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.
Oh, got it. They did indicate below that "the black TS10 clip is the latest and extended version". I should get 2 then.
yes, get one for your Alu TS10 as well.
It is only 1$ and makes the light soooo much better. I ordered one extra just incase I break one or I might put it on another light
I got a free diffusor with my Copper TS10, you dont need to order these extra.
You're right, and extra clip would be a good idea. Thanks zzap!
