This is a 3 layer sandwich with glow powder in the middle layer. I'm just starting testing, but…
Actively charged and viewed with night adapted vision, glow from one light is bright enough to ready by. The parts in the photo were sitting next to an open window (passive charge) and placed in a dark room for the photo. 2+ hours after sunset, they're still visible with mildly night adapted vision, from 20 feet away. In an outdoor setting, I'd like them to make it from sundown to sleeping bag.

My Centurion HA C2 is my fave light. When they first came out I knew I wanted one. The looks/lines (and that clip!) on it is, IMHO perfect, especially the HA version. Recently I got an Alpha G10 led drop in from a work buddy and it blew me away! Its really rekindled my love affair with this light:twothumbs
I hope you know I've gotta get me one of those.Funny you should ask. After 18 months in development, the first ever production GID batch is nearly ready:

Nice! So steam-punky. Brass-tone clip, leather grip ring and you're 100% :devil:Just realized that...Jules Verne editions got lost in the crash:

It's even nicer in real life. I was lucky enough to get one - it is fitted with a Moddoo triple XPG, and I've just ordered some AW IMR18350s for it today. 1100 lm from these vs. 800 from 1x IMR18650
Received my C2 back from the cerakote shop, and I think it looks stellar. A very special limited edition orange-red applied; I hope the color is visible in the pics, it's hard to capture, and I took these with my iPhone, so the resolution isn't awesome. Indoors it's more red, but in sunlight it is a beautiful dark orange. Really nice! Huge thanks to the guy who made this happen. :thumbsup:
Reassembled now with NB SST50, McClicky, polished bezel ring, powered on 17670s. Hope you guys like it.

wow, glad I asked! They look very interesting indeed. Can you disclose if they are going to be available in C2, Z2, and 6P?

The one on the very left looks like a C2. And those look like A19 extenders in the foreground? Can't wait!

Looks like a GITD C2 is in my near future!!
A GITD Triad tail would finish it off perfect for me.

I had just enough time to ponder, try to see if there was anyway I could swing it (including committing to eating ramen for 10days), and decide Im screwed... and then they were sold out. :thumbsdown:

FINALLY got a 3-Flats C2 to go with my 3-Flats C3 (notice the rounded bottom)...Seen here with a KL5 (NOT a KL5A 
...LOL).
I think this is the 2nd body style, with the current C2's being the 4th. I've seen a 3rd gen body style, with the 3-Flats, but it had the patent markings, etc., under the "C2/3 Centurion" markings. Basically it had the same markings as the newer one's, but it's a 3-Flats version. Shoulda grabbed that Cross-Hairs C2 when I had the chance...but...I've NEVER seen a cross hairs C3...anybody got any pics???

Well that blows! I was looking in the store earlier and it was not up yet. But then again, I think I recall EG saying that because there are so many suscribers to the Insider that it takes some time to send out all the emails and they don't release all the units in the store untill they feel its enough time for all the suscribers to receive the new Insider. Well I hope thats right!!! Now I have to check the site every few minutes to see if they become available.

AoW, Great Pics!!:thumbsup:
I too have a 3 flats C3...only had one 3 flats C2 and it was sold when I sold my C2/M2 collection.
I don't think I've seen a C3 with crosshairs logo either....Hopefully someone has one and will post it!...Maybe Size15's?...
My other C2/M2/L5 body was aquired years ago when I paid literally thousands to a lady and in return she would send me box after box full of Surefire parts and prototypes..
It has Surefire on both sides with no indication of C2/M2/L5 or anything else....just the Surefire on both sides.
Looking forward to having a KL5A again. Only this one will get a neutral XM-L, new driver and heatsink.
The L5 was my first Surefire and the light that started my whole flashlight addiction.

GITD hosts! Cool! I just wonder how the durability would suffer... I guess you could use clear Cerakote and mix a fine micron VG-10 in with it... Dunno if you'd get the same abrasion resistant properties of the non-doped Cerakote...
