LED Flashlights – General Info 1 x AAA Flashlights

I’m curious, does the one from AliExpress come with the glow-in-the-dark diffuser cap?
(the product description does not mention it)

22

Check on the buyers reviews here :wink: Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com

It does have it :+1:

23

another voiceless demo of the Lumintop EDC01 (blue = “summer”)

24

I guess the dog “voices” it correctly :smiley:

This M-L-H interface cracks my nerves :person_facepalming:
Otherwise I might have bought it already in the Nichia version :zipper_mouth_face:

25

Tell me about it. I got an AAA Tool which looks to be a beautiful solid light, but start-on-medium condemns it to be a box-queen.

26

you might prefer the LMH model then

27

Thanx, but nah. I rarely use AAA lights, yet have a bunch of Glarees, a few Zanflares, even a non-NMM A01(!).

Whennahell I’ll ever use ’em all, who knows. 1-2 twisties for zipper-pulls is about it.

28

In regards to the MLH mode distribution, from personal experience it’s a torch you’ll pull out for general utility, as the first light accessible with no finagling necessary. My Tool taught me to use it like it’s a big girl. Meanwhile, LMH is very useful for a pajama light or as a backup, like my old Thrunite Ti3 (though I use the Tool as a pajama torch, so yeah).

Speaking of, as far as AAA twisties go I’ll stay with my Ti3 and await a groundbreaking upgrade in the category.

29

I had similar experience, at first I started with a Ti3, that starts on firefly, but I got tired of double twisting for the majority of my use and then decided its best use was as a Pee Light, (nightstand)

Now I much prefer MLH for EDC, and the Lumintop Tool (not the LMH Massdrop version) and MLH Maratac are favorites.

Ive also come to appreciate the Oligh UI, with memory. I can set 0.5 lumens for nightstand use, and then set other brighter modes for EDC during the day, and evening. If only they were Nichia compatible…

no perfect light, which is why we have more than one :slight_smile:

30

Yep, I EDC the Tool too and found that Mid right off the bat makes it a quick and easy pick for ED tasks instead of always twisting twice like the Ti3, which I always treated as a backup if my main light ever went dead (wanna extend runtime as much as physically possible if that happens). My ideal torch would be a LMH Tool with mode memory like the AA Tool 2.0 promises to be; if it has no memory, Mid from the get-go is great.

Also yeah, so we can only keep buying in search of the perfect one :stuck_out_tongue:

31

Hmm… The short head suggests it’s built like the Olight i3E.
LED on the driver PCB, no pill.
So it should be cheap, right?

32

Hmmm… This seems unlikely:

A reflector plus a pebbled lens??
Why not a TIR?
I suspect it is a TIR.

33

My guess is that it is a small TIR optic.
I’ve been using them in some AA flashlights and the beam gets improved in all of them :blush:

EDIT: maybe d_t_a can tell us more about it :wink:

34

The previous EDC01 shown is from a friend’s.

I’ve just gotten a “warm-white” (Nichia 219C) EDC01, which looks like below:

35

Thanks d_t_a, it is confirmed to be a TIR!
That image, Jerommel, it seems to be a bit misleading :confounded:
Someone thought about a new concept there :smiley:

36

Massdrop is offering the flashlight , the drop will end on Sept 9 Lumintop EDC 01

37

So it’s not a reflector, it’s actually the pill.

38

Hum, I guess someone put a reflector there, it doesn’t seem much like a pill :stuck_out_tongue:
If you look at the picture, the reflector seems oversized to if the head and seems hollow !
Well, it was some kind of invention :smiley:

39

I’m guessing it was a miscommunication between engineering and marketing :smiley:

40

Looks like those “clickbait” youtube videos where you see one image as thumbnail and then you pass the entire video seeking for it but it’s never there :smiley:
