Copper Olight S1

clearly unfinished is the way to go .
the upside of these lights is you could use them to fix the shut off valve under your sink and … use them to fix the shut off valve under your sink.

I’d take it uncoated with silver bezel in a heartbeat!

+2

Olight really need neutral white option! Its mandatory!

I vote for coated and SS bezel.

I’ll take the one on the left just the way it is! :wink: Very industrial looking, or steampunk, which ever, I want it! Does it take a 18350? :~

I’m with you, that uncoated/ss or gunmetal whatever is the best option for this light. I’ve got the original black ano light and it does not take 18350. I wouldn’t expect this to either. 16340 works fine through.

Are the walls thick enough to take a brake cylinder hone to them and still have room for an 18350?

Regardless, I could justify a couple of 16340’ just for this light…

I think you’d be buying those 16340s…

Yup, that thing is tiny… Had to ask though, thanks for the pic…

Welcome. It’s really a great little light and the copper will be awesome I’m sure, but I really hope it’s not blue pvd…

Another reason for my vote on the unfinished copper

Antibacterial if unfinished, plus the patina can look so worn in without any actual wear….

Of course coated will look shiny for a long time, each has their own virtue…

For me it depends on the coating. If it's clear lacquer then forget about it, I'll take the uncoated. I'm a patina fan more than anything so safest bet is uncoated.

I saw on another forum where Marshall at GoingGear said they were PVD coated. I don’t know exactly how that works, but some googling around informed me that normally PVD coating copper requires that it be chrome plated first, then PVD coated using a copper colored dye. That’s kind of cheating, if you ask me, so I wouldn’t be very I interested in that either.

Good thing I’m a big fan of raw copper, patina and all.

Uncoated all the way! One of the main reasons I like copper light is because the natural properties of it… The platina, the smell and the feel.

A coating would be like preserving it in vacuum

Final Design. Polished rose gold and RAW copper. Wish they have changed the soft button.

So it looks like they’re going with a rose gold PVD-coated copper with stainless bezel or raw copper with blue-PVD bezel. Those would not have been my choices, but I do appreciate them offering some special pieces.

Aw, I wish they did raw copper with stainless bezel.

I wish the bezel were Titanium, anodized blue with some purple splashes or dots on it. :stuck_out_tongue:

I just got a Ti S1 today, they say the cell is an CR123 or RCR123, is that the same thing as a 16340? Quite small, for sure. Very neat little light, the Ti version has what appears to be a gold PVD bezel, looks very nice, even the packaging is pretty elitist.
