LIVE: Lumintop ODF30 groupbuy

Brief introduction and cell compatibility

the new ODF30 has some 4-8% higher output as well

Interested. Pm me please.

already 2 people told me they got the springs

I just received my ODF30 yesterday, very pleased with the light. My light has a spring in it as well and seems to fit short 26650 batteries no problem. Waiting on my shockli 26650 5500mah batteries from mtn electronics. At the group buy price, I don’t believe there is anything close to this light. The switch rubber cover feels a bit flimsy to my liking, possible it might wear out over time. Other than that I couldn’t be happier. I might make this my new light for carry at work out on the flight line. Took a lot of convincing of myself to pull the trigger on a cool white light. This is the only cool white light I own, I may stick something warmer in it, we’ll see how it goes. Thanks martin for negotiating this deal.

nice to hear

That’s nice to hear. Do you know what causes the higher output? I would have thought replacing a button contact with a spring would have had an opposite effect.

I got a great deal on the Rofis MR70 using Martin’s code.

Unfortunately the Lumintop ODF30 isn’t as good a deal.

1. No included 26650 battery.
2. No dual side light (but that’s ok.)
3. UI not as straightforward.
4. Higher price.
5. No mode inbetween the mid 540 lumens to high 1800 lumens. An extra 1000/1100 lumens mode would be very useful.
6. The rubber switch feels a bit cheap.

Will wait for the next updated version or a better coupon… whichever comes first! :slight_smile:

price difference is 12 $ (ODF30 is cheaper)

Interested

I don’t know the rofis history. Lumintop is a good brand… I am very happy with my odf30.

Liitokala, efest, and shockli all fits in the odf30.

Agreed. But so is Rofis. Their products are all top notch.

The Rofis MR70 has a similar max of 3500 lumens on turbo. It steps down to 1500 lumens after about 3 mins. That is a nice long period on turbo.

High is 1000 lumens. But doesn’t get too hot to hold at all even in an equatorial climate. Excellent flood.

Mid is a nice 540 lumens too.

And my personal peeve with the Lumintop ODF30 is that it doesn’t have a microUSB port for internal charging. The Rofis MR70 not only has a 2A quick charge port but can act as a powerbank too in an emergency.

What I do like about the Lumintop ODF30 is the constant high 1800 lumens in its HIGH MODE. If those heat sink fins allow comfortable handling while it runs on HIGH for an extended period, it would be truly useful. Can any owner confirm?

Based on the runtime charts that Narmattaru posted here , High mode is not constant. It steps down after about 20 minutes, but that’s a fairly long time.

I just got the code and ordered the light, now the wait begins……

Just make sure to use unprotected 26650 if you want to use turbo mode… protected cell wouldn’t provide enough power.

How much current does it draw in Turbo?

Received mine - new version - here (through Martin). Great deal as always!

If you haven’t received yours yet, pay particular attention to Martin’s video clip at post #38 in this thread.

The tiny/thin/short front battery contact spring seems to be very sensitive to pressure. Mine compressed flat without much pressure at all - didnt’ even attempt a 70.00mm at all. (By the way, the spring in my unit looked darkish in color out of the box, not brassy at all.)

With the permanently compressed spring, my ODF30 has no tolerance for battery length at all. It fits or it does not.

Someone can answer about current draw… I know for sure acebeam 26650 protected will not make it to turbo mode… it stays on turbo mode for one second and went back to high mode… mode

Just giving out some information… that’s all…

Now turbo mode is died… anyone experience with the unprotected 26650?

which cell are you using in this light?

I tested amp draws using a Liitokala 26650 cyan.

At 4v, turbo to eco:
9.0
3.84
1.0
0.214
0.015

At 3.6v:
10 for a few seconds then steps down to 6.4
4.6
1.26
0.250
0.025

It’s important to make sure the battery tabs are compressing on the cell. I tried to fit a protected KeepPower, but it didn’t fit and it compressed the tail cap tab. This tab does not spring back very much at all. After putting the shorter unprotected Liitokala back in turbo would step down after 1 second. I had to bend the tab on the tail cap back up to apply better pressure on the battery. Then it worked normally.

Lumintop sells a protected 26650 that fits it, but I think it’s quite short at 68.5mm. Most protected 26650 are longer than that.

Also, early versions of the light had the metal tab design on the driver, but later versions have a single metal spring . The tail cap PCB still has the metal tab design.

I posted a mini review with pics and lumen measurements here if anyone is interested. Short Review of Lumintop ODF30
