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

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:

You mean Chopper? :stuck_out_tongue:

Like eating is proof of the pudding, weighing is proof of the material.
A ratio of 3.28 is a bit too steep, for an aluminum light has parts that are not aluminum.
And those are the same parts that are not made of copper in a copper light.

Anyway, my copper C2+ (1st.edition) weighs 175g without a battery, and 222g with a 30Q.
So 131g could be a thin-walled copper light without battery, or an aluminum light with battery.

Sorry to re-enstate the (remote) possibility this light is actually a copper light.

The knurling looks nice. This light looks less lego’d together than an s2+.
