I wonder how many of those they had to get made, to get LRI to use the green plastic. It really does seem to be green plastic and not a coating. It had always seemed odd to me that colored plastic wasn't available any other way.
More than you can imagine <g> and they have said they won't do it again for that "small" amount at any price approaching reasonable. Enough money can get anything done, but then nobody could afford them.
It had always seemed odd to me that colored plastic wasn't available any other way. I also have few off-brand Photon clones in various colors, so colored plastic isn't rocket science.
It's apparently a lot more involved than you might expect and for lighter colors even more so due to the way the material acts differently with the coloring agent. Some materials lend themselves to molding multiple colors using the same dies better than others.
I hope Doug can get the quantities of this light up enough to use yellow plastic instead of a coating.
Would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath...
Hope this answers your questions, even if not the answer you'd like. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
