Anyone own a KL3-HA that isn't forest green?

Anyone own a KL3-HA that isn\'t forest green?

I recently purchased a hard anodized KL3 for my C3. I've seen various shades of green with the hard anodized coating on many Surefires, but the KL3 is different from any of those shades I've seen. It is a forest green and does not really look hard anodized. Has anyone seen a KL3 that looks like the lighter colored hard anodized coating, or are they all this different, darker, forest green?

Thanks! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

Here's a photograph of my SureFire KL3 bezel:

Mine has a slightly darker and slightly greener shade than the rest of the flashlight (an M2 Centurion in this case), but it is not what I would consider "forest green".
It *is* what I would consider a normal variation of color for the HA-III process.

Mine isn't really forest green, and seems to match the HA of my M2 pretty well. Any chance of a picture of your KL3 E2E?

The KL3 bezel does not fit on an E2e.
But I do have a photograph of it attached to the M2 Centurion it was supplied with:

I'll try to paste a picture of mine when I get off work in the morning. Mine seems a little darker than the above pic, but there are a lot of variations with camera settings, monitor quality, etc. I'm probably just being picky. The contrast between the body of the M2 and the KL3 in the above image seems close to the difference between my C3 and KL3. My KL3 just seems to be a darker shade of green. I do, however, like the KL3's output. I may just have to fork out the money for a black C3 and KL3 and A19 and KT2 with a 350 lumen bulb! The blacks will probably match better.

Thanks for the replies!

Not trying to make this a shameless plug, but since you brought up black KL3s...

My black components (6P/KL3/Z41/Z49) are perfectly matched... it's hard not to match the black finish that SureFire uses though! Mine are for sale here on the board with pics. <font color="red">Red LED</font> in mine, anyone know how rare those are?

Craig, I was asking for a picture of E2E(4ME)s darker KL3. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
