Don't know if this has been done before; I didn't see a thread on it so thought I'd give it a go.

Here's my somewhat motley Camo collection. It includes old cheapo incan lights as well as LEDs and limited editions like the Surefire 30th Anniv. set.



Here's the descriptions:

Foreground left: Minimag AA original 80's camo--one of 3 rarest mags
JetBeam AA olive & rust brown camo

Foreground middle: Surefire 30th Anniv. "Urban Camo" set with pen

Foreground right: Sunwayman V11R U3, burgundy, olive, & gray camo
CPF Arclight Lot 1 AAA desert camo

Background, left to right:

1. Kentucky Tactical 3xAAA LED forest camo
2. Ultrafire incan in olive green, light green, & brown camo
3. Ultrafire incan in blue & white camo
4. Browning 3xAAA LED & incandescent configuration in brown camo
5. Kentucky Tactical 18650 LED forest camo

Very cool, i only have one ,same as your v11r and love it. The UI is fantastic with the infinite control ring, and also love the fuel flexibility .

That was quick!

Nice photo with the matching camo knife.

I think that Sunwayman V11R is the nicest camo design ever done.

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Wasn't sure how much action the topic would get but thought I'd float it since I hadn't seen it done before.

Cincinnati area, but lots of travel
Traveling & don't have great photos loaded into smugmug yet, so some decidedly NOT camo lights in photo below (that was sort of the point of 2 of them).
Result of some recent cerakote group runs on CPF

My knife, not my photo - I have it back together now & will try to get some real photos this weekend.
I didn't want the knife "hiding" on me;

Had the Camo SWM
Had the Camo Malkoff MD2 (nice light, but sold it)
Have the Camo SureFire G2 "realtree" - only one I've seen come up on CPF (yeah yeah no photos it didn't happen, i hear you...)

What would be the "ideal" camo for an urban & desert environment? Solid? Marble? Some other design....Solid ''earth'' concrete grey?

I've always wondered this...

For both urban and desert? Those might be sorta opposites.

True.

I think the "earth" on the HDS would do well in any environment. Something along those lines. It's such an understated, common, natural color, it just doesn't stand out much.
