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

      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!

            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.

      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.

        Sounds great! My silver color TS10 is just a few days old, and wasn’t aware of the copper one. Seriously thinking of getting one with 3000K haha.

          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.
