Did not know these are available in 2700k. Tempting!

That book is by Steward Cowley,1978 Was lucky to find a copy in great condition a while back. It was one of my favourite books when I was a kid.
Here are a couple more pics.. https://the-haunted-closet.blogspot.com/2011/09/spacecraft-2000-to-2100-ad-stewart.html?m=1

Lemmy is absolutely easy to use. once you created an account. But a lot of people have problems with that.
"Terran Trade Authority Handbook: Spacecraft 2000 – 2100 AD" - it is full with cool spaceships like this.. I love this book.
yes, this is confusing. if you choose "TS10" and "black", you get the 2-way black clip I have on my light in the picture. I guess "silver" is the original clip, which is too short.
dont worry, the alu one is above excellent as well! I wish the alu version had a 3000k option as well.
I also replaced the stock clip with this one from wurkkos, can recommend that. carries deeper in the pocket and clips better to a hat..

as I said.. about the weight of an alu 18650 light.. now I took my kitchen scale and checked..
copper TS10 weighs 98gram according to my kitchen scale. my alu FW3A weighs exactly the same! (both with cells)
a Zebra SC64 weighs 88g. Emisar D4 alu with stainless bezel weighs 120g, Alu Convoy T3 with 14500 is 74g - all with cells and clips.
regular TS10 with cell is about 50 gram
but the added weight just feels "nice and dense" in hand, not overly heavy. I dont notice the difference in the pocket. it makes a difference though when I clip it on my hat. my regular TS10 actually replaced my headlamp. I can still do it with the CU version, but I notice the difference.
you should. copper is fun because it is always changing. the 3000k looks great as well. I got mine for less than 30$. Absolutely worth it. I carried a silver one with 4000k and orange aux daily since the day it was released. TS10 is my fave light for sure.
This TS10 will spend a lot of time in my pocket. It is a user, so it will get beautiful scuffs and dents from all that other stuff in my pocket.
Patina is coming quickly.. Here.. https://lemmy.world/post/679347 when it was just unboxed..
Just got this copper beauty in. Came with free diffusor, bought the better clip extra. EDC Perfection.
I am super happy with this! A modern knife with a traditional design. Fires open and shuts super smooth. Thumb or reverse flicks beautifully. Great slicey razorsharp blade and with classic look that wont look out of place anywhere more than a Opinel when I cut my food, even though the blade is quite big at about 8,5cm.
It is a Petrified Fish PF719 with 12C27 sandvik steel on bearings and smooth G10 handles with a beautiful pattern in it. No logos on the blade that might ruin the look. Liner lock, clipless. Weighs 79 grams.
Also available with wood scales but I wanted better water resistance. Costs under 30 euros.
