Hi guys,
This thread is an offering of 5 bead blasted Haiku flashlights:
These may well be for the birds but you never know unless you offer them.
The bead blast surface is primarily cosmetic with some possible gain in "grip". I have treated these to some consideration of normal wear in that all major diameter surfaces are not blasted nor is the front face or rear lip. These are the surfaces most likely to show marks and the blasted surfaces are somewhat protected. I personally prefer the looks of titanium when it has some variation in testure but cosmetics has never been a key consideration in the design of my lights and the added cost is one that only the user can justify, or not. These lights are intended as users!! I should also state up front that depending on how these are received, I may well do more of the BB Haikus and even just offer it as an option in the future. I don't know what I will do but I don't want anyone thinking that there is no chance of more of these being offered in the future ir that there is any "collector's" value here by virtue of only being 5 lights.
The clips on these lights were first tumbled in coral beach sand for two days and then I scored them with some random tracks from a diamond burr wheel.
Aside from looks, these are the same light as the stock Haiku. I am asking an additional $25 for the surface treatment which brings these to $470 plus shipping.
I will process the e-mail orders for these on a first received/ first processed basis and ideally the response to your e-mail order will be a notification of shipment. I don't want to add to the number of communications by sending an acknowledgment prior to generating the postage notification.
These lights are available on first come first serve basis; as determined by e-mail orders I receive which are clear, concise and include the must have information:
In the subject line of the E-mail please state: BB Haiku
Your CPF name (if you have one)
Your real name and mailing address
phone number if international shipment
Any exceptions to standard shipping, which is priority mail.
If the shipment is domestic and you want insurance, please so state. (No insurance offered on international shipments)
For my general info on how I process these offerings, please refer to THIS THREAD. For more information on the Haiku, please review THIS THREAD.
All of these lights sport some tool marks and various cosmetic singularities (in addition to the intended changes). Some may be obvious and some you may need to look closely for.
If you receive one of these lights and decide that it does not meet your expectation then you can either lower your expectations or simply send the light back for a full refund. I won't offer an exchange for probably obvious reasons. (please don't abuse this offer)
Like all of my Ti lights, the Haiku is designed to be sealed from the environment and external pressure but I make no claim or suggestion that it is a dive or underwater light.
BB Haiku - $470 plus shipping*
* shipping is via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation or Global Priority mail. If you wish shipping via an alternative method, or signature confirmation or insurance on domestic shipments only, please specify in your e-mail order.
Once again, thank you kindly for your interest and continued support!!
