A purple SK68 for my wife?

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:

Its clearly Eggplant :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t feel too bad about that; this thread seems to have outlived its usefulness, so now it’s devolving into a playground. There just aren’t that many purple lights available, and nearly everything relevant has already been posted.

Now if you’d settle for a nice purple spot in the output ….

That made me lollerskate all around the room.

Obviously it's somewhere between:

velociraptor cloaca

and

maybe a half hour before the first start star showing up in the night sky

Maybe. Could you add a tinge of green? (I want it to feel like I’m in a bad horror)

The good news is I bought her 2 of them. This H60 one http://www.aurabuy.com/new-h60-cree-xp-e-q5-3-mode-270lm-white-zoom-flashlight-torch-purple-1-14500-1-aa.html and this 501b from the same site http://www.aurabuy.com/ultrafire-wf-501b-cree-xm-l-t6-3-mode-385-lumen-white-light-memory-led-flashlight-torch-purple-1-18650.html I found the H60 cheaper on other sites but they’d have a photo of the purple one but the item details would say in comes in like 5 colors with no way to choose. So I ended up doing my first Aura Buy purchase. Found a 5% off & free tracking coupon code on slickdeals that worked.

Now as for guy/girl colors. I’m there. Mauve, Taupe, all these horrible color descriptions. The 7 primary colors are like red, blue, green, white, black, camo and gay. That’s all the colors anyone needs…:slight_smile:

My kids are half Filipino ages 6 and 7. One is dark with black eyes and straight hair, one is light with brown eyes and curly hair. They will tell you “I’m brown like Mommy” or “I’m white like daddy”. I don’t think they’ll ever understand prejudice based on skin color since everyone in our family is a different shade :slight_smile: Here they are: http://lotsoffun.org/gallery/index.php/Kids-2013

By the way, I go around telling people, "I'm a freak of nature like doggy".

(Check the mouseover.) :evil:

Just thought I’d share this, I mad this for my wife for a stocking stuffer for Xmas. I was hoping to find a pink o-ring to replace the red one but haven’t yet. The lanyard is GITD. The L10 is currently in my pocket cause I don’t have a good backup EDC while I wait on Jake to get more 3-mode Nichia’s back in. It had a pink trit in the tail.

This year for Easter the kids are getting L08’s green, blue and pink, all with matching trits.

The red one is actually purple. And it is tiny and good quality. I love mine (blue though)

It’s a very deep subdued purple…next to black you can definitely tell it’s purple…by itself you could swear it’s black but it’s not

More or less a SK68 but thinner overall, head at the optic is the same, but everything else is slim and sleek
