Someone’s flashaholicness is in question? Oh my. I was the one who deleted the post, I asked a question that had already been answered in the descritption. :person_facepalming:
copper tool head fits copper maratac body yes?
Knurling varies between different versions of the Maratac/Tool
Massdrop copper tool has eSwitch, and LMH
Lumintop worm was also basis for Prometheus Beta, but w LMH
Lumintop copper worm is MLH, low is 3 lumen in Nichia
Lumintop copper Tool is MLH
massdrop copper tool is LMH starting @3 lumen in Nichia
massdrop Ti Tool is LMH
reylight TiTool and ReyLight CuTool were LMH starting @ 1 lumen
they were followed by the Lumintop versions, in MLH
see the pattern?
Lumintop builds MLH worm and tool
ReyLight had them do LMH tool CU and TI
Massdrop had them do LMH tool CU Ti and AL
DarkSucks had them do LMH from worm
Maratac is Lumintop MLH
(maratac claims vastly higher lumens but tests the same as Lumintop Tool on my lightmeter)
hope you dont get brainfry
I am not a collector, I might be an accumulator though
Ahh, so I need a ReyLight if I want a low moonlight and LMH, thank you.
I do see the pattern.
These lights are amazing. I am really coming around to the massdrop Tool for it’s quick/easy/one-handed operation. Nice light, just not as beautiful as the maratac. My copies of each have nearly identical beams at all levels. Thanks for all of the info, apparently I have more to explore.
I’m sorry, this is the second time I’ve deleted a post on this thread (and forum) because I DIDN’T READ closely. Initially, I thought you said the eswitch version CAN support 10440, then I read more closely, and therefore deleted my thread. I’m done deleting, promise. :person_facepalming:
I don’t have an aluminum Tool…butt I have a few copper ones which all work fine w/10440
none of my e/switch ones (titanium ones) work, just on one output
it has to do with the switch
lucydog…
Thank you for posting this clarification.
It’s just hard to justify my reply when it’s gone.
Yeah, it appears that the e/switch can not support the 10440 battery.
The Tool is a great light and I carry one in two of my outdoor grab hoodies.
I got my e-switch version today and was initially putoff by the UI. “5 clicks to high??? Awe, h*ll no!” Yet it’s the one I’ve reached for throughout the day because it is one-handed and quick. I like it a lot, and I expect to like the reverse-click version even more.
heres the feature/bug skinny
the eSwitch Tools on 10440 are high mode only until the battery drops to 3.8volts
massdrop aluminum tool is eSwitch, so 10440 feature/bug applies
there is also an aluminum Tool w Nichia and Mechanical switch, it does work with 10440, but bear in mind there is no overdischarge protection built into the light
same for Maratac… no OD protection, and unsanctioned to use 10440, but people do…
Im a LiIon newbie, hung up on using protection in case I fall asleep with the light on
