Since no one else has chimed in, I thought I'd give my 2 cents. Not sure how much u know about these, but I believe they were a CPF special build. I don't think they were sold anywhere commercially, but I could be mistaken. They come up for sale here every now and then. Last one I recall was going for about $1500 I think. You do place WTB ad in here and u might luck out. Most never really get used much at all and are in pristine condition. Good luck and hope this helps.

The last place I saw them being available was from the FlashLightShop in Germany not too long ago. If I recall correctly, they asked Polarion to produce a "feasible" number of lights to make it a viable run

I agree with djans, anyone that buys a PH50 knows what it's about and will take great care of it. You should not have any problems when buying a used one from a respected member on CPFMP

I've seen them available in Germany, the UK and Finland but they can still be purchased new.

Simply Google search, "purchase polarion hid"

Is it maybe worth just getting the PH 40?

I have the PH50 and the Abyss.

They are both great.



The PH40 is a better thrower due to the reflector, etc, but the Abyss is floodier and has more total lumens.

I don't know anyone who feels their PH40 is not awesome though.

Very slightly better throw from the PH40 than the Abyss S but the Abyss's slightly higher output, dual mode, longer run-time on low, shorter length and true dive rating is hard to ignore. Having owned both, I'd probably steer you to the Abyss but the PH40 is a wonderful light if you go that route.

Well, as another guy who would like a PH50.... can civilians easily buy the CSWL? That even seems like a step up from the PH50 but I havent seen the price tag or availability///

The original PH50 was about $3800 iirc, so I'm guessing the newest rendition is at least that much.

My Gen II nightreaper shipped today... needless to say I am pretty excited. Just downloaded the 194 MB operations manual. At least that wil give me something to read until it arrives.

Hey Ron, do you like your PH50 better than your BarnBurner?
