My copper ft03 sbt90.2 arrived today. What a cool light.
Thanks Freeme for that Deal.

Robert

Am I realy the first one with heavy copper in my Hands?

Robert

Probably. Banggood to usa shipping very random. Sometimes it will get to USA and just sit there for 2-4 weeks.
Banggood used to have a china tracking # that would change when it got to US. now its just the US one so i can’t see if its even shipped yet (by carrier)

Most likely. Mine should arrive in 2 days together with new EC03.

Well, thats not fair at all! I want mine now! :partying_face:

How is the quality? Any gripes?

Still waiting on mine in the UK.

Any news on if it comes coated or not?

New was it is coated

Coated.

I think all is coated, but the battery tube is not. I can say more tomorrow. The battery tube smells like copper and the rest not. The bezel is not copper. When you go to high or turbo, the light comes through the coating itself and it shines a bit. We know it from the ff-light E07 copper. It’s the same Look.

Robert

Yes it appears you are, so step up and send some pictures please?!? :innocent:

I’m dying over here, I want to see it! What are your thoughts on it? I still have probably 2 weeks before mine comes in…

EDIT: sorry, just saw your last post… about tomorrow. But still, please send some pictures then :smiley:

I don’t gave the Fireflies copper your talking about, what do you mean the light shines theough the coating? Also is the bezel SS?

The quality is very good so far. No dents or scratches at all. The last lights in copper or brass arrived in vacuum plastic bags, but this light doesn’t. So I think the coating is the answer.

Robert

Yes, I think the bezel is SS

Robert

Any idea on the best way to remove the coating to let it patina naturally?

Buffing wheel with appropriate compound and fiber. I’d say brown compound and cloth wheel.

New Giggle Light

Is this still available to get in on?

There might be a few left. Note that prices do fluctuate a little during promo period.

I have a couple questions for everyone here who ordered a Brass or Copper FT03 -

1. Is this Limited edition FT03 your first FT03?

2. Are you planning on using this Limited Edition Normally? Like in your “rotation”. Or will this be more of a shelf/box queen?

The reason i ask is because i am torn on what i will do. I already have a ft03 and a ft03s. I am contemplating just unboxing my Copper ft03s when it comes in, admiring it briefly and making sure it works, and then putting it back in the box to keep its pristine-ness. I have about 30 flashlights, and i use them all. obviously some more then others, but i don’t have any boxed up - meaning this would be the only one. It seems silly to me on one hand to box a cool light like this, but on the other hand it is a limited edition… This will also be my first “limited edition” light as well.

Any thoughts out there? What will you do?
