I think I totally missed when that Quad came up (good, I'm selling, not buying).
I have Luter's right angle triple Nichia 219B light.

Very cool. That's an awesome light if it's the one I'm thinking of.

I know a patina doesn't really qualify as a "surface treatment" but this Steigarwald "The Sphere" AA light in bronze is pretty unusual so I thought I'd post it. It has a Captain Nemo/Nautilus inspired look to it:

should've posted in the copper thread but i think its kind a unique, semi natural, slightly shiny, rainbow patina. It usually takes 3-4 days to get this kind of surface on copper.

Okay, here's a bit of a group photo and still relevant to the thread. These are the Maglite Spectrums I promised, except I couldn't find the fifth one. Anyway, here are the four with three Maglite AA gold plate (not gold color ano which exists also) over brass thrown in from the mid-80s. For AA lights they're quite heavy which is one way you can tell them from the gold ano besides not being as deep a gold color.

Very nice!

Well, if I can post the Steigerwald bronze you can post your coppers. :)
