Yeah, the Nitefox looks like the way to go. Looks like it was made for the Nano and is now offered at less than $11.00 with the 10% discount on Amazon.
I’m resisting as well.
And I think I may keep doing so until Lumintop gets their act together and releases a longer tube as well.
I’m not sure really. But the light is expensive and I really don’t feel like paying a lot for a light that could have been much more than it is. OTOH I realize that they may never cave to our demands and by resisting I will just lose out.
Yeah, I don’t get why some of these alternative 10440 tubes listed in this thread aren’t good enough for the Nano and folks are still waiting for Lumintop to finally bring theirs out which will be more expensive?
Do whatever you want but we’re a quizzical bunch here on BLF!
Yes, I remember your posts and thanks for that and that’s fine if folks want an actual factory Nano 10440 tube and to each their own.
I just meant that if you can’t wait for the factory offering, there’s alternatives out there at less expensive prices. In fact the Nitefox tube looks almost identical to the Nano 10440 tube.
Again, if your preference is for the factory tube, go for it and enjoy!
I’m impatient so I bought 2 Nitefox lights from Amazon. The tubes work very well. I also use the Tool AAA Tube and it works well.
Now I have 2 very tiny twisty lamps using the Nitefox heads,the Nano tubes and the diffusers that came with Nitefox lights.
I do understand what you say too, don’t get me wrong
The thing is, as “we” were teased with something “stock” which was then abandoned or postponed, I guess we feel in the right to ask for that “tease” to become something else!
I even thought Nitefox was out of business these days and that it would be hard to get something from them. But fortunately it seems they are still selling their small AAA lights (I have one)!
Still, the thing is: why will people buy 2 lights if they could buy only one, if the tube became true? That is my point.
Other than that, I may give it a chance just to get a keychain light with the nano tube
But, to each its own!
I’m also hoping the head of the Nitefox will fit on the stock short Nano tube to double as a keychain light just for fun. All of this Nano stuff, right or wrong or whatever, has been fun stuff! Thanks Lumintop!
