelry, in fact 195 out of my 200 flashlights get no use, but I see your point: also in my opinion it is a proper idea that in principle a flashlight should be made to use it and not just look pretty. A way to avoid knurling is of course to increase the machined rings and grooves on the light, i.e. like foursevens did with the copper preon p1 (which I do not neccessarily like, too regular ringing, they could have had a bit more fantasy)
