Maratac Copper CR123 flashlight *drool*

mmm me likey alotty… too bad i dont got the $$$$ for that right now.

Very nice :slight_smile:

If only I used CR123 lights. That is GORGEOUS. Can’t wait to see reviews. The modes look great too! Looks like a gem, even at that price for a beauty light.

“preppers” light. LOL! Prepare for the end of the world with a CR123 light. That should be easy to find batteries for in the end time.

man i so bad want to buy this… but id have to put a hold on my thrower… ive wanted a copper maratac for a while but the AA&AAA dont really appeal to me…

It’s the modes, twisty and sequence that kills it for me. Also the price and the fact that it uses cr123s. In fact, the only appealing thing about this light to me is that it made out of copper. I would like a copper light but not this one.

…and what’s with the 3 second mode memory…wtf? If it had standard mode memory, it’d be great

ETA: give it standard memory and a decent clip

Perfect set of modes and sequence. Twisty is best for an EDC pocket light, more reliable than a button and no accidental activation. CR123’s cost a buck or so. I get over a year of use out of one in my Quark Mini 123.

I personally prefer CR123’s for my EDC as well. Its nice having rechargeable batteries and using lights with impunity, but for something I need to rely on and carry every day, nothing beats CR123’s. At $22 for a pack of 20 premium Streamlight CR123’s ($1.10 each) from Botach, I can easily justify using them without worrying about the cost.

I got mine in today. It is quite a chunk ’o metal. Compared to the Quark Mini 123, it feels like it is made of lead.

A quick toss into the Sphere of Many Mysteries came up with:
low: 3 lumens
med: 26 lumens
high: 138 lumens
CCT: 6200K

Hope to do a full run with it later tonight.

lucky bugger :stuck_out_tongue:

make sure you post how you like it. not big on twisties though… but shes a beaut

Got mine a few days ago. The copper looks really cool, but man is it hard to keep clean and shiny. It comes in a nice padded plastic case. Heavy as a mofica but I like it!

Now if only it came with a pocket clip. I would rotate this with my Fenix PD22 S2 as my EDC light.

I have maratac cu aaa, One cu light is enough for me.
I haven’t tried lemon juice but ketchup works ok to remove tarnish.

Does anybody know of a retailer who will ship outside the U.S?

Maybe Survival Shop at EndTimesReport.com will bring it… they stock a lot of countycomm stuff

Thanks for the link :slight_smile:

heads up, this copper CR123 light is available again

Anyone know how easy it is to get to the emitter for changing? Almost bought one tonight, but dont want XPG3

according to this, not easy

the light is CR123 only, and also has PWM… dont buy it, its no good… :wink:
(Im pretty sure youre not going to do what I tell you)

I know you want one… good luck w the driver mod
for our entertainment, here is a modded one that recently changed hands

btw, do as I say, not as I do
I just bought one, but its not for me… its for a friend who has a copper fetish… lol
here is a 10% off code… it will save you the shipping cost
EDC10

I also bought an expensive PicoPull XL transparent. It holds a CR123/16340 perfectly

that copper olight btw is on sale at illumn.com for 30% off w code blacknovember… its a much better light imo than the cr123 twisty… ymmv

the Olight Cu is not as heavy as the Maratac, but its already more than heavy enough…
I now carry an Aluminum 16340 light, after selling the Cu Olight
Im a fanatic about avoiding PWM, so the Maratac CR123 has never been a serious contender for my affections
but I support you if you want to buy one and post pics for me to drool over

even though I agree the XPG3 is not appealing, Im a bit past buying what I “need”, sometimes I just buy stuff I want, even when I know the LED has green tint, low CRI, and cant be changed…

I’ve always wanted one of these and have been waiting for them to become available again. However, I really don’t like the new tail design. Guess they’re trying to save some weight. That triple mod by CRX is absolutely amazing!
