LuminTop EDC05 AA(14500) Flashlight

#5

Have a link

I have no protected 14500 on hand.

However, there is plenty of room for protected 14500.

Thanks for the review, very good! Love it much! :+1:

Will the EDC05 be available at Amazon?… My employer rewards us with Amazon gift cards and I have some $$$ saved up . ;^)

Hi, yes it will be. The EDC05 is now on the way and estimated to be available on Amazon US next Friday. Expected!

Awesome!!! cant wait to get one. thanks

Got my EDC05 in yesterday 1-6-2018. I was using it while taking my daughter to sleep and after about a minute on high mode the lens cracked in half :cry: I contacted banggood about the problem and they took care of me today :smiley: When I chatted with Lumintop they said it was do to the bezel being to tight and the heat caused it to crack :open_mouth: I did not know this could happen and now I know. I wonder if it could happen with larger lenses like the C8 size or large. The EDC05 is an awesome little light and the UI is great. :+1:

Well, good to know, guess when I get mine I’ll reset the bezel so it’s not as tight

Just recieved my edc05 today. Has extra room for protected 14500 cells just like the one in the review. Super nice flashlight. Thanks for the review steel_1024.

LUMINTOP EDC05
XP-L or XP-L Hi

You can see from the photo that is a XP-L Hi.


what light is on the right side?

Eagle Eye F10

Does anyone have beamshots of this light? :wink:
Specially to see how it reaches in distance (once it has XPL-HI), and if possible compared with other AA/14500 flashlights!

A new member asked for a AA light with similar characteristics of the ones that this EDC05 has, but with throw, and I recommended to take a look to this one.
Having pictures (if possible comparing it with others) would be great to see what this light does :wink:

Thanks in advance :+1:

I had the same problem with 2 utorch ut01 from GB. They resend and the 3rd one was ok. I noticed the driver on old utorch is different has a manker logo,but new ones do not,and the driver on lumintop look the same as the one on the utorch. So the problem is driver. For the money lumintop shoul have better quality control and made their own driver…

I agree. Don’t get me wrong, the physical design of the light is fantastic. I really like the machine work and springs, however that really doesn’t mean much if the job it’s designed to do falls short.

My EDC05 has been erratic and inconsistent with NiMH and Alkaleak. 14500 cells though have been alright (since I always unscrew the tailcap anyways).

EDC05
14500 IMR
>LMHT = All work fine
>Must power interrupt tailcap to turn back on

Eneloop
>LMH = All work fine, Turbo shuts off after a second
>Must power interrupt tailcap to turn back on

Alkaleak
>LM = All work fine. H is dimmer than eneloop or 14500. Turbo shuts off after a second
>Don’t need power interrupt tailcap to turn back on

E^2 Lithium
>LMH = All work fine. Turbo shuts off after a second
>Don’t need power interrupt tailcap to turn back on

Every once in a while, with random battery changes using Alkaleak, E^2 and eneloop the EDC05 would enter a WEIRD mode sequence… LMH, Strobe, SOS, Beacon, OFF. Turning it back ON, it would then proceed to behave as above… LMH and Turbo 1 sec shut off

Is this light available anywhere? Amazon is preferred, but open to other sources as well.

What is the light on the left side? I “need” more flat dark earth lights in my life :D.

I don’t think we will see more on Amazon until the driver issues are sorted out. They have acknowledged to me that a driver issue is indeed present. Looking forward to the fixes as its a nice looking light.
