Thanks so much for the review! Great beamshots and lumen measurements!!, something which was missing in my review.
Tube diameter confirmed: Of my samples (i own/had owned 4 copies) the very latest one was thin in diameter (body tube inner diameter) such that Eneloops would fit but alkalines not. Some alkaline AAA were too thick (=fat) in diameter. Fat cells do fit in older E09 versions (depending on the serial number hehe).
And on the older samples the PWM was on the lower side and i could even hear faint whining on Eneloops (on Med-mode, on Lo-mode) but not on 10440's. This aural discovery has been added (info) in my review. You should be able to hear faint whining too, since you dont use 10440's.
Thanks for the review, Old! I may have to pick one of those up. It blows away the ITP in higher modes but equals it in low, very impressive! I had no idea the E09 had such a nice low nor was that bright.
I also wasn't aware of just what a sexy little light that Maratac is.
I Have one on order from Manafont, but don't know when it will get here. Service seems slow, but I expect that from China. I hope Eneloops will fit as that is what I plan to use. Now I am concerned as to whether or not they will.
Thanks for the review. I may order another if we know that Eneloops will fit. The output is surprising to me, but I see it is at the expense of run time.
Has there been a review of the AA model. I also noticed from the Manafont site that there is an extension for the AA that allows the use of two AA. I suppose it would not affect the output but only the run times?
Thank you very much. That was a GREAT review of the Lumintop Worm. Made me want one. I appreciate the comments re the 10440s. I have some on order, and plan to give them a try. I have the iTP A3 and the LD 01.
I am grateful for you who have such a wealth of knowledge and share it with us.
