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..

yes, it gets that patina over time and dings and scratches just add character, 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)
orange is my fave aux color. all my TS10 have orange aux. I had red but red is dimmer, so I sold it. go for it :)
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.
I will still use reddit but not post any pictures there anymore as it is annoying to do without RIF and I wont be using their reddit app. Very easy here on Lemmy!
What is that sexy black shiny material? Both Zirconium?
I dont have an Opple. But will make a photo later
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.
