Did not know these are available in 2700k. Tempting!
That book is by Steward Cowley,1978 Was lucky to find a copy in great condition a while back. It was one of my favourite books when I was a kid.
Here are a couple more pics.. https://the-haunted-closet.blogspot.com/2011/09/spacecraft-2000-to-2100-ad-stewart.html?m=1

Lemmy is absolutely easy to use. once you created an account. But a lot of people have problems with that.
"Terran Trade Authority Handbook: Spacecraft 2000 – 2100 AD" - it is full with cool spaceships like this.. I love this book.
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.
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..

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.
you should. copper is fun because it is always changing. the 3000k looks great as well. I got mine for less than 30$. Absolutely worth it. I carried a silver one with 4000k and orange aux daily since the day it was released. TS10 is my fave light for sure.
This TS10 will spend a lot of time in my pocket. It is a user, so it will get beautiful scuffs and dents from all that other stuff in my pocket.
Patina is coming quickly.. Here.. https://lemmy.world/post/679347 when it was just unboxed..
It is heavier. But since it is so small, the extra weight isnt much. I EDCed a stainless AA/14500 for many years. The little extra weight feels just right.
I would say weight is about the same as an alu 18650 light, but nicer to carry because it is so small. Feels great in the hand.
Just got this copper beauty in. Came with free diffusor, bought the better clip extra. EDC Perfection.
I am super happy with this! A modern knife with a traditional design. Fires open and shuts super smooth. Thumb or reverse flicks beautifully. Great slicey razorsharp blade and with classic look that wont look out of place anywhere more than a Opinel when I cut my food, even though the blade is quite big at about 8,5cm.
It is a Petrified Fish PF719 with 12C27 sandvik steel on bearings and smooth G10 handles with a beautiful pattern in it. No logos on the blade that might ruin the look. Liner lock, clipless. Weighs 79 grams.
Also available with wood scales but I wanted better water resistance. Costs under 30 euros.
