Same here. Would like to see PIC’s as proof also… a copper core pressed into an Aluminum finned head might have been better, it works really quite well in my 19 amp 4200lm 3v 50.2 IRA.
But I sure like that Copper head!!!
Did a copper pill X6 3v 50.2 also…it’s quite Heavy…
Depending on price, interested in clear aluminum + copper head, though I’d like to know the price breakdowns for full copper or TI body. 5000k XP-L HI with red secondaries if at all possible.
Interested in Cu head + Al body clear ano but depending on weight.
The Astrolux S43S is already on the heavy side for me so i’m not optimistic for the E07 copper head with its 10 mm shelf.
fantastic news. I left my order with banggood active for a long time without too much hope that it would ship. It even had the apply for refund option active. Today I checked and it did indeed ship.
The Titanium almost acts as a thermal blanket or shield to protect the cell from intense heat of the 4 emitters, the copper pill will absorb and radiate heat allowing the emitters to run efficiently but the Ti body/battery tube won’t readily absorb this heat, effectively keeping the cell as cool as possible while the light delivers optimum output.
Whereas, a full copper build will pull heat all the way to the tail, surrounding the cell in heat and possibly causing damage or a dangerous situation to the Li-ion cell inside. Yes, it will pull more heat from the emitters, but it pulls it to the dangerous cell within… not a good compromise in my book. And I am probably the biggest advocate for the use of copper on this forum…
As an aside, the Ti battery tube will remain much more comfortable in hand than a full copper build, which would get too hot too hold in short order.
