Sizzle, go to rare Maglites on CPF and you get the story and more pics
I have been meaning to post this for a while but the first pics I took were not so great. These are a little better. The light is black and silver with blue highlights. The global graphics show the USA at the head and the Western half of Australia at the tailcap end. The inscriptions are "2000" at the head end and "MAG 2000" at the Australia end.
I purchased this on ebay and was thrilled to win it.

First I need to say I have a mild case of color blindness, a slight red green deficiency according to the person that tested me. It does not cause me any problems in normal day to day stuff. Traffic lights are definitely red or green unless they are amber and I can tell the difference.
However I have to say these maglite colors drive me crazy. Just this week the one I am calling jade arrived. It was advertised on ebay as Lt Teal and had a pic of the carton label to prove it. The model was given as M2A33L. The part number as 104-000-292. If you are quick the auction number was 300590976301 and the link is

You can see for yourself.
Anyway to complicate things the one I call Teal was purchased here in New Zealand from a retail store as Jade but they did not have any more to compare with. There was no case or packaging at all. A display model. I got it for half price which would be the equivalent of about $20 USD. I had to laugh when I got home with my prize and it was missing the lens and the spare bulb.
If anyone has an opinion on the correctness of these colors you could post here or if you are shy PM me.

There must be something new to post here...
Way to quiet...
May I please ask a question, as I am kind of new here...
Do you guys collect these lights because you like the color or the shape / design (the colors are AWESOME), or do you often use them too? Do you still use them as flashlights?
Great collections, thanks for all the pics.
There must be something new here -
The colours for the new Minimag Pro (if it ever gets released) is just the standard colour set now:And now that mag's entered the led market, they are not going to produce a single, stable, model long enough to produce it in an array of colors.
Just when you thought it was safe to say your collection is complete.....
Happy Hunting!
