Guys, I really need some help. And yes, Im a bit frustrated trying to type this as we speak.
I have had my SC52w for about 3 months, and loving every minute. To be honest, it took me a good while to get my hands on one without a green tint. In fact, it is actually for my eyes a perfect neutral white with no yellow/green/purple of ANY kind. I did tons of research, including reading through the sc52 threads here that are like 70 pages long, and like i said FINALLY won the tint lottery. This thing has been my pride and joy, and I don't ever leave the house without it in the pocket.
Now, today it just fell out of my pocket on the road, and just chipped the anodizing all over it. I can't even look at it without getting sick, I hope some of you can relate. I like to take care of my things, and when a mistake happens like that it just really gets me.
I don't have time to do more research on lights, as I'm working all the time now. But I need some help.
I NEED to get a new one. I can't love this one anymore all dinged up. Did the tint lottery thing get any better? Any retailers that happen to have a good batch of them? I really hate to go through the whole send it back a bunch of times thing if possible.
Please, any advice? I see the 62 is out now, but its for 18650. I love the little 14500 i put in my light with the 500lm mode so much guys, any advice or recommendations will really help my mental state.
And, no, I won't be able to just live with this one. I don't have the money for a super expensive custom or anything. The modes and interface of the 52 is perfect for me. I mean sure, its fine for a beat up light when i need one, but its not my perfect EDC baby anymore.......
Any vendors with neutral tints out there, or is it still playing the lottery? Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Hopefully at least some of you can feel my pain on this little light.
