I'm dying to know if that patina finish is just raw aluminum? Will the HA anodized versions be better for durability?

That´s my concern as well. It looks pretty cool but I´m not sure how it compares to HA.

Both are durable finishes, just in different ways...

HA starts with a strong metal and covers it with a hard dark shell. Together, they stand up well to impacts but when impacts penetrate the shell, it shows bright silver.

Patina starts with a strong metal and is covers it with hours of tumbling, covering each part with a pattern of thousands of marks. The result is tough but not as hard as HA. But is more graceful about absorbing and showing impacts.

Thanks Dan! That helps my understanding of the finish. I like the fact that dings and scratches won't be as obvious as with an anodized finish. I like the durability of titanium, but with heat transfer considerations, aluminum is better in such a light. Can't wait to see a full picture of the lights!

Just out of curiosity, do the threads fit the Moddoolar head(s)?

Not likely. The BOSS uses ACME threads.

 

[mk2rocco]

Ordered!

Well that's a sweet light. Wonder when the N219 will show up.

And I guess I need to read up on the uses for amber vs red.
