Originally produced as a limited Special Edition, the Elzetta Blue Bones flashlight was released back in 2017 to celebrate 10 years of Elzetta Design. It was very popular and sold out quickly! Since we’ve received so many comments and requests to bring it back, we decided to release a blue model. This is not a limited or special edition.

The Elzetta Bones in Blue

Elzetta Bones Flashlight emits 850 brilliant lumens with a mere push of the button on the simple Click Tailcap.  The field-replaceable optical lens provides a soft edge beam quality while fully potted electronics ensure unsurpassed durability.  Operates on two (2) CR123A batteries (included) or one 18650 rechargeable battery (not included).

This Blue version of the Bones flashlight is coated with Type II regular anodizing, which is not mil-spec Type III hardcoat, yet still very durable.

Type II regular anodizing is an aluminum 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.

The Bones flashlight was originally designed and introduced to be a “Bare Bones” flashlight with no special features except for Elzetta’s legendary design quality and simplistic operation. This simplistic approach to the Bones was to provide a high quality tactical flashlight and keep it in an affordable range for most budgets.

While not modular, the Bones can accept regular AVS bezels and a few of the other tailcaps (Rotary, Click, 5-inch and 12-inch Tapeswitches), but the High-Low and the High-Strobe will NOT work with the Bones.

How Does the Type II Blue Anodizing Wear with Use?

The images below show how the Type II anodizing wears with regular use. This Blue Bones was purchased in 2017 and has been used pretty hard on a daily basis.
