This flashlight was delivered on January 11, 2018. It has become my all around favorite light. I chose the neutral tint option. It is a warm tint. So if it matters this is my current favorite AA/14500 flashlight.
In the AAA/10440 form factor, i’m very partial to the Ultratac K18. Possibly the brightest in it’s category, very well made and nice to look at. A USB charger add-on is also available - which is a must have to charge small cells at a moderate current not always possible on most charger.
Wow the Ultratac K18 in that website has a Nichia option. Even Ultratac’s own website doesn’t even have that. The XP-G2 version runs at 110 lumens on AAA. I wonder which Nichia emitter it uses and which tint. I would buy it if it has 4000k or 4500k tint as I really want a good AAA or AA nichia warm/neutral light.
I just got my Lumintop Tool with the 219… quite nice!
I’m not a fan of AAA lights, so I never got any Tools before, and this is my first, pretty much only because of the 219. Think it’s a 4000K 219BT, maybe 4500K, don’t recall offhand.
I didn’t know the Tool AAA came with nichia, I reflowed a 219C into mine and the result is quite nice (except for the medium > low > high UI), and once I choose my favorite AA light it’s getting another emitter from my dead D4
Hmmm. Was thinking it was just H→M→L instead of L→M→H. It “resets” to M after enough off-time? That’d suck. I’d rather have true memory, or if no memory, start on L.
Guess I didn’t play with it long enough…
Fwiw, that’s one reason I never bothered with OnTheRoad lights, ’cause they all seemed to start on M. They look quite nice otherwise.
Wow thanks for the suggestions Patmurris and Joechina!
Awesome looking lights.
I know my wife would love the Ultratac K18 (maybe even the FW3A, and if not, its mine lol).
Maybe the driver changed? Listings on GB, BG and AE are not the most reliable to check UI, and I’ve read in other thread somewhere that the copper and titanium versions have a different mode order. Maybe AE only had older stock and they have since updated the driver of the aluminium version
Olight is going to release an AA flashlight with TIR optic and rear electronic two stage forward switch, with direct access to low, I it’s real it’s bound to be the best AA flashlight this year. Let’s hope it does more than 200lm with NIMH cells
Yeah, the Lumintop “resets” back to M after a very short while. Ugh, that’s gonna piss me off, as I usually reset lights down to F (or at least L) so I don’t blind myself at night.
