Lumintop Tool LED Keychain Flashlight

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.

Suggestion

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.

Suggestion

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.

Suggestion

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

Suggestion

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.

Suggestion

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.
