Maratac Copper CR123 XP-G Limited edition ( Review )

Super simple quick review……
I recently bought one of these for MRS D. Man! I sure regret that. I love this little light & she says I am not crawlfishing on this light. She loves it & won’t let me have it. But enough about our marital bliss. On to the review…

As you can see… It’s a gorgeous light. Very heavily constructed, but still tiny. Being made of copper it adds a good deal of heft to such a small package.

Specifications:

Length: 2.7” Diameter: .75”
Weight: 94 Grams Without Battery
Comes with extra o-ring
LED Type: Cree XP-G with a life span up to 50,000 hours. ( Focused Beam With Great Spread)
Flashlight body is made of solid copper billet.
The deep aluminum alloy reflector has an orange peel relector for a smooth beam
Its proprietary circuit design features reverse polarity protection and runs off of one CR123 battery that provides 3 levels of operation
Twist on for Low
Twist on again for Medium
Twist on again for High
3 Second Memory and then resets
Using a single CR123 Cell battery we got the following results:

Low mode, 1.8 lumens output for upto 200 hours
Medium mode, 50 lumens output for upto 4.5 Hours
High mode, 260 Lumens output for upto 1.5 Hours







All in all a very neat light… The XP-G emitter sits well centered amid a OP reflector. The copper developes a different pattern of patina after every cleaning. Great edc , powered by a CR123 with a 260 lumen max. Well worth looking into if you like small EDC lights.

If anyone is interested you can find them here…

Great first pic! :)

260lumens for 1.5hours is pretty good.

Cu or Al mcpcb?

English please…

Mine is aged a little more, about 4 months worth of being outside and developing some patina. The first thing I did was to swap the emitter;)
MPCB is aluminum.

Nice review Dale. That is a nice light!

I like the copper shiny…. Thank goodness Mrs D will have it in her purse.

Looks nice. Do you know if it has PWM? I’m thinking it does.

Haha! Excellent explanation!!! LOL

That is why I need to order another one of those or the AAA in copper to keep one of them nice and ‘bling’ shiny;)

+1

Not sure on the PWM. The only way I know is when I do videos.

I actually wasnt sure what the MCPCB was…. Lol

Wow that polished up real nice! I tried using lemon juice on it before I mailed it to you, but it didn’t work for squat haha. Please tell Mrs. Dale I miss her avatar picture.

+1 LOL

She absolutely loves that Maratac! She has warned me several times to keep my hands off.
