This wholesaler sells it in metallic finish or black:

And the same lights with a 3W luxeon (Luxeon III?):

Paul, there's a larger thread started last year on this light with the Futailite info as well. Perhaps you could post these links "there".

I'll lock this thread in the interest of keeping all the info together. Thanks!
