Heavy and good looking for sure. I am a fan of copper too but, I fear that may be too heavy for me. I don’t have but, I got to handle a R50 in copper one time. It was quite the beast. Felt like I was holding a really bright brick. Very nice otherwise.

The R50 copper weighs 512g while the M2R weighs 282g so this one should be much lighter. But still hefty, which I personally like. I like my copper lights as heavy as can be since I don’t EDC them

I wouldn’t carry it either. I would love to start a copper collection. On the other hand, some of the prices on a lot of the copper lights keep them out of the budget league of flashlights. For me at least. They are tempting though. It’s hard for me to pass up on copper. I put things in the cart then can’t bring myself to hit the confirm button.

Olight just extended sale til 12:00 AM midnight PST for us West Coast guys. Man, very tempting because I want 2 of these bad boys.

SKV89 · 2018-11-27T04:26:10.000Z

Man I was back and forth on clicking purchase today and finally decided to get it because copper lights larger than 16340 or AA are so rare to come by. I don’t like CW though but I saw Maukka’s review and it seems like the bezel can be removed to get access to the mcpcb. This is my 5th Olight light I bought this BF/CM. Bought three other copper lights from Illumn.com with the 30% coupon.

Yeah we got that model in, thing is freaking chunky as hell. Odd light to be making in copper but they made the R50 in copper last year so.....

mmalive · 2018-11-27T20:36:06.000Z

Thank goodness I did not get at all. Reason is I would never use it anyway. Just be shelf queens for sure.

But I want the R50 Seeker in copper the most despite it weighs almost twice the M2R. Too bad it’s sold out and the Ebay price is too high. That light has really good performance and very high efficiency from Maukka’s tests. I was also planning to put an E21A quadtrix in it and use it as a tail standing beside lamp that can last for many nights per charge. I also prefer the built-in USB charge over Olight’s magnetic charger that is seen on all of their newer lights.

Budget league or not, they’d do so much better with flashaholics if they included a truly warm (4000K or warmer) emitter option, which apparently they are planning on doing on some of their lights. I know the mainstream market is their focus, but there are plenty of enthusiasts who simply won’t buy Olights since their emitters are way too cool.

Well I won’t argue tint with you. 4000K and below just ain’t my thing man. A few hundred K north or south of 5000k is perfect for me. I don’t like yellow as much as I don’t like blue.

Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their temp and tint preferences. That being said, I haven’t read of any enthusiasts who are all that enthused about their new 7500K emitter choices on their recent releases. 5000K does seem like a nice middle ground.

SKV89 · 2018-11-28T08:30:47.000Z

The Olight H2R Nova have one of the best 4000k tint Ive seen and is arguably comparable or even better than the 219B 9080. My second H2R 4000k was horribly green so I returned it. I wonder why Olight dont continue with the nice 5A or 5D tint in their other models.

komeko · 2018-11-28T09:10:03.000Z

I wanted to buy H2R but when I learned that it is now 5000K, I gave it up. I’ve made H03 on HP-L HI 5A and it’s delicious.

I also made the second play by inserting HP-L HI 3A.

I’m guessing the reason why Olight changed NW to 5000k from the original 4000k was because their second batch of emitters were extremely green and a ton of people were complaining and returning it. I returned my 2nd 4000k NW H2R that I bought several months after my first H2R because the tint was just unbearable. That misled Olight to believe people did not like 4000k, despite so many people were praising the tint on their first batch of 4000k H2R.

I absolutely loved the 4000k tint on my first H2R.

Picked up this one and the two other copper model offerings Olight had for 40% off, free keychain light and free shipping on the black Friday sale.

Not sure if I will even be able to bring myself to open the protective seals on these, my first copper lights, when I get them.

I also bought a few other lights…deals just too good to pass up.

Just not looking forward the the Visa bill, lol.

Which other two copper lights did they have for 40% off?

gottobegeek · 2018-11-28T18:05:26.000Z

The other two were
Olight Limited Edition S1R II Titanium & Copper 1000 Lumens Rechargeable EDC Flashlight with RCR123A Battery
Olight I3T EOS CU 180 Lumens Slim EDC AAA Flashlight, Philips LUXEON TX CW LED Powered by Single AAA Battery

but this was on the Canadian Olight store, I note that the prices & deals were different on the US site.

7500K? Oh NO! Can’t do anything that high, that’s just ridiculous to me, though I’m sure there are a few who like headache inducing light like that. 6000K is about my cutoff, anything higher I give away to people I don’t like. :laughing:

You monster! But hey, like you said, a lot of people like the blueish lights, as proven by all the blinding 8000K HID drop-ins on car headlamps

Now you hit a sore spot. Those damn ridiculous lights people are putting into their cars. Horrible tint and not even aligned properly. They got em shining straight up in the air or straight in my eye. I hate em I hate em I hate em. The wife hates riding with me at night, according to her all I do is complain about the blue lights. I have taken to carrying my Q8 in the cup holder of the car. I won’t elaborate any more than that.

I agree 100%
It should be illegal, it’s dangerous.
Should be something good the government could do and not mess up, but unfortunately they’re also incompetent and / or ignorant about basic headlight rules.

PS: I hope this Olight looks better when it’s oxidized.

Agreed. Yes, the government getting involved is never a good thing. It’s a guarantee something will get messed up and we end up paying for it.

I bet that light will look pretty cool after some patina starts setting in. Just for grins I searched for a R50 in Cu. Wow, gotta have deep pockets for one of those now.
