Correct, it is not an eSwitch
The Ti Tool 2.0 has leds under the switchboot, they only work on LiIon. I dont have 14500, so I dont know if those indicator lights are in the Cu Tool AA… I dont think there is parasitic on the TiTool on AA, when the LEDs are not lit
pic is a link to all the details
No kidding.
Jon, are you still using Uyue 946-1010 for reflows?
yes I use the 10x10 hotplate. its just too easy
compare and contrast, both lights weight the same, Rotary has 18350, aspect ratio 3.5 to 1 (light length divided by diameter), the Tool has AA Eneloop, aspect ratio 5 to 1.
the tool needs a screwed on clip solution
improved the beam by removing the centering ring (1mm thick between reflector and mcpcb)
played with my calipers:
the XPL was 0.7mm taller than the sw45k I installed
work in progress
I used a single layer of Kaptan tape between reflector and mcpcb, 0.1 mm… may add 0.2mm later
considering lifting the mcpcb by 1mm… to regain original reflector pressure
atm the O ring at the glass is less compressed than when the 1mm centering ring is in the assembly, though I feel no play when pressing on the glass…
I would like to think the pressure on the thermal paste under the mcpcb is still adequate, at least on Eneloop… since I dont use 14500
the good news is that removing the centering ring gives a big improvement:
the ring of saturn around the hotspot is now gone!
much happier 
Nice light you have there Jon 
Seems like you made a good work making that beam look better, as the SMO reflector may be quite annoying!
Congrats 
Jon, thanks, I’m not sure how I missed that!
happy to help find the relevant info
these lights change from time to time, and I also get lost in the text.
you can have a laugh on me
I tried to unscrew the Tool head halves, in the wrong direction, because I read that the pill is threaded backwards…
well, I can tell you that the head does not unscrew backwards…
I tried.
Done lol.
nice
Plan was to tap it and just screw it to the lanyard area of the light but I used the wrong size bit and it was too big. I just bolted it after that.
looks solid
thanks for taking the time to post photos
It’s my regular edc rotation and I’ve had zero issues with it coming loose. It now has an osram and is my favorite pocket thrower.
happy
thrower? whats an osram?
mine on Eneloop w sw45k is not a thrower at all, has a nice big phat hotspot…
.
fwiw, The CuTool has a discount code that brings it to about $40, pm me if needed, not affiliated, just a fan
if you know of a discount code for a TiTool AA, please PM me I would like to try one…
The Cu Tool AA is very pretty, but quite hefty, and I just gave it away… perfect excuse to buy another
Once again a great LED conversion, congratulations!
Jon, could you measure if the hole spacing of a short Jetbeam RRT-01 clip fits the lanyard opening of the Tool AA, a photo would be great too? I really like the idea of BOO5TED with the clip and I could imagine a Tool AA with the short Jetbeam clip 
I could have thought of that myself, I have already done that with other flashlights 
I cannot show a photo with a Jetbeam clip, because I gave the light away to a good friend.
Maybe someone here owns both an AA Tool and an RRT-01?
What do you need to know?
I have a copper Tool, no Jetbeam clip though, gave the Jetbeam to my dad.
It will probably fit, that is when you are referring to the clip on type
Sorry Osram flat white led, think this one is a W2.
Nope, that’s a White flat 1 mm2 so W1
wow
wonder what the difference is on AA?
Great looking light Jon!
