Lumintop Tool LED Keychain Flashlight

+ Брендовое качество, резьбы не люфтят, просветленная "оптика". Внутренняя конструкция, судя по обзорам, выполнена почти идеально: теплоотвод хороший, нашлепка на плюсовом контакте, проточки в пилюле для удобного вынимания драйвера и т.д.
+ Среднюю часть корпуса фонаря (трубка с резьбой) можно вкручивать в голову и хвост любым концом.
+ Наличие надежной кнопки - редкость для наключников AAA. В то же время можно включать/выключать "голово- и хвосто-верчением".
+ Нет памяти (для наключника плюс - не надо вспоминать, в каком режиме был до включения), всегда включается в среднем режиме - оптимально.
+ Приятный не синюшный свет светодиода (между холодным и нейтральным, с еле заметной желтизной, как у первых Fenix E05, на фото немного зеленит, но в реальности почти не заметно).
+ Коробка для хранения, в комплекте карабин типа краб, 2 уплотнительных кольца o-ring.

- В комплекте нет магнитной хвостовой части, хотя в коробке для хранения под нее есть место (покупать отдельно, если нужна - при этом длина фонаря сократится, включение кручением).
- Малая толщина уплотнительных колец o-ring, но герметизация нормальная - при закручивании ощущение "мясистости", как у Fenix E05.
- Длина фонаря на 10-15 мм больше, чем у других наключников на AAA из-за кнопки.
- Кнопка туговата, но зато фонарь не включится случайно.
- Пружинка в кнопочной части выглядит, как у дешевых китайских нонеймов, возможно, с большим сопротивлением, т.е. на токах порядка 1.5 A (максимальный режим) могут быть потери.
- Если аккумулятор почти разряжен, то при переключении режимов фонарь может внезапно погаснуть - наверно, это следствие хорошего драйвера с токовой стабилизацией: пытается извлечь из аккумулятора больший ток, напряжение падает ниже порога, фонарь отрубается. Некоторые фонари "тлеют" до последнего (хотя для аккумулятора NiMH это нежелательно, но не смертельно, как для лития).
- Не поддерживает литиевый аккумулятор (во всяком случае лучше не проверять - для любых фонарей на AAA с питанием 1.5 В это испытание).

Yury:
This is the great flashlight. Easy to use with good beam and nice hot spot. Also I like tail switch and modes Medium->Low->High. Such modes are very handy in daily use.
Moreover flashlight has a reversible clip. Also you can buy magnet tail additionally and control with head twisting. Have to say about nichia led - it produces neutral light with real colors but has less lumen than cree led. For best performance I would recommend to use NiMh accumulators because with regular alkaline batteries runtime about two times less on High mode. I also have Jetbeam jet-u and I can say that Lumintop has better hot spot than Jetbeam jet-u for me, but not so bright due to nichia led.
Nice package which is ready for gift.

It is bigger than average AAA flashlight. Also button clicks are loud and can produce noise at night when all are sleeping. At this point twisting head lights are better because quite. Have to say about anodizing, it is not strong, be careful if you want to have beautiful flashlight.

Well made AAA light and there's not many small clicky-lights around. The light starts at Medium-low-high with no memory, you either like that or don't. Button started a bit stiff but after some use it got better, now it's perfect.

I bought the Nichia 218BT version, it's on the edge between warm and neutral white. So is it worth losing 30lm without any better run-times just to get softer light with better color-retention? Personally I'd preferred a NW Cree but that choice isn't available so I'd rather have the Nichia than a cold white Cree.

Good clip, actually my first on an AAA-light that has enough spring in it. Pity it's not deep carry.

It's longer than average and no way to put it down when needed. I've bought the flat end-cap separate to solve both problems and found I like it better than the clicky-button.

Easy to use, very high build quality, has brightened glass optics and nice hot spot. Easily upgradable to any 3535 LED. In my case I changed cold white XP-G2 to warm white XP-G2, and have perfect light for my eye. Also replaced lead-free solder with traditional one (more durable) and replaced thermal paste with one used in computers. Now on full brightness case is more hot, and it meams LED have better cooling, and will last longer.
Using fully charged Eneloop pro, current from battery on high mode is around 2A, on medium - 0.2A, on low - 0.03A. So working time will be about 30min, 5 hours and 32 hours respectively.

Tail switch contact became loose inside after a week of usage. Tightened it with hard soviet tweezers, and now everything works well.

Quite powerful for it's small. Very compact. Real current regulation driver: no PWM sign on any mode. Like it's mode order: first (med) is very convienient for most uses.
It's the best tail-clicky UI AAA light I know.

Additional pros:
- reversible clip
- AR lens (very clear)
- GITD ring

LED diode isn't 100% in center. I wish it had Nichia HI CRI version (CREE LED has nice tint though) . There are a little marks visible on the anodization, but nothing to complain about.

This starts in the medium brightness rather than dim as stated in the instructions. This is actually the most useful brightness for me. The dim is useful for finding your way around in an otherwise pitch black setting and the bright is quite impressive.

I love the clicky button on the back. It provides positive feedback and doesn't engage accidentally.

About the only feature I would add to this would be a magnetic cap or other holder to attach it to a work surface. As it is, you can easily hold it in your teeth to illuminate hard to get to spots with your hands.

It takes just one AAA battery, great combination lumens-battery duration, tail cap, sturdy clip, glowing ring, sturdy, not expensive, small and lightweight, CREE XP-G2 led, comes with a keychain and a spare o-ring. To me this flashlight represents the top choice as edc flashlight.
