excellent review. I thought max lumen was supposed to be 85 on the nichias? Anyway, still close enough. Do u have any runtime figures by any chance?
Regards,
82 in a big box OTF is close to the 85 the manufacturer says imho…
but all that measures are (good) guestimates 
and
thanks for the kind words! 
Many thanks for this review, I really enjoyed this pictures'orgy 
Looks great. Has anyone tried 10440?
Thanks for the PREview!
I’ve received a pre-production unit too, and will reviewing it soon.
using a Lithium will destroy the boost circuit i was told - AAA will not work any more (if you are lucky)
maybe it works DD afterwards only
I would love this light with memory and some 1000 lumen hyperdrivemode 
with high CRI led. I own the XP-G2 version now.
maybe, or maybe he is the first to take Lumintop up on their offer to make N219 Tools
using a group buy to generate preorders to fill a minimum order for a light Lumintop already offers:
http://www.lumintop.com/copper-tool-aaa.html
you can see that link offers N219 with a 3 lumen low
I just received a CU Maratac aaa with the same ring around the LED at the base of the reflector as the reviewed CU Tool with N219 and No PWM. The latest Maratac also has No PWM! It is also MLH. The driver differs in output, the Maratac has a 1.5 lumen low
I do think ReyLight is the first to get Lumintop to offer an LMH mode sequence, and a 1 lumen low with N219.
The previousl CU Tool had a 5 lumen low with XPG2 (same driver with N219 produced 3 lumen low)
Conclusion, The last CU Tools had XPG2, PWM and 5 lumen low
then Lumintop offered an N219, that no one until Rey Light has generated an order for, and he has had the driver modified to a 1% low instead of a 5% low, and requested the LMH sequence.
I suspect the Tool and the Maratac will also lego, for those that want an N219 CU twisty, like me, or an XPG2 Maratac Clickie, or both…
the PWM of the most recent copper Tool on medium, compared to the latest Maratac on Medium
You know, we always improved our lights Big smile NOT because of only one but for all fans’s need Big smile Big smile
I like, it shows that Maratac has benefitted from the new Non PWM circuit, which seems to coincide with the new reflector ring around the LED:
Im hoping for a Maratac with a 90+ CRI 4000k N219 and a low of .5 lumens, my preferred modes are MHL, but Im flexible on that
Thanks for giving us No PWM copper options. LOVE the coppers
now about that Tool tailswitch… it would benefit us to be able to tailstand… with the rubber cap flush with the ears, in future revisions…
Tool AAA no PWM now in production and Yes tail standing in the near future, Maybe in titanium version :bigsmile:
Titanium could be a very popular option, especially for a clicky!
No one would need to worry about the threads being gritty.
I would also enjoy a non black pocket clip, I would pay extra for titanium.
Looks like about what we should be expecting in the GB, can’t wait. Great pictures, especially with the different tints. Although the pictures may misrepresent the colors, it shows how a high CRI light can make colors pop more.
I prefer the tailcap as is for easy access. Instead, a future titanium version should include a tail-standing tailcap like their current aluminum Tools.
Is the tail stander a twisty or clicky?
twist, hence good for copper, not good for titanium
I believe it also has a magnet
and it has the maratac style wire ring for keychain
Olight keyring attachment point works better imo
Also the Tool Clickie keyring option seems to rub on the rubber switchcap, bears improvement somehow
found a pic on an N219 betwixt and between cool and warm LEDs:
Really looking forward to the new ReyLight CU Tool with LMH modes, NoPwm, and N219…
uh, how about some trits in the tailcap ears?
Just pay attention to our website or our updates :evil: And feel free to put any of your suggestion here and we may adopt it and improved in your next light 
So now I bought the near-perfect Rey-version copper Tool, and then in the coming months the tail-standing Tool comes out.
It is cruel...
since the twist-the-head is already possible you just need Abbie to convince to do a run on switchless tailcaps in copper…
You have a point there: thanks to the light being all copper, it can be DIY'ed too using old-school plumbing: grind the lanyard 'ears' off the tail, remove the switch, and using a small blow torch, solder a small copper round in with a (fairly long) spring on top.
or buy the Maratac
Great light! Already own a stock copper, want to pick up the almost perfect ReyLight version soon.
