[NLD] TS10 Cu / 3000k and orange aux
Just got this copper beauty in. Came with free diffusor, bought the better clip extra. EDC Perfection.

That looks great! Does it feel noticeably heavier than the alu TS10, when in pocket?
-
I don't even notice the added weight in my pocket, but when I hold it, it's heavy enough to know that I have something in my hand. It's actually pleasant in a way that cannot be described.
Even though I loved the aluminum TS10's enough to get four of them before copper was an option, I've barely touched the my aluminum ones since getting one in copper. It's that nice. I won't say that it's better than sex, but it's good enough that I'd have to think about it for a moment if asked to compare the two.

Haha! Very tempting. It's good that the copper version is offered with 3000K CCT (is that the correct term?). Will consider getting one when my "hobby account" is no longer empty. I have too many hobbies. Sigh.

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.

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.
