HA III Natural Lights

For reasons that I'm not sure I can explain, I really like lights with HA III natural anodizing. So far my collection of HA III lights includes the following:

• Surefire C2 (with McClicky and way too many dropins)
• Surefire E2E (and several LED heads)
• Surefire E1E
• Zebralight SC600 II (wow)
• Various Zebralight 1AA lights (two headlamps, one "regular" torch)
• ARC LS, including various bodies (twistie, clickie, 2AA)
• ARC 4+
• Several ARC AAAs
• A number of old Longbow legos
• A solarforce 6P clone
• A Vital Gear body or two
• A Doug Spec Firefly (remember those?)
• A JetBeam RRT01 (not sure if this is actually HA III)

My question is: what quality HA III lights should I add to the collection? Not looking to have everything; just a few favorites.

Thanks,

Andrew

Check out Elzetta's Stealth Grey Bravo (limited edition).

Maybe a Sunwayman

All my lights are HAIII too. I would get one of Henry's new rotary 250's if I were you.

Oveready. Keep an eye out for the lightweight 6P in the near future. They are stocking some natural bodies and a smoothie bezel in natural. They have gray Cryos Illumination bezels. CryosIllumination.com restocked their slim standoff tailcap in gray, recently. I have two natural Oveready 50mm bodies and interfaces with black delrin tailcaps sporting zero res shorty switches (so I can use 18650 cells) and Cryos Illumination cooling bezels. Also got a natural adaptor for my old SureFire U2, allowing me to use P60 dropins. Really good quality.

Actually, I have, and love that one. Not HA III natural though, so I didn't put it on the list. Easily my favorite light!

Oveready 6P HAIII Natural (steampunkish - first batch more so, second batch less so)

Based on your list, I'd suppose you might like a vintage McGizmo Aleph of some sort, in natural HA.

BTW, just to split hairs, (although the terminology is often used loosely) HA implies Type III anodizing. Type II anodizing is not HA ...

+1 on OVEREADY. Nice, nice stuff! :thumbsup:

From Oveready's previous HAIII Natural run.

Any HA Surefire would be a great addition to your collection. Fenix's special edition TK 22 looks good too, if they're still available.

Those HA 6Ps look great. Looking forward to the next run.

So, if we're going to show pictures:

I was going to suggest a Zebralight since it appeared you didn't have one at first glance. Then, I looked a little closer at your list....

fewer and fewer lights have that wonderful HA Natural coating anymore. I really miss it. the old ARC and SF anno just beautiful. Now its all boring black for most stuff.

In a similar vein to HA III, I carry a SureFire SureFire.

LOL...

Thanks Kestrel.
