I am about to dismantle an Alu Tool AA for the first time to change the LED (as in as soon as this site releases it’s hold on me) so thanks for the info, perfect timing!
Yes, this thing runs hot, i was the one who experienced the LED wires came off during runtime testing.
Victor from Lumintop told me they are working on a new version with a copper head
So, arguably, the worst aspect of the Tool 2.0 is the LED. Having bought some of these ti ones, anybody have a good place to buy a nice emitter on a 14mm board to do a swap?
Got a bit caught up in Firefox scripts, but finally managed to order one.
FWIW: in the description of the other AA Tools (black, grey, white) they weigh circa 25g.
The description of the silver one says it weighs 40g. And it has an illuminated tailcap.
Even if it’s “only” an aluminum light, it’s still a good buy for a modest €9.58.
Thanks or the heads up.
EDIT: about 4½ hours after thanking me for the order I got a second mail from FT.
Saying they can’t deliver the light (I already paid for) for the price we agreed upon.
Apparently they made a mistake and want me to pay more/extra for the light or get a refund.
I’ll have to think about that, but my first impulse is telling them we have a deal, and stick to it.
