If you dont like AR, have you considered removing the coating?
If you dont like the tint, changing the glass is not going to help, you need to change the LED.
true, but, Im not positive they are not coated, and they cost more than the Ti3
the ebay seller was guhofind
if someone wants to write and ask for a specific diameter and thickness, he is very helpful. The info thanks to Archibald Tuttle
Bottom line for me, the Ti3 needs an LED swap, not a lens swap
Agreed on the emitter swap. I have six Ti3 of various generations purchased between 2014 and early 2020. The ones I’ve purchased most recently are early “V2” models probably made in 2019. That model’s AR coating appears to remove more red than the earlier generations did (made even the 219b Sw45k look not-so-rosy). Polishing the AR coating off alleviated this but its a PITA.
edit: I’ll have to try that cleaning product. Thanks!
Speaking of…anyone know of any MCPCBs for E21/E17 or Optisolis that we could swap into these Ti3s? The only source I know of has been out of stock for awhile.
That’s a borderline grail light for me. Very nice.
I’ll check with Clemence if he has a timeline for another run of boards. Hoping Barry at Sofirn can come up with something in the meantime.
I ordered 3x Ti3 v2 (in one order / purchase) over the past weekend. 2x CW and 1x NW. All three shipped separately.
Arrived Tuesday: NW model, USPS delivered in Amazon white / blue bubble envelope packaging
Arrived Wednesday: CW model, UPS delivered in plain yellow bubble envelope
Arrived Thursday: CW model, USPS delivered in Amazon white / blue bubble envelope
Looking up the USPS and UPS tracking, each one originated from a different city, too.
And, further, one of the packing slips was completely wrong, indicating the item inside was a ThruNite T20 CR123 A.
Anyway, these are my first twisties since Maglite AAA & AA models going way back. The firefly mode is fun, really neat little light. It’s waaaay tinier than I expected!
The 470 ohm low resistor swap I did earlier I had thought was way to much resistance. Come to find out I had a few 47K resistors placed in the wrong bin. So it was a 47K resistor I tried for low and that was too low. Barely could tell it was glowing, but the 47K mix up explains such a low low. I tried a few other values and came to settle on 1K for the low resistor.
I ordered this freebie from Lumintop and it arrived three days later. Amazing. I would like to personally thank Lumintop for the flashlight. I gave 20 of the AA version away last thanksgiving, and I may do the same with this AAA now that I have one to play with. Car fiend friends like them for the magnetic base. So yes, their giveaway might yield fruit.

Oh man, my mistake. Apologies. The Thrunite giveaway came in the mail, not Lumintop. I may pickup a few more at retail to give to friends and family. It’s a nice twisty. There’s no Lumintop giveaway I’m aware of, just my confusion.
Looks like the free Ti3 (you pay shipping) deal has passed. I couldn’t find anything about it on the site like it was when the deal was active.
I assume its over.
