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

This is the actual picture of the torch
It looks more like brass
Or some anodised colour

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

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? )
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?

Well I think about ordering it…
But from picture I am 90% sure it’s gold colored alu
forsh:
some anodised colour
yup
and the weight is correct for aluminium
.
Nooner:
Just ordered it.
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

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.
