Go for it Captain. Tis the season for black and orange. Halloween is only a month away. :naughty:

Hey Tim, loving that blue one. I think the Iris is one of the very few lights I would plunk down some change for if there were to be a neutral run. Especially if blue was available. :devil:

 

[Barbarian]

Yeah Steve, the neutral tint on my Ti Iris is tremendous.

That blue Iris was calling my name when I first laid eyes on it last Christmas morning. Davide's pics are so much better than mine.

My Delghi collection. I am surprised there isn't more buzz about these lights. They are very well constructed, bright and priced right.

I agree with you, I was surprised that there wasnt more info on these at the time I started this thread... It is a great light and really one of the very best beam profiles I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I still regret selling mine at times, but my direction in this hobby has taken me away from shelf queens. I couldn't bear to use or carry my Iris because of its beauty... just played with it off and on in the house.... So I sold it off for someone else to enjoy and so I could afford more SF lights. IMHO, it is an atrocity to keep SF lights as shelf queens and I use and abuse every one of them!

Thanks for the pic, they look good with that Mac's light!

I hear you about shelf queens. I do try to use the ones I have, the only two I haven't carried is the orange Iris and a bead blasted Haiku.
Oh and the third light is a Delghi custom head on a McGizmo mclicky pack.

 

[Captain Spaulding]

Oops! My mistake, at a quick glance I thought that was a Mac's. They all look good!

Some new additions to my Delghi collection and some updated photo's. I recently picked up a Ti 18650 and an Nickel plated Aluminum Iris.

 

[Genna]

Okay, here is my little Iris collection :cool:

from left to right:
- nickel plated Aluminum CR123 Iris
- black Aluminium CR123 Iris
- bead blasted/nickel plated Titan CR123 Iris (This was a trial for a new finish that will not be made ​​because of high production costs)

New addition to my Iris collection. Ti bead blasted , with rainbow anodizing

The whole collection:

 

[Captain Spaulding]

Nice! That bead blasted is sexy. Sweet collection ya got there!

Probably one of my last Delghi purchases until he makes something else. Here is one of 5 Damascus Iris's, and even less with an XM-L emitter. Sorry for the crappy pic, when I get some decent light outdoors I will update the pictures.

I emailed him and it doesn't sound like Davide will be making anything for a while :shakehead That Damascus is stunning, IMHO.

Time to bump this thread up :)

Just Love It !

 

[tigerledz]

Looks like he finally stopped making these? Glad I got mine when I did.

Nice to kick this thread up again! I sure do miss mine but my hobby took me away from shelf lights and it's just too beautiful (and smells sooooo good) to actually use .. Love to look at pics of them though. Is that the same orange as mine was? It looks different but my be my phone.
