Playing around with heat anodizing titanium. Definitely an art to it. Flame size, angle, location, etc all make for different results. One thing I know for sure, make sure to brake clean the part first. The last pic shows my first attempt that was not cleaned first. Came out super dull and oily spots show through in the results.
I think I also ordered a floody optic with it too as an additional option. I also got the 18350 tube as well as the pocket clip. I think this will be my new edc for a bit. Does anyone know of a good place to get 18350 rechargeable batteries for this light? Preferably with a charging port built into the battery.
I’m curious to what you receive, please let me know . The e21a is shipped with the 10623 ( floody ) by default ( i think ) . We will see if adding an extra floody optic gives you an 10622 ( regular ) or double floody .
XP-G2 is an older design, small die + non-flip chip = throwy LED. It’s basically only used in AAA lights these days and I can’t imagine why anyone would choose it over the SST-20, XP-L HI, or Osram.
I dont know which one theyre sending me. I suppose I will test them both to see if they are the same or two different ones. Are there images visually showing the difference other than beam shots? Or is it too hard to tell by looking at the optics? Is one more frosty than the other?
