Elzetta Blue Bones Flashlight Provides Legendary Elzetta Performance
Elzetta Blue Bones Flashlight emits 850 brilliant lumens with a mere push of the button on the simple Click Tailcap. The field-replaceable optical lens provides superior beam quality while fully potted electronics ensure unsurpassed durability. Operates on two (2) CR123A batteries (included) or one 18650 rechargeable battery (not included).
NOTE: Bones will no longer have a shiny or smooth surface moving forward. It will have a matte finish from now on.
“Bare Bones” refers to eliminating all manufacturing processes that are not necessary for a fully functional, tough, reliable flashlight. It’s a “No Frills” cost-cutting approach. Media blasting was one of those processes eliminated. This is what creates the matte look and feel of all other Z-Line flashlights. Recently, we decided to add this process into manufacturing the Bones to bring more uniformity to the color and texture on the surface of the flashlight.
Originally produced as a limited Special Edition.
This Blue version of the Bones flashlight was released back in 2017, celebrating 10 years of Elzetta Design. It was a very popular release and sold out quickly! We have since received a steady stream of comments about this version and requests to bring it back. See the original Grey Bones flashlight or the Black Bones flashlight to compare.
The Blue coating on this Bones is Type II (or “regular“) anodizing, NOT Mil-Spec Type III (or “hard”) anodizing, yet it is still quite durable. The difference is in the thickness of the coating and how far the coating penetrates the aluminum surface. Some wear is expected with normal use and is not covered under warranty.
Type II regular anodizing is an aluminum only oxidation process with a thickness of coatings ranging from .0001-.0005 penetration and .0003-.0005 buildup. This is about 10 times thinner than Type III hard coating! Type II can be decoratively dyed nearly any color.
Type III hardcoat anodizing forms a thick oxide coating (.001 penetration into the substrate and .001 build up.) Type III hardcoat is much thicker and more wear-resistant, so if you are looking for the hardest coat possible, see our original Elzetta Bones Flashlight.
