Just got this copper beauty in. Came with free diffusor, bought the better clip extra. EDC Perfection.

That looks great! Does it feel noticeably heavier than the alu TS10, when in pocket?
as I said.. about the weight of an alu 18650 light.. now I took my kitchen scale and checked..
copper TS10 weighs 98gram according to my kitchen scale. my alu FW3A weighs exactly the same! (both with cells)
a Zebra SC64 weighs 88g. Emisar D4 alu with stainless bezel weighs 120g, Alu Convoy T3 with 14500 is 74g - all with cells and clips.
regular TS10 with cell is about 50 gram
but the added weight just feels "nice and dense" in hand, not overly heavy. I dont notice the difference in the pocket. it makes a difference though when I clip it on my hat. my regular TS10 actually replaced my headlamp. I can still do it with the CU version, but I notice the difference.
Thanks so much for the weight comparisons, zzap. I'm now kicking myself for not noticing the copper TS10 when I ordered my alu one. (It's very nice though, and I love it.)
Great tip on clipping it on a hat, thanks. Will try to emulate that.
Thanks so much, zzap!
dont worry, the alu one is above excellent as well! I wish the alu version had a 3000k option as well.
I also replaced the stock clip with this one from wurkkos, can recommend that. carries deeper in the pocket and clips better to a hat..

Agreed, 3000k option would be nice.
Browsed the link to the clip. What should I choose to get the black long clip please? I think choosing "black" then "suitable for TS10" would probably be the black short clip.
yes, this is confusing. if you choose "TS10" and "black", you get the 2-way black clip I have on my light in the picture. I guess "silver" is the original clip, which is too short.
