Why are you guys thinking that’s an aluminum bezel? It looks like machined stainless steel to me. I also don’t see why titanium would be needed to protect from drops for a heavy copper flashlight. Stainless steel is damn strong, definitely a far superior choice than copper or aluminum for a bezel. Titanium might be lighter and have higher tensile strength, but it is more susceptible to scratching than stainless steel.
I’m actually really glad they chose to use stainless steel for the bezel. The fact that they secretly rolled it out while marketing the light to have a fully copper bezel is wrong, but at least they’re resolving the issue for those who want all copper.
Got mine two E07 lights today, one Ti and one CU.
Very nice lights, but I also would have like to get the Copper bezel on the Copper version.
Now my E07-family is full.
Every time I’ve been tempted to pull the trigger on a fireflies I end up reading about some issue, and the list seems pretty long.
I almost bought a V2 eo7 when I read about the upcoming Cu & Ti versions, so I waited. I almost bought a copper version but nobody had
one in hand yet, so I waited. Now people are getting their lights, and we have “bezelgate”.
Guess I’ll wait some more……
So far I’m a very satisfied non-customer of fireflies lights!!
And their website STILL has no mention of a different metal for the bezel of the copper light!
I waited just like you because of the QC issues. Frankly any company is going to have some of those issues, what I find somewhat refreshing is that they acknowledge the issues. They seem to keep batches small and correct production issues fairly quickly, and honestly I see far better customer service out of them compared to most manufacturers. They should definitely update the website, but sometimes running a small business is hard so I am sympathetic.
Mind weighing a stock, the Ti, and Cu? I ordered a Ti body + Cu head from Vinh and am curious what I’m getting myself into, I was intending it to replace my current E07 as an EDC.
