Congrats on your Copper TS10 
true,
I use battery check often
to tell if Im in Simple or Advanced…
2 Thanks
Thank you. It’s a nice little light. Like FW3A’s little sibling. Anduril is (n)icing on the cake. So many options.
Good use of battery check now that I know how it reacts. Thanks for confirming it is normal.

Had mine. (4000K/orange) for a few weeks now and it’s definitely my favourite of the 3 TS10s I have. I have a black ano with the orange aux, so probably should have got red aux, but the orange goes well with the copper.
Only thing I’d really have liked to have would be a properly polished finish. The copper is brushed and would look better shiny. I’ll be carefully running it over a buffer wheel and some compound.

Heads Up!
Copper TS10 V2 is back in stock with 3000K LEDs
Hmm, it was out of stock?
Got mine somewhere around 11.11, ended up being moderately disappointed - it is ok, but also a straight downgrade in multiple ways compared to brass v1 i have…
Dumb question. With the higher heat conductivity of copper compared to aluminum isn’t the light going to get hot quicker when operated at high output levels?
Specific heat capacity is what matters here.
Aluminum has 0.9 J⋅g^-1⋅K^-1 and 2.42 J⋅cm^−3⋅K^−1.
Copper - 0.39 J⋅g^-1⋅K^-1 and 3.45 J⋅cm^−3⋅K^−1.
So basically per unit of volume copper requires more energy (~1.43x more) to raise its temperature by 1 C.
The heat from Turbo overwhelms the heat conductivity of all the metals, and triggers thermal stepdown:
Sustainable output for a TS10 is less than 250 lumens, regardless what metal it is made of.

That’s a bummer to learn about the auxiliary being strobe only. But I guess that helps to trim some lights off my list.
It’s a pass from me.
One neat trick how to stay righ here for the whole runtime is using lifepo4 cell:
I’ve been doing this with my TS10 for a while now and it works great - less heat, higher output…
Caveat? Less max output, lower turbo. Can be seen as advantage too, because turbo becomes more reasonable in terms of heat and actually usable. And unfortunately runtime. The cells i have are 600-700mAh…

I dont understand, what do you mean?
thanks for the chart, very informative
could you please generate a chart using the stock battery, starting at 200 lumens output (no initial higher output).
Im trying to get a visual on how a 200 lumen ceiling would perform.
From what I understand the options are auxiliary on and cycling, off, and low output where only red and green cycle. No color selection, constant, or ability to cycle them on/off as desired. Unless I misunderstood something
yes, think there is some confusion
Aux can have any one of 4 states
and any one of 10 color combinations…
see the red box in this flowchart:
I hope you get an Anduril light soon, so you can learn the variables with first hand experience…
You have
[ the for states or AUX LED Pattern and als color option 8 colors + disco (a quick color change) + rainbow ( slow color change) or the color shows voltage of the battery] You can set this for normal OFF and for LOCK-OUT separately
Slider,
Thanks again for one of your highlighted “cheat sheets”
Only have the Titanium in the RGB series and just changed resting color to the Red which I love but really wish they had a Medium mode of brightness, the High is like overblown and the low is too low in the daytime to appreciate.
Anyway keep them coming.
Thanks,
Keith

Congratulations Keith
Thank you for taking the time to post encouraging words, it brightens my day
I also like to use Red on Low. Even though it is not visible during the day, it works great on a dark nightstand.
fwiw, we can also change the Battery Check (3C from Off) blink colors, by doing 3C while blinking. I like Red for that too
Happy Holy Daze 
Dances w Aux
Nice job, looks great!
