I wonder if it uses XPL-HD or XP-L2.
Iāve ordered a few Tool AA 2.0 (black, grey, white) from their AliExpress store recently (sale) and when I was testing each of them, I noticed that the black & white were slightly brighter (doing a ceiling bounce test), and the beam pattern seems slightly different (there are some visible āyellowishā artifacts). I compared with the Tool AA 2.0 grey, which is just slightly less bright but has a cleaner hotspot (on ceiling bounce).
Then I checked the LEDs installed on these new batch Tool AA 2.0. The black & white versions had XP-L2 LED (which causes the slight yellowish artifacts on the hotspot), whereas the grey was using XPL-HD, showing a cleaner hotspot.
If these come to be sold for a good price outside those FB groups Iād replace the led no matter what it would be using This said, i find it strange they are using XP-L2. All the Tool lights i have were/are XPL-HD
Wow, nice and small light!
Do you have a link to FB or where to find more info?
I donāt know if this link will work but here is the interest list:
Maybe some of the FB users around can get to LT and tell them to run a Group Buy here too?
Please?
Sent them a message, letās see if they reply
Many thanks Yokiamy
Crossing fingers for it
I thought they did it in Ti once a while back, but Iām not sure.
Anyway, I think Iāll have to grab one of these for sure.
Is it 14500 only? Or does the switch light work even with AA, like gchartās booster tail?
I thought that the Massdrop (aka Drop) Titanium AA was a tool made by Lumintop for them. Donāt they have a copper version currently for sale? Anyone?
I went to look it up and I didnāt see the copper, but Iām pretty sure they did the Lumintop Ti in blue not too long back. https://drop.com/everyday-carry/drops
The bad thing about Drop is that you have to be signed up to perv on their products. The cool thing is that you can vote on things you think you want to buy before they get listed. So lets say you are part of āoutdoorā community. Anyone can list like 4 or 5 differing things which the community votes on the what they think is best, lets say down coats. They list a Marmot, a Patagonia and a couple of others give or take. Eventually you see what the numbers look like for the various coats. Drop lists the winner (maybe even a couple) as for sale and takes your money as a pre-order. The more users that order an item, the lower the cost isā¦they note what those numbers will be. So they may list a particular brand of down coat that the community considers the best for $150 if they get 20 people to pre-order it. If they only get 19 folks to buy it they refund your money and no sale. However if more than 25 but if less than 50 people sign up (which can often be a good deal) theyāll sell it for $150 but it will drop to $132 if more than 50 pay for it. (those are examples) They carry no inventory.
Edit: searched google saw a picture of a Ti AAA in blue offered by Drop earlier, maybe thatās what I was thinking.
Ma Bee
Can they also make a copper version ?
I just got a reply from Lumintop, they are trying to get a deal done for the Ti 2.0 !
They are just waiting approval from the boss

Ok, sorry I might be mistaken, but is it an XP-G3 or XP-L2?
(in each set is a Tool AA 2.0 with XPL-HD, Nichia 219C ā these 2 are from Tool AA 2.0 HM DIY kit; and the remaining one from a stand-alone Tool AA 2.0 recent batch)

Looks like itās on their site now:
Lumintop Tool AA2.0 Titanium 650 Lumens EDC Flashlight
Price: USD 55.95
Just need a group buy. As expected, just a titanium shell with no other changes. Sigh. Still want it though. Bah.
I have two black Lumintop AA Tool lights. The titanium light looks amazing. I would be interested.
Thanks very much.

They shared the link and a discount code on Reddit. āTOP215ā for 15% off.
Just saw this on FB
Victor asked me to check my BLF posts before doing a groupbuy?
I donāt want to be responsible for it, but weāll see what happens
Thanks, I couldnāt wait and ordered with 20% discount for $46.
Looks awesome, despite the bad thermal properties of Titanium.
I will replace it with the internals of my modded alu tool AA. Hope I wonāt fry the LEDā¦
