fast review of the Lumintop Tool AAA

Thanks for the suggestions gentlemen! The one from HKEquipment is not the older version. I was about to buy it, but wanted some confirmation, so I sent a e-mail to them and as far as I understood the Lumintop Tool they have is the newer 3 mode version.

ohaya

I’ll try the e-bay store you suggested, I’ll report back.

Thanks again!!

You’re welcome :slight_smile:
I knew because some weeks ago I also wanted to buy it. Ok, we will wait your impressions, thank you :slight_smile:

I like shapes with smooth curves.

Seems good and my tank is starting to act up with the beating it had got from my toddler. I’ll wait till it dies tho :stuck_out_tongue:

nice review.
i thought about getting one of these before. But now Banggood is sold out.

I PM’ed Banggood about this light, and they said that they are expecting to have them back again by about 9/24.

Jim

Very nice :slight_smile:
But, it’s the XP-G2 version?

Hi,

The light at the link in the OP now (for the clicky version) is available. The BG page says:

The page still says “XP-G R5” though….

Jim

The page said XP-G R5 when i bought the light from the OP, but still it was XP-G2. It would be sneeky of BG if they subsequently would sell an old batch.

I PM’d Neal. The special he advertised on our BLF today with coupon code is for the older 2 mode version. From Selfbuilts review on it, it can be used as a clicky, or a twisty from the head or tailcap :slight_smile: Also, another user said if u do half presses on the clicky you can toggle the modes! Hoo-Yah!

IMO that is sneaky, he did not say that and it is a relevant thing with a new version available and already sold by BG! The new version has XP-G2, more output and a nice AR-coating on the lens, I think it is the better one. The only thing that is nicer about the old one is that it does not seem to use PWM on the low mode.

May I ask you where is the coupon? I looked over here but couldn’t find it.

I need to buy it whether from a person (not a store or company) or really cheap because of customs. Whenever I think I’ve found the 2 mode version it ends up being the newer 3 mode one.

Yep, that is sneaky if it indeed is the old model. I already bought one, hoping to get the new 3-mode version.
They also link to this review in their product description of the light - which leads people to believe that they might be getting the same light that is in the review.

Howdy sir. Yes, I would prefer the new one also but I want the moonlight from the old one! Yours still doing ok on the 10440, hasn’t gone POOF yet?

I think that all of this stuff about old version vs. new version, and which one BG was “on sale” is the main reason I haven’t jumped on this. I am so confused at this point about this “deal”…

I agree, it’s confusing. Maybe this will make it simpler?

If you want the old version (2 mode), use this: Banggood's Daily Deals -2.6th Updated, Astrolux® EA04 37.99$+Convoy C8+ SST40 25.99$+ Astrolux® VC04S 20.99$ +Astrolux® C8 24.99$ and so on

If u want the newer 3 mode, try this: HKEQUIPMENT - 照明及戶外用品

or maybe someone is sure of a Banggood link for the newer version?

What is the tint/runtimes?

Wait a minute ...i bought one too because it was the three mode version since thats what the description said .

I read Djozz's review and was excuted to see neal put it up for sale ..I wanted 3 mode Ar/ lens and xpg-2 not and older emitter and two modes . Thats unfair to bait and switch . Damn I was excited about this light too ..Now depression is setting in .:(

I'd say if you want a certain version you'd better contact them first .

I‘m very interested in this one. MARATAC COPPER AAA.

Seems it's very similar with Lumintop Tool AAA.
