Neoca BL (or Black Lipstick) is the name of the second flashlight in the family, it started as design that catched the attention of many CPF members from day one, and it quickly became a reality. At this moment (3/7/2005) is in the building stage, with all parts ready to be assembled. This first batch will be engraved with this legend: NEOCA BL - Primera Edición (meaning: First Batch) Neoca BL is the first custom flashlight to be offered in a multitude of colors and finishes. The range goes from around 10 colors and different Beadblasted levels and also a Brass version. Neoca BL Early Renders
