Flashlight Enthusiast
Sold: SS Gatlight **V1** (Pila)
I purchased this from a fellow CPF member. I have not used the light (only tested it). It has remained in its metal presentation case since I purchased it. It also comes with printed instructions as seen in the pictures.
It comes complete with 2 Pila cells coated with glow powder. I spoke via email to Walter about the glow powder and this is his reply.

Regarding your glow painting question, how it was done.
We purchased the most bright glow paint we could find (http://www.glowinc.com/), than applied several layers to each battery (I think about 5). Than used some sandpaper to file down the irregularities.
If you don't like the glow paint it can be removed with a knife by carefully scraping it off. Just make sure to not cut the shrink wrap.
I consider the light to be in excellent condition. There are some light marks on the flat end of the on/off knob, I am not sure they may be there from the manufacturing process.
Also, there are slight marks on some of the bars, and I consider these to be from the manufacturing or assemblt process.
Only 40 of these were made, 17 Stainless Steel that use a 123 cell, 17 Stainless Steel that use this Pila cell, and 6 Titanium that use a 123 cell.
The serial number is V1 / 0017

Thank you for looking. Please feel free to ask any questions. I am not looking for trades at this time.

Please post "I'll take it" in the thread to secure the light.
