"Pure Copper" Aliexpress S2+ generic. (Edit it's BRASS!)

I agree

Olight also made a brass light and called it “Copper”
they also make some very nice actual copper lights

olight-i3e-eos-copper,
is actual copper

Olight i3s Cu
is actually not copper
it is brass, with titanium gold colored PVD coating over brass

This is the actual picture of the torch

It looks more like brass

Or some anodised colour

Nice find Forsh.
Where is that photo from? I’m not seeing it from the seller.
Are there others?

It looks like gold anodising to me, but you could not be sure…… the pics on ali seem to be renderings

Ok, here’s the same light i think - AMAZON
Being sold as the same ‘pure copper’ light
BUT in description - ★Strong light long-range flashlight, high brightness, long range, large capacity, long battery life, aluminum alloy body, field, cycling, lighting, home, maintenance, etc., all meet your needs

I asked the store to send me pictures of the actual flashlight

They was nice and said no problem , sent it to my email

I m not sure it’s even brass though

I think it’s probably titanium, coated in copper then brass - finished off with a sleeve of aluminium in a luxurious gold anodised finish. :stuck_out_tongue:

G0OSE thanks for finding that.
That Amazon listing has a lot of technobabble in it.
But yes it does list “aluminum alloy body” as you point out. (Should say aluminium for the UK, no? :smiley: )

It also lists the weight as 131 grams. That would be too heavy for an aluminum host alone. My brief search on BLF tells me an aluminum S2+ is 81 grams. Unless they are including the battery in which case that would be right on for an aluminum host with an 18650.

They are including a battery and charger !

the amazon link also says the light is a Zoomie, with large astigmatism…. and other nonsense:

Mechanical telescopic focusing, astigmatism, eccentric adjustment, eagle-eye spherical resin concentrating mirror, high transmittance, large astigmatism

Material: other

Color classification: pure copper flashlight

Has anyone noticed on the AE Shenzhen A plus Lighting Ltd Store the estimated delivery date of this brass color S2+ clone?

May 9th,2020

The Amazon UK seller lists it as In Stock

Brass pill or driver shelf?

That’s what I’m afraid of!

Basically it’s anyone’s guess - who’s ordering to find out lol!

If anyone wants to order it I can help him with a $10 coupon

Ahh what the heck. Just ordered it.
I’ll definitely post my findings once it arrives.
Stay tuned until May 9th I guess.

Well I think about ordering it…

But from picture I am 90% sure it’s gold colored alu

Or just Chinese copper.

yup
and the weight is correct for aluminium

.

congrats, I hope you enjoy it

here is another (copper) light from your link
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32718131525.html

the number of contradicting statements in the description, boggle the mind
“Purple Bronze, 300 lumen, reverse clicky, tailcap twisty”

looks a bit like a cross between an Eiger and a Sapphire

how can I resist? LOL
(easy, just step away from the keyboard)

is really copper? it looks very yellow ? its probably just painted yellow and not true copper with the extra weigth…

they just trick people inte believing its pure copper… its 99% not…

Correct me please if I am barking up the wrong tree:

The ratio of mass densities of copper/aluminum = ( 8.96gm/cm^3) / (2.73gm/cm^3) = 3.28

If an aluminum S2+ is purported to be 81gm, then a similar body in pure copper should
weigh approximately: 81gm x 3.28 = 265gm?

If 131gm is purported to be the weight of this “pure” copper light, it
Most probably taint copper.

Bamboozled. Mashugganahs. :slight_smile:
