Hello Everyone,
May I introduce my new light project "Saruth M1T". This is my first attempt of creating a light from the ground up. It has been fited with UW0K DB917 McR27 reflector and Kroll switch tail cap. I have several prototypes made and coated with HAIII NA, black, nickel plated just to see what it looks like. I'm not satisfied. I want some extrodinary finishing for this light. Some exotic colors that has never been done before.
One day while visiting machinery trade show, I stumble across titanium coating and got hooked on various colors on display. It's mainly for coating drill bits or cutting tools. I like the colors! After lenghty conversation with company's rep, he told me that aluminum can be coated but will not stick as good as steel or stainless. My heart is broken. If aluminum can't be coated, why not stainless steel. Two weeks later I got two stainless steel prototypes for price quote. It is very expensive, but I go ahead with it anyway. Two colos to be coated with PVD process Titanium Nitride(TiN) and Titanium Aluminum Nitride(TiAlN). Pictures speak for itself. First picture from left to right HAIII, TiAlN purple-grey, and TiN coating with yellow gold color.
Cheers,
