Lumintop Copper Tool

Lumintop Tool Ti

Thank You, I do have 1 of each but they dont have enough room for engraving. I took Franz recomendation and looked at Thrunite, came up with Thrunite Ti5 in Titanium seems to meet all my requirments that and Dqg slim but that is out of stock.

Theres the Xeno ES1 in ti

Thats never happened with my Ti3...

Un-twist the head a 1/4 turn, that will keep it off.

And it won't come apart either!

I'm definitely not saying that you should get a twisty... but just saying that not all twisties act the way you describe.

My main issue with multi-mode twisties is that they seem to have a tendency to switch through two modes with one twist, detecting a poor contact as two separate contacts. So you try and cycle it three times to go from off through low and med to end up at high, but end up back at low.

I suspect the lube if it does that. I have to regularly wipe lube off the outer contact ring on the circuit board, and more importantly, the corresponding ring of bare metal on the end of the tube body, to maintain a quality connection.

Thrunite Ti5t. It’s a titanium aaa clicky and it has femine line to it. Tool is too manly imo and doesn’t really have space for engraving name.

What about penlights?

The Lumintop IYP365 could be worth a look.

I just got my Lumintop IYP365 and although it has beautiful appearance and tint, the controls sucks just like the four Lumintop Tools I bought. Not very useable imo. The three Astrolux A01 I have have very white tint (estimate 5700k), but is too cool for me and twisty lights suck. I like the Ultratac K18 the most for AAA but haven’t really found an ideal AAA flashlight yet. I think the Reylight Ti Lan (I don’t own one yet) from its description would be the best eneloop light but is not AAA. I’m hoping there will be a Reylight Ti Lan AAA option with the same clickable operations in the future.

I would also suggest the Lumintop IYP365 brass or Ti. Very classy, Nichia option and better runtime with 2xAAA.

I’m also partial to the Ultratac K18 which can be found in chromed SS and brass, Nichia option too, but i have to admit the UI is not obvious. Not sure about engraving space.

The BLF 348 was a very nice SS one mode AAA light but seems to be discontinued right now.

I disagree regarding twisty lights turning on easily… I EDC a couple ones and never had a problem.

I have lumintop iyp365 titanium on the way, she has the ultratac k18 already :person_facepalming:
So far the thrunite ti5t is leading the pack.

Streamlight Stylus Pro used to be quite popular, I see it has already 5300 reviews

right now it goes for $16.99

I think those thrunite lights will came after 4 march, you can contact them or hkequipment to know better :+1:

So, your wife likes flashlights?

Your lucky guy :smiley:

I would’ve suggested the BLF348-219 as a nice light in SS. Cu and brass will oxidise, Ti will look close enough to SS.

Twisties to me are more reliable than clickies. I’ve had tail-clickies and side-clickies turn on and burn through a battery, without exception. Never ever had a twisty turn on by itself.

And how to you lock out a clicky-light? Untwist the tailcap!

Another one you may consider is the Convoy Tiny Torch AAA. One mode in a very cute SS body. Twisty that can also be locked off… But it’s only 70 lumen i think. Choice of three tints for under $10. If not for the wife it’s a must have AAA IMO.

That is a nice light i might get one for my collection :+1:

Make room :slight_smile:

It shouldn’t be hard to take down a bit of the knurling with a file and then polish it up nice with sandpaper. It might even be something a jeweler could do as part of the engraving work.

Well it came in just have to get it engraved :smiley: !!

Good to see you found this light :+1:

The sink.
The toilet.
The floor.
The wife.

The best thing to do for ones wife is to refrain from calling her “the wife”.
