Never Retreat. Advance!
The Sentinel III radiates any color you want, like a neon sign announcing
your presence. Two different areas (the headlights and the top) can glow
crimson red, burnt orange, gunmetal grey, or any color that piques your
fancy. With 16.7 million color options, you’ll tinker till you drop.
Want something a little more subtle?
