We did it! Due to the phenomenal response to the original Doug Ritter Special Edition Photon Freedom Micro with the painted bodies we've take the next HUGE step (and HUGE investment) and had the bodies MOLDED IN YELLOW GLASS-FILLED POLYURETHANE! This MkII version has the same twice as bright bulb and an improved protective tube (OK, the standard covert nose, if you have to know) to prevent sidescatter. The new yellow bodies are super looking. We also replaced the black clip with a chrome one as the black coated one didn't wearing as well as I'd like in the pocket.

After a lot of testing with friends and others we decided that the standard covert nose worked just fine, not many could tell the difference, and by using it instead of the special cut-off nose we'd be able to keep the cost the same even with the cost of the yellow bodies.

While I didn't mind the painted bodies of the first version, it worked just fine, the fact is that the MkII version are much better looking. The yellow body is a bit translucent and the nose glows slightly when the light is on. Very cool looking.

We didn't expect these until after the holidays, but the first box has arrived at www.Aeromedix.com just in time, in case you're looking for that perfect last minute stocking stuffer.
