[DM51]

Triplets...

...and close on DM51's toes, my HA-BK puppies. Top to bottom - a very special U2, K2-M, A2:




Can't forget the bezel shots:

Nice Surefires greenLED.

Those A2s look too good.

[DM51]

GreenLED, that is a beautiful trio you have.

[greenLED]

Thanks, guys.

I'm trying to avoid getting attached to the K2-M (not being very successful...), as it should be headed for BST shortly.

Kaibigan,

Here is my small collection:

Where did you get that SureFire poster??

[Mrgooch]

Can you explain how one gets a black model?

Can you explain how one gets a black model?

Of which flashlight?

[Mrgooch]

Any model!

[Size15's]

One must be careful (check here first) but some SureFire Dealers show that they have Black HA versions of certain flashlights.

Normally the model number is suffixed with a dash and the colour/finish code.

A2-HA (-HA = Hard Anodised, natural aka grey)

"-BK" (Black) can be type II anodised standard Black, but in some cases the Black anodising is type III also known as HA.

So in addition to the SureFire Dealer showing a photo of the black SureFire, it will also be labelled "E2e-BK".

One must be careful because some optional black finishes are type II rather than type III hard anodised so if in doubt check here first.

Does this help?

Are models currently being made in black?

[EricMack]

Sorry, that pesky purple dude just thinks he's black...

[Size15's]

Are models currently being made in black?

The E2e and E1e are I believe. Or have recently been.

The KL4 is being made in Black HA because it is part of the ScoutLight.

I'm not aware of any other models that wouldn't be Black HA as standard, being currently made in Black HA.

EricMack and Al, please post your A2-BK info here:

I need more data points!

My next ideal black SF would be an E2D + black E2C adapter and head from a 6P. This setup will allow the use of one of the new P60 drop-ins.
The only problem is that the black E2C adapter needs more interest shown on this thread.

So if you're interested you know what to do.

Mentioned in the thread below,here's a pic of a black SF L1 flanked by a pair of multi LED Milky masterpieces.

How rare are these....?

I'm a sucker for HA-BK.

You guys should post those pics (or have this merged) in this thread (the official SF HA-BK collectors thread):

Where does the line start to get a Black L1?

eBay. I think the BIN was $70, absolutely as new.

WOW!

[DM51]

Where does the line start to get a Black L1?

They are sometimes attracted to other HA-BK lights, especially Black A2s...

[seattlite]

Where did you get that SureFire poster??

LOL...that was the 2005 or 2006 SF catalog.
