The Astrolux S43S is a beautiful flashlight especially with the copper head. It is rather heavy but with all that copper in the head the runtime and cooling is improved. With a full battery the head gets hot quickly and the brightness steps down already after a few seconds. I like this design better than the previous models even though it could be silver or colorful. What should be improved is the efficiency of the optic that seems to swallow a lot of light. The Nichia 219C leds have a nice rosy tint with 90 CRI and excellent color rendering. The battery tubes are interchangeable with the S41 and the S42. The S43S is small with the 18350 tube but bigger than other 18350 flashlights. There is no coating on the copper head so it will get dark with use. Personally I would have preferred a transparent coating as old copper looks ugly. The cover for the internal charging board fits tightly and won't come of unless you want it.

Tolle Lampe, an die Bedienung muss man sich erst einmal gewöhnen. Durch den Kupferteil ist sie schon schwerer als ihre Geschwister in Rot oder Grün. Die Nichia Leds haben eine schöne Farbtemperatur und die Helligkeit ist mit entsprechendem 18350 Akku auch sehr hoch, allerdings hat sie auf Turbo schnell eine sehr ordentliche Temperatur. Sieht etwas edler aus, als die Nichtkupfermodelle.
