Nice review! It’s a cute light, but I’d prefer a smooth TIR instead of the honeycomb. I do like the integrated charging with indicator lights. The included mini carabiner is a nice touch as well.
I don’t have pictures, but it can throw a bit, more than I expected from this TIR, like the perfect balance for me
Without this carabiner it would sit on my shelf and rest with other lights
Great review, yet a witty one. Obviously much time and heart put in but worth the effort. I’ve read from the very beginning to the very end almost holding my breath. This is a good proof for that you don’t need tons of sophisticated devices to make a review interesting and pleasant in reading.
It can’t tail stand, because of this attaching hole. There is only one version as far as I know.
It is integrated, but you know, you can remove this attaching hole, if you really want to
Or, get a ring magnet that fits around the bump, and glue it in place. Then you can have tail stand AND tail magnet! I don’t have one of these lights, so I don’t know what the dimensions should be. But I got one of the Olight Tan i3e lights, and someone asked about tail stand for that one. I looked at K & J Magnetics and they did have one the right size for the Olight. They probably have one that will fit this light too. It might even be the same size.
Some people use tiny lights and/or not-so-bright lights to go to the toilet at night. So, maybe tail stand is for when you’re sitting on the pot and don’t want to have to hold the light while doing your business? I’m sure there are other uses as well. Just thought of that one first.
I have an Astrolux M01, but it is an almost useless flicker party. What about with this light? I assume it is ok because no flicker is mentioned in the test.
So, my question is: if the battery dies, can it be changed, like in the Astrolux? Lumintop’s page says it have a 10180 battery, but is it welded/soldered/glued in, or replaceable?
Battery isn’t replacable, it is integrated part, so when it dies, it dies. But I wouldn’t worry about it, everything seems good quality, so battery should last reasonably long.
