A purple SK68 for my wife?

What do you think of the purple Xeno E03?

Xeno calls it blue, but they lie.

Too pricey?

The Xeno E03 looks nice. But it looks too cute to keep up with an SK68. It says it’s 310 LM though. Not bad. My problem is she’s played with about 6 SK68’s and SK98’s already and likes purple. If that’s SK68 bright it’s a great idea!

If you get an E03 with an XM-L emitter, it'll be brighter than a Sipik SK68 clone. ;)

TYVM Sir. Going to look at them again :slight_smile:

I can’t find a Xeno E03 in purple. On the interweb there are only 2 photos of purple ones. They are both on this forum! Figures the budget guys would be the exclusive owners of the only purple one sold.

You could always get a silver one...then color it yourself (red+blue = purple)

Good luck

Check out the deeeep purple this guy got with a tote in his garage

That guy is very good. But also very strange. Like he’s inhaled a few andonizing fumes over the years. I have 6 SK68’s in silver right now. But I don’t think they are silver. Just plain steel. They were the cheapest I could buy. I suppose taking a purple marker to them would be very sad.

are you sure?

I've looked at and bought 68 clones since I've been a member. Never saw a purple one.

Fenix E05 is a nice purple one. Only 25 lumens though.

I guess you could strip the old anodization first

Then apply the above coloring...doesn't seem too hard, just chemically dangerous and alot of hastle...unless you make a bunch of em to sell

Make sure your second wife likes red, blue or green.

If you anodize it yourself (purple) it’ll have that personal touch and her SK-68 would be unique.

I don’t thing purple SK68 exist… But if there is a big group order they maybe can make it purple with nice options !
I think your only budget option is the purple ultrafire 501b, problem is the uncommon 18650 battery and the heat-sinking is the worst, only fine for 1000mA driver.

Other idea is a AA mini-maglite purple, the stock LED version have crazy 10.45h runtime on high at 77 lumens, same light output as the sipik68 on AA.

If there was a purple SK68, my wife would already have one.

Purple AA zoomie on lightmalls: http://www.lightmalls.com/high-brightness-h60-cree-xp-e-q5-270lm-3-mode-zoom-flashlight-1-x-14500-1-x-aa-battery

Nice…and it’s a bit more “streamlined” and not all hard and sharp and manly, looks more girly lipsticky tubey :smiley:

Or……………

The Tank E09 and the Olight i3s are both available in purple.

You could paint it with duracoat, that stuff if probably tuffer than the original coating, but it would cost 6x more than the light.

I hate to bash you, but he said no i3s in the OP.

I personally would do a custom purple minimag if you have the extra cash.
