Some lovers of Olight flashlights may be fond of Olight’s most tiny flashlights - i3S and the recent i3e series. Finally the last color of i3e keychain flashlights - silver is here. I3e silver is available in US, UK and Japan (any Japanese here? :D) and is selling quite fast (will be in France and Canada quite soon).

A limited version of i3S - i3S-CU (raw copper & polished) is on the way to the US and should be available in a week. Brass alloy body. 3 modes. Maximum output: 180 lumens.

Will notify as soon as i3S-CU has arrived!

Good news!

Is i3s-CU limited edition with limited quantity? Or will you make more?

3

Why do you call the model “CU” and refer to it as copper if it’s actually a Brass alloy.
Brass has very different properties from copper And of course looks different as well.

4

I hoped for a moment that the silver one was really made of silver. In such a small light it is doable (less than $15 worth of silver) and with a decemt alloy it is sturdy enough.

5

Global total 4,000 pcs is what I have been told. Probably won’t make more just as S1 copper. :slight_smile:

6

You are right. Brass and copper is different. Actually I should not have called it i3S copper. It is named i3S-CU and has two versions: polished and matte version. In the product description page there is no “copper” mentioned. “CU” is what Olight has named it for though.

7

Olight should not have named it “CU”. It’s misleading imo. Cu of course is the symbol for copper. Do you have a link to the product description page. I don’t see it on the olight site.

8

I like I3S-Cu polished …I am not in US, perhaps UE persons can bought it some units….

9

The product description of this product will be available once product is available on the market. :slight_smile:

10

I would suggest changing the model name before releasing it. “I3S-Br” would be an easy choice. I3S-Cu is just wrong and misleading imho.

11

The I3S 'bromine'?

12

I am still confused.

I get that industrial Red brass is also an alternative name for copper alloy C23000,

and from wiki copper

But for non metallurgists it is really confusing/misleading to call bronze/brass copper and vicea versa so please Chinese STOP it.

End of rant :slight_smile:

13

PVD version cost more.

14

I wondered if anyone was going to come back with that! :smiley:
It would be a little bit difficult to craft a flashlight out of it and keep it from melting. :weary: Maybe for our canadian members?

Is it copper or brass? If it’s brass, stop calling it copper.
