They'll probably go fast. The copper one last year was gone in a couple of weeks.
If you want this years limited issue ya better hurry.

I got in on the Camo Alpha! [emoji106]
It's already on the way to me.

Hmmm...kind of disappointing. I'm sure it's well done but it's hard enough to keep track of black lights while camping and hiking, a camo one is just begging to be left in the forest forever! I really regret missing out on the yellow one.

Well, in the dark there is no difference whether it is black or camo as our vision reduces to monochrome

Not trying to open up a can of worms but, can someone explain why elzetta is no longer in bed with malkoff. I tried looking back through thread but can't seem to find it thanks.
Elzetta used Gene's modules in the beginning because they were the only ones readily available to suit the durability Elzetta was striving for. Both were upstarts back then.
They started building their own stuff at some point.
Only the two of them could say whether the departure was on good terms or not. But I'd bet a pepsi it was. Gene helped Elzetta go, Elzetta helped add capital to Gene's enterprise. Win-win.

My understanding that Elzetta bought the rights to producing the M60 modules.
Nonetheless, both Elzetta and Malkoff lights are some of the best and strongest available!

Oh I know they are both great lights. I have several malkoff's. Wanted to try out an elzetta. can you still run m60's in elzetta lights or did they change the design of the light?

You can, but you need an older Elzetta ZFL style. The new Charlie and Bravo with the AVS heads will not allow the use of the M60 module. The M60 is fully enclosed and sealed and slightly different than the M61s and M91s.

According to the Elzetta website, they still have some of the ZFL style bezels in stock, even though they don't sell the M60 anymore. You can run the current M61 / M91 Malkoff modules in the ZFL bezel if you also use the lens/gasket kit, which is available on the Malkoff website for a couple of bucks.
There are some dealers who may still have complete ZFL-M60 flashlights in stock. For example, battery station shows them available, although I've heard that their website may not be up to date. Amazon also has a few.

Ouch. Ok thanks

Yeah, but half the time it's day time! Dark colors are generally harder to see and find in your pack and when you set them down. I'll always love basic black but camo, that's just askin' for trouble!

New Camo Alpha. Very nice!
Good score Grijon!!
Looks great.

( I have to keep editing this post to phrase the question properly) Might be a dumb question but does Elzetta make both limited edition and special edition lights? I have 3 "editions" The blue bones and the yellow Alpha, both have indications they are different from regular lights "Decade edition" and "Limited edition"; the Camo Alpha does not have any such engraving on it. Is this how Elzetta handles their limited run lights? Some with engravings indicating an "edition" light and some with nothing.
And got mine today. What a fast turnaround.

One of my favorite lights is an Elzetta host with a Malkoff M61HCRI2 and a high low tailcap. After getting used to high low function at the head end of Malkoffs, the tail adjustment take some getting used to, but works great.
At fordcappy:
Every year Elzetta does one limited edition. This years was the camo Alpha. One year it was a yellow Bravo, another year was a copper Alpha.
They also did a 10 year edition of the Bones in "denim blue".
Honestly I don't know the story behind your yellow Alpha there. Perhaps that was their 2017 limited edition?

Yellow Alpha was a while back. I think 2015? Flashlightguide.com has a post on it.
