Yet two more titanium flashlights from Jetbeam.

Coup de Grace · Jan 15, 2016

I can only find them at batteryjunction. Not much info to them. They're both forward clickies apparently, so that's interesting.

AA/14500 version

and

AAA version

24k plated titanium lights from Jetbeam? That came out of nowhere. At least Jetbeam is releasing some new models which is good.

Personally, I would like to see these titanium lights in just a plain finish (not this "bling" gold plating). Not really sure what market they are trying to tap into.

My thoughts exactly. I would like the AA version but not with that finish.

Steel, titanium, black, gun metal gray, drab brown, drab green, drab drab...drab anything but bling.

Beware of 24K plating. My experience with other 24K plated items is plating is so micro-thin due to cost, thus the plating eventually peels off. Not sure, but it would seem that the heating and cooling of the light would increase the likelihood of this happening.

Kinda neat. I may be a player on the AAA. I always like that Jetbeam goes out there from time to time for that unique look.

Not for me. Maybe if one of them was plain Ti, but the gold plating makes it look cheap somehow...

I'd prefer TiN coating ....

What an odd choice of plating. My wedding band looks like a scratched up mess so unless they're lacquering them I don't see how these lights aren't going to be covered in titanium-colored scratches in no time. They'll probably look amazing on a shelf but as an EDC user it seems like a strange choice. Interested to hear from anyone who gets one.

Hopefully, "Limited Edition" means that there are regular ones will not have coatings.

As others have said above, the plating puts me off completely.

It sounds insane to coat a perfectly nice, durable and classy metal with a coating that is likely to scratch very easily and then to show a different color underneath.

Curious, I might have been interested if they didn't have such a horrendous coating.

I hope so. I'd jump on both in a different coating.

China/Asia. Gold products/finishes sell very well over there.

Gold plating does not look good. Shouldn't it be shiny? The style of the light is really uninspired. This is fugly.

The light was probably beadblasted prior to anodizing.
