    Default Tritium color proposal for Camo Raw

    As Rob told me via e-mail there is a minimum order of 300 pieces to get yellow tritium locators and a 4 weeks wait.
    Considering that in the next 6 weeks the Camo Raw will come out and IMHO, yellow locators are the best on the camo background, I'd be happy if they were available....even if only 100 Camo Raws were produced, counting 3 locators each, the minimum number would be fulfilled.
    What do you think?

    I have to agree, blue will look out of place. 300 pieces is a lot to ask though, I don't think it will be possible.

    Any vendors willing to sell in much smaller batches, now is your time to come forward and be the miracle

    Heck I would like the yellow for my Raw Al instead of blue.

    Personally I think yellow locators are horrid
    If we the Raw Camo customers would like yellow then fine*Depending on numbers. I am only doing 30 Camo Raw Al's this time so that could cover 90 vials.
    If we would like a change from the Ice blue I could order White locators these may be a nicer alternative for the Camo Raw Al.?

    Which colour appears brightest? Personally I love the ice blue colour. You could do an DISCO:RAW and have five different coloured trits...

    I have some white Trits and they rock in my opinion and given a choice of yellow or white or blue I would go with white.

    I would like white trits of a WEE DA!

    If you cannot provide yellow I'd like green, it's more visible than blue and couples better with the camo finish
    IMHO white is too anonymous

    Each to there own of course.
    Green appear the brightest & the most common. I have pushed the Ice Blue for a while now as the are very nearly as bright as the green but a little more cool & special.
    White also is unusual here & would sit well with the Lummi lights.

    I think green would make the most sense with the camo, but white would be great too. Not too excited about yellow, but any new color would be welcome.
    (Don't get me wrong, the ice blue is probably the best color for trits, I just already have a few raws in that color. ) Green is always a good choice because of it's brightness, but with camo anodizing it's a no-brainer.
    I mean look at the pics.
    White would be my second choice with the camo, and any other color would tie for third.
    That's my thoughts anyway.

    Rob, If you are going with white or green for the camo would it be possible to get those instead of the blue that i ordered with my Raw Al. If not it's not the end of the world. Remember I asked that the trits be sent unitstallled

    What about orange? I've only seen orange trits in pictures. Same goes for yellow though.

    To be honest, yellow, orange or red are not my cup of tea. I like ice blue and white the most, followed by green.

    I think the difference between those tritium colours on camo backgrond is hardly noticable. Actually I am looking at my 12 lummi lights right now, all with tritium locators. The difference between green, ice blue and white (got some white on my McGizmos) does not come through very good when it´s not dark. And if it´s dark it doesn´t matter what background they are mounted to since you´ll just recognize the tritium colour.

    I´d prefer to get the camo raw with what´s available at that time rather than having to wait for a specific coloured tritium vial.

    That's true. Very good point.

    I would also vote for green as being the best match for camo. White would be my second choice. Can you place an order for green? Aren't they the most popular color that could be used for other Raws?

    You know, the problem with tritium color options is that it's already hard enough to decide which light to purchase. Give me the option of choosing which color tritium to get and I'll spend another 2 weeks making up my mind

    Would it be possible to have a Raw (the next camo version, when it'll be released) with 5 tritium vials but each one of a different color?

    To my mind "Green" would fit the best to the camo light.

    I'm pretty sure the Raw AL bodies only have 3 trit slots
    You could do one of each

    not related to the camo raw but the choice of green locators would be nice, to differentiate between torches in the dark
