upcoming: Lumintop Tool AA copper

Hello my friends!

Lumintop might produce a run of the Tool AA made of copper
(with choice of the LED also)


please participate below so we can see if there is demand and get a reasonable price ;)

Do they plan to upgrade the driver ?
If not, I don’t see this one to sell very well…

i asked them to..

bumping for my own personal interest in a tool AA copper with nichia

Would be great if they also make a titanium version like Tool-Ti AAA.

Sounds good to me.

I would be interested in one with a Nichia, if they fix the pwm. My black Tool AA is pretty annoying on low and mid. Hopefully they will stick with the l-m-h order mine came with. I was super happy when I got it and found out its l-m-h instead of m-l-h. :slight_smile:

i poke my sources...

In the UK you can be arrested for that!

It all depends on whether it has PWM.

I love many of Lumintop’s offerings but PWM is a dealbreaker.

Poke them with the sharpest stick you have. The AAA Tool is loved by many and the AA model has similar potential.

PWM and too high LOW mode are dealbreakers unfortunately, this light has a good potential I thin and it’s a shame to waste it with such a crappy driver

same here.
deal gone.

I have the Tool AA running on 14500 and i like it. It it quite small in twist configuration which is a plus for EDC. Brightness on Li-Ion is just as good as other such lights. I’m not much interested in using Ni-MH or alkaline but am glad i can use them if need be. PWM is rather fast and less of a problem then on other lights, so i guess i can live with it… although i would not complain if they got read of it.

That said, i’d be interested in a copper, brass or titanium version for collection. I like those metals but they add too much weight for EDC for my taste.

"2018"

that was the answer :D

Any news on this :question:

nope - i think the GT did bind a lot of capacities for projects on LT

Thanks M4D M4X! And I guess the FW3A will take the rest away when it goes full speed!
I’ve been using the Tool AA with some mods (Luxeon V, Crescendo Firmware, Pebbled TIR) and I’ve been thinking about a Lumintop Tool AA Ti (mainly due to that nice tail button) with those characteristics (well, some could be different…) !

With a better/improved driver - and/or even with a special firmware like those produced by some BLF members - that would make that light one of the best AA/14500 on the market!
Just an idea, if you are in touch with LT reps :wink:

Thanks again :+1:

The very visible PWM on the Tool AA was a huge disappointment for me. A better driver is an absolute must.

A better 15mm driver for AA/14500 from BLF would be amazing, even smaller for AAA/10440 flashlights. Imagine a biscotti dual chemistry driver! I hear nice things about some AA flashlight UIs, but there are no standalone drivers readily available for simple modding. The old Tool always start on medium UI is a turn off, and the Ti is too expensive for me to get just for the UI
