Yes, this thing runs hot, i was the one who experienced the LED wires came off during runtime testing.
Victor from Lumintop told me they are working on a new version with a copper head
So, arguably, the worst aspect of the Tool 2.0 is the LED. Having bought some of these ti ones, anybody have a good place to buy a nice emitter on a 14mm board to do a swap?
Got a bit caught up in Firefox scripts, but finally managed to order one.
FWIW: in the description of the other AA Tools (black, grey, white) they weigh circa 25g.
The description of the silver one says it weighs 40g. And it has an illuminated tailcap.
Even if it’s “only” an aluminum light, it’s still a good buy for a modest €9.58.
Thanks or the heads up.
EDIT: about 4½ hours after thanking me for the order I got a second mail from FT.
Saying they can’t deliver the light (I already paid for) for the price we agreed upon.
Apparently they made a mistake and want me to pay more/extra for the light or get a refund.
I’ll have to think about that, but my first impulse is telling them we have a deal, and stick to it.
I think there’s no cure for this condition we all have here. It spreads so easy with a few pecks of the keyboard.
I already own one of these, I told myself I don’t need another one. Had it in my cart, even though I wasn’t going to buy it and walked away to eat supper. After supper, I come back here to BLF and my condition kicked in.
Next thing I remeber is a Fasttech page saying “Thanks for your order”
And a pretty one, as the others in the post
Thanks for taking them to document how the light is composed
Flashlight community benefits from that work for sure
About this light…I ain’t sure if I’ll go for it despite I love it!
