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

Martin, do you know if the FW3A clip will fit this EDC18?

It’s not likely, but who knows? Maybe Lumintop can offer just the clip for sale. (I have a black clip, but would like to buy a silver one)

list updated

18350 is likely to happen :beer:
but keep on wanting!

Martin,
Any way to get some kind of comparison on how quickly the EDC18 steps down in Turbo and high modes compared to the FW3A? ( in other words, is the heat management and transfer about the same…or does the EDC18 handle it a little better?)

The EDC18 will definitely handle turbo and heat better than the FW3A, this is why:

- Surface area is larger (bulkier + heat fins)

- Weight is more, although not yet announced I estimate the weight of EDC18 to be at least 65 grams (probably even 70 grams)

- Software is the same, ANDURIL, so no change there.

Updates on this will probably be determinant for me to buy this light, so I will wait :wink:

I am definitely interested, and filled out the email form.

Thanks!

Martin, have you tried opening the bezel up? Did it come with a glass lens to allow for us to use our own optic?

as said - my early sample is press fit, but lumintop assured me that the production light offer the possibility to change the optics

I hope it will be threaded so that it can apply proper pressure to the MCPCB and not burn the LED’s.

Interested.

Happy birthday to me!
Is there going to be a single led reflector version? Zebralight really needs some competition. When is someone going to make a light comparable to the s64?

I agree - the lumintop SD Mini, to me, was about perfect size, finish, etc. Not sure how it compares to the SC64 family (you meant SC64?) - probable the SD Mini is a little bigger all around but has an SMO reflector and bigger head for better throw.

Look'n at the specs, the EDC05 is a closer fit but smaller. So the SC64 is about in the middle of the 2 at 92.5 mm long, 24.5 mm head diam.

Not to hijack, but this thread on the YLP Unicorn 1.0 may interest you.

Yep that's pretty darn close to cloning a Zebralight. Not much recent info - says $38, $45 shipped but I wouldn't trust ordering from ylplight.com, hhmmmm. Who knows if it's real yet.

It’s actually $37 shipped (with this coupon code) :wink:

Ohh, I see. Just ordered the Panda 2M CRI actually on coupon... Sorry, back to the EDC18 now.
