Sep 4, 2006 #14 D Diesel_Bomber Flashlight Enthusiast Joined Feb 19, 2006 Messages 1,772 HA3. Chrome, and other highly polished bare metal, is far too gaudy for my tastes. :buddies:

Sep 5, 2006 #20 Cliffnopus Enlightened Joined Jan 13, 2006 Messages 754 Location Foxboro, MA I like chrome for a real cool look, but for a working light - I'll take HA3. The chrome threads are a PITA to deal with and the surface shows every smudge and fingerprint. It does look cool though. Cliff
