upcoming: Lumintop Tool AA copper

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

Crescendo.

Interested. More in ti with upgraded driver.

Works pretty fine on this :wink:

But - as I mentioned in another thread - imagine a Tool AA like the Tool AAA Ti (e-switch and metal button) with Crescendo, Anduril, Narsil FW… OMG :heart_eyes: :blush:

Anduril should be standard in the flashlight industry XD

I wish my attempts to flash it on my D4 and D1 hadn’t failed

I would buy the Tool AA if it came in warm white and if they improve the horrible UI in the Tool AAA. I bought a bunch of Tool AAA and I don’t use it because operation sucks and the low mode is much too bright for nightime use.

I’d be interested to see this happen. An improved driver featuring one of BLF’s latest and finest user interfaces would make this a very nice light in copper. :heart_eyes:

Would be nice, wouldn’t it? :wink:

I guess…BLF teams have been working with Lumintop on the GT and FW3A projects. So I wonder if this could be a next project for a AA/14500 light like the Tool AA (in a improved version) :wink:

High CRI LED, better driver and better UI (BLF made)! Copper, SS, Titanium, Brass, Aliminium, whatever…: it would be incredible :smiley:

And all my other lights would start crying on a shelf :smiley:

Maybe they would be open to a new collaboration on this! Many members here (me included) would “finally” find some things that have been seeked for “years”!

But this is just my opinion :wink:

Stop making me drool please !
You’ve listed what I want in an EDC light (basically, Narsil in an AA flashlight with tail e-switch)

:smiley: :smiling_imp:
Now you feel my pain :smiley:
And I guess we are not the only ones around! This light with the mentioned specs (Anduril / Narsil) would be :heart_eyes:

If Lumintop was willing to make this…the community would probably get a huge smile :wink:

Maybe it’s time to start a poll ?

Lumintop should just hire Toykeeper already

^This

Hum, I have no experiences, making polls! :person_facepalming:
Are you able to do it?

If so, what will it consist of?
I’m interested on this, I want to “make” that light you mentioned on the other thread :heart_eyes:

In a reply to Victor Zhou of Lumintop, and in the sequence of the previous conversation here, I suggested him something like this:
A Lumintop Tool AA (AA/14500) with:

- Copper, Brass or Stainless Steel body;

- Nichia or other high CRI Led;

- Electronic Switch;

  • Ramping firmware, like the one that will be implemented on the FW3A (the TLF / BLF special light that Lumintop is working with currently)

I don’t know if my “voice” will be heard, or if this is a desirable thing, but I did it! Let’s see if we have an answer from the other side :+1:

Sounds nice, although I personally prefer a tailclicky for EDC.
I have the Tool AAA titanium. It looks great, but can easily be activated by accident and drain the cell. For that reason I never used it much. And a 4x click before activation wouldn’t be great for EDC IMHO. But it’s all personal preference.

I do hope a NW copper version will be made with a driver that offers voltage check and LMH sequence, preferably with moonmode.

Hum, I know what you mean! The accidental activation is due to the shape of the tail (flat)? Maybe that coul be improved in new versions.

My suggestion was in that way , but I would be happy to have only 4 or 5 modes (with a nice moonlight and a good “turbo”).
I started using another light (18350/18650) with the guppy3drv firmware and chose 3 modes + double click for turbo, and it is a light I’ve started using with more frequency.
Putting that in a Tool AA form would be nice as well.

However, as Lumintop has been working with BLF on the GT and FW3A, and both have ramping firmwares, I decided to risk it! Not sure if it will raise any fruits (with those specs or others), but maybe they try something different for those searching for and AA/14500 light :wink:

BTW, the tool AAA is a sweet looking light :blush:
And I agree with you, NW tint would be awesome as well!!
