I got one of these in a prior buy, I absolutely LOVE it. Plenty bright, battery is still going strong, and the quick connect works great. I have the black one and I love how the finish has worn, if you like a pristine finish I would suggest one of the other options.

IcehawkI'm worried about the black coating coming off after a while. Does that happen?

bsastorYes, if it’s banging around in your pocket all of the time with keys and other metal objects the finish will wear on the black one (I’ve seen photos showing that). But, like patina, some like the worn effect.

glennacThe brass one i had just turned dull but not patina. Tried some methods suggested by other members with limited effect. But the worn out look is another kind of look that i like. But i'm still waiting for the copper to return.
Thanks guys!

bsastorI'm not sure how long brass will take to patina, for example, copper out in the weather takes a full 10 years to go to that green color, though you can rush it along. Mine in copper that I've had a year and a half is darker, and a bit of color change. It's progressing, and I bought it to have something that will look good with dings from my keys and such, and I'm still happy with the look.
