Re: Surefire Aviator release date?
looking at surefires website it refers to it as yellow/green.

Amber Low is borderline too bright. I would go with Red LED for soothing light.
The vintage E-series SF red filter (F05) was for 1.00" bezels, and the newer version (F05-A) is for 1.125" bezels.
According to the spec sheet posted above, if this version has a 1.06" bezel, I would suppose neither bezel would fit well without modification :ironic:
EDIT - also, depending on the spectrum of that particular amber emitter, a red filter may possibly drastically reduce total output (which you might, or might not, prefer)
That is tough.
Not surprising though, given how thick their HA is. First to wear out wil be the corners and edges.
If someone can confirm that high mode on the yellow-gree variant is really 12hours for 39 lumens and not a typo, then that is the one I'm getting.
Else I'm getting an amber too.

Hope this isn't too OT. I think it is really interesting that Surefire adopted the E1e body for the new l'il Aviators, and that they are sold with either z61 or z68 tailcaps... and Aviator is now E-series compatible. But is no one else lamenting the A2/LX2 dual stage tailcaps, with instant access to both spectrums? I didn't see it as an issue at all with the V1 Vampire, but it seems they made the new Aviator interface quite a bit less accessable with having to (is it pull &) twist the head? I'll be keeping my incan A2, and picking up at least a couple more... but I'll likely only go after a single new Aviator (prolly red, though the amber is lovely, I think red will better suit my purposes).
