I did notice the weight difference compared to alu version, but I don't mind since copper is supposed to be anti-bacterial. Noticed that the orange aux lights are dimmer than the red aux ones, which is good.

Glad to see the switch looks like it's also made of copper. For now I prefer it to be clip-free, and just pocket it.

I understand why people are requesting a Titanium version of the TS10. Not really a fan of Ti though, unless it's for my bicycle.

I like the look of Cu lights and I have owned one, but I am just not careful enough with them to keep them looking the way I want. I know I know patina and all that but after a year my copper light was just kinda meh and dirty looking.

@zzap129 gave me this tip:

"but you can always “reset” and get it back to shiny if you want. (I usually just take a little ketchup and a cloth and wipe it and it will look almost like new)"

Huh I guess that makes sense... Little acid to remove the oxidation.

From what I read, you can let the ketchup sit a bit longer on the copper, to remove more of the oxidation. I hope it works great for you, @Ongar
