Maybe so but EVERY light is black, just boring imo. Besides black will show wear more than lighter colors or bare aluminum.
I know some like the worn, used look but plenty like to keep things looking nice also. I’m part of the latter group lol. I like my lights shiny and not beat up looking. Just my opinion though.
I'd love a green one....actually would really like to see a medium-dark gray as well (something that is a good true darker gray that doesn't lean toward blue). Outside of the enthusiast market, AA lights are probably the most popular of all. For the first batch or two I'd say Sofirn should consider making as many color options as possible/feasible including the odd ones like pink and orange, even a tan/sand color for the EDC crowd who doesn't want black.
Sofirn confirmed this morning they will try out new colors with SP10 Pro. Personally, I like the purple one (top left) and the matte black (bottom right) most. Silver anodizing is an option for sure if bare aluminum is out of the question because the lockout function would not work. I could imagine that Sofirn can adopt the same purple ano from Wurkkos's FC12.
The FC12 purple is really nice. Matte black is fine, glossy black sucks IMO. I’d really like clear ano or a non-blue light-med grey (similar to convoys new S11 / M21C color ) with a black switch and clip!
The light tan / ZL natural color looks great too. Be really nice to see that attempted.
Honestly, since this light works on standard AAs, the pink would make it a great gift for the ladies in my life.
His cars were mobile contained fuel vehicles with forward and rear facing lights. Electrically powered replacing carbide power.
And i would not be surprised if he dabbled in lanterns as well.
