A purple SK68 for my wife?

Buy her a titanium light.....and hit it with a torch

How about this? http://www.fasttech.com/products/1601/10004131/1358709 but it is only an AAA light with 66 lumens on high. The color is perfect in my opinion.

Lavender?

Lavender, purple, violet…I don’t really know the difference. :bigsmile:

You have obviously never had to buy paint or put up with someone who did

I think she already has a purple i3S; not sure why she would want a SWM in the same class.

I still want a L3 L10-219 in deep, dark, saturated purple. (or brass, or stainless, or titanium… anodizing rarely seems to hold up well on most EDC lights) Actually, I’d really dig stainless with rainbow titanium nitride coating.

Exquisite candy. :smiley:

:stuck_out_tongue:

Wow.... IMO $30 bucks seems overpriced for that.

That’s perfect! :bigsmile:

Yep that seems overpriced. i3s is better in my opinion.

I once had to pick up my wife’s Hyundai Getz after it had a service - the girl at the front desk starts calling out “the lavender getz is ready,lavender getz is ready” as I stand up she says “oh … the purple Getz is ready”. :slight_smile:

I have both (in purple, the i3s is more flashy purple, the swm a bit less glossy and in my opinion nicer purple) and alltough the i3s turns more smoothly, i’m a bit dissapointed in the light it puts out. The swm is supposed to be only 66 lumens, but i can’t see any difference between that and the i3s wich is rated at 80 lumens. The swm is more neutral white too…

But only partially supported by actual data. Here are a couple representations of real survey results:

Results are from here:

and here:

I found it interesting that the most popular color names are mostly the same. Also, the extreme outliers (the most-gendered color names given in the survey) were interesting too (copied from XKCD):

Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among women:

  1. Dusty Teal
  2. Blush Pink
  3. Dusty Lavender
  4. Butter Yellow
  5. Dusky Rose

Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among men:

  1. Penis
  2. Gay
  3. WTF
  4. Dunno
  5. Baige

(to clarify, #5 was actually a very popular misspelling made by the people who took the survey)

:bigsmile:

Here is a good example of Purple:

That Maglite looks more violet to me than purple. I have two ‘purple’ Maglites, one is quite lilac, the other richer but not as deep violet as yours.

That almost doesn’t look real.

I love purple, but I think I’d rather have a copper or brass Maglite:
