[M4D deal updated] Lumintop EDC18 $39.95 (FW3A in a classic body)

I signed up. The clip is the only thing I’m not sold on.

Any idea if magnet from tail cap is easy removable?


NO
seems to be glued behind the tailcap/spring PCB

I would be definitely interested in the 18350 tube, but even more into an 18500 one. Got the 18500 tube for my Emisar D4V2 and haven't swapped it since. Too bad that's one of the very few lights with 18500 cell support. Even for the Jaxman E2L you can't find an 18500 tube to buy any longer..

Other gripes I would have with the EDC18 would be first, as others mentioned before in the thread, the side e-switch on the light.. It should be recessed, even more so now that the body is bigger and would allow for more space to play with as far as switch positioning is concerned. Second, I would take a single emitter, slightly longer version of this light at any time. And that along with a SMO reflector. I wouldn't really care about aux lights, especially if we already have a lit side switch.

Hello my dear friends!

Today i preview the Lumintop EDC18 for you - a 18650 powered sideswitch flashlight, driven by toykeepers great Anduril UI.

A reverseable deep carry clip, the tail magnet and the illuminated switch are big improvements of the FW3A idea while keeping the good points of it.

Nice… but i like camera watching in closeup the torch it self. Couldn’t see much…

Nice video! I can see the appeal of this one. If I didn’t already have two FW3A lights already…

why is it longer than FW3A ? seems like with a side switch it could be shorter…

Joined the group buy.

I never bought the FW3A because i dont like tail switches.

Also can fit longer cells is an advantage.

Nice video. No bad surprises. I am happy to order. Would be nice if it was few mm shorter but not a deal-breaker.

A side switch takes up a bit more room around the driver area. So you basically just shift the space from the tail to the driver area. Net result is about the same length.
This light has an extra few millimeters in length to accommodate the longer battery. You can use 70mm while FW3A was limited to about 66mm or so.

Interested.

A couple of questions: is the magnet removable and is there a hole for a lanyard to attach?

Would like the XP-L HI (5000k) please.

It’s a bit bigger than I was hoping for, the button sticks out a lot and the clip is kinda meh. It seems like more direct competition for an emisar d4 v2.

That said. Still looks interesting at a good price point.

interested…
