Lumintop have some of the worst photoshop images that have ever been produced.
Check out the images on FastTech of the under the hood of a car shot. The flashlight is just levitating there, LOL
The shot of the tailcap with the greatly off center spring must be real however. Should have shopped that one too.
They need a competent copy editor on staff.
Anyway, looks like a nice light, now where is the $9.99 code??
“strong magnetic tail cap. Can be sucked on metal surface or tail standing serve as a candle”
I’m not being critical of lumintop here…I see some companies giving away products for reviews to generate interest and that same idea could be applied to helping polish the chinese to english advert lingo.
My Lumintop EDC05 is fully programmable just like the Utorch ut01. All 4 outputs can be programed. Turbo can be run without step down. Battery check is there.
I just placed an order for two of the EDC05. I was looking for a light that used a single 1,5v cell that was significantly better than my SK68 zoomies with XP-G2 S4 and Nichia 319AT. The driver is waaay better on the Lumintop for sure! I would have went with a Zebra but for $70.00 it’s not worth it. Not when you can get two EDC05’s for near the same price.
Does this Lumintop angle measurment with the ruler spacer for the EDC05 seem like intentional deception? I wonder why Lumintop, a fairly reputable company, would publish pics like that. Even still, I have my EDC05 on order to compare with the UT01.
Cheating?… no, I have seen other manufacturers and reviewers try and quantify beam dispersion / spread pattern like this. Its probably one of the more useless ways to try and present this body of information though… IMHO.
Fixed exposure beam pics are much more useful, particularly the ones directly A/B comparing.
When I get my 05, I will try and compare beam pattern versus my UT01. The EDC05 with its XPL-HI factory de-dome emitter could out-throw the UT-01. But then again with different reflectors it could all end up being equal… which really is what I am expecting.
Oh… not sure I can help you there. My incoming 05 is the cold tint / pale white version, and my 14 month old UT01 is neutral tint. But I’ll do what I can ;^)
Just received my two EDC05’s CW versions today. They both came in a high quality box. The box includes the Titanium coated clip, two spare o-rings, a high quality orange lanyard and a free OEM Duracell AA Alkaline battery.
The lens is AR coated.
The end cap is mildly magnetic. It’s good enough to stay in place on a attractable surface but it can be flung off if bumped hard enough.
These two were not free review samples, as I paid $30.00 each for them on Amazon.
The EDC05 comes with a CW or NW Cree XP-L HI emitter.
The quality of this light is top notch.
I’d say Lumintop has a winner here. It’s tiny, powerful and is of exceptional build quality.
Totally worth the $30 bucks imho! It’s my new favorite AA EDC. Goodbye modded SK68!
High Mode with a Alkaline AA Battery __High Mode with a Protected 14500 Battery
It has a button on the driver and a double spring on the endcap. This light can accomodate a protected 14500. I’m using a EVVA 14500 with no issues. It’s basically the same as your KeepPower.
I don’t have any equipment to test but, here’s a comparison. The Left is my Jaxman E2L tripple XP-G2 S4 on high @ 900lm stock 2.1A driver w/ fresh battery. The right is the Lumintop EDC05 XP-L HI on high with a fresh protected Sanyo 14500/800mAh cell. I’d say it’s pretty damn close.
