Recently, Lumintop has launched another powerful light – the ED11.
Lumintop has been focusing on practical products. However, Lumintop has launched the ED11 – this small and covenient model after the launch of some products which are excellent at both practicability and brightness, such as the TD15X and ED20. Let’s discuss it…
The ED11 has a tiny Body. It uses one CR123A or 16340 battery to have high output of 460 lumens, which is no less than the high output of other medium-sized lights. Its rectangular threads, coated tempered window, finely-processed stainless steel clip and anti-rolling design all show carefulness and earnestness. Its reverse polarity protection relieves you from worries. The light is so grippy, with deep fine small diamond knurling. The body is anodized black with advanced process. It’s worth mentioning that the 6 petal-shaped stainless steel bottom is not only awsome but also robust.
Lumintop insists on using CREE XM-L T6 LED, which has very nice light color. The light is a good option for many white wall beamshot fans.
The light uses advanced automatic voltage regulator IC and constant current to achieve efficiency of up to 94%. Its stable output ripple effectively reduces production of noise and radiation. All-in-one head makes it possible to have excellent heat dissipation. Later we’ll have specific heat dissipation test.
Dimming system of the light is very special: it is set to Low when turned on by default, and the sequence is Low -> Medium -> High; however, it will be switched to Strobe if you loosen the head a bit and turn on the light, and the sequence is strobe -> Flash (1 second) -> Slow Flash (3 seconds). The dimming system is not so showy, but it is very practical: 4 ~ 460 lumens (super bright) and good runtime. It is equivalent to instant strobe function and slow flash mode; besides, it can cope with the outdoors emergency. If you go out with the light, you’ll find its mode setting is more practical than so-called magnetic ring or stepless dimming.
If you place the light by the bedside, it is activated in Low by default when you turn it on so that it won’t be dazzling or hurt your eyes when you get up at night; when you need High mode outside, then switch it to 460 lumens; if you meet with a dog, you can loosen the head a bit and turn on the light to switch to Strobe; if you are in distress, you can use Slow Flash to send out signals for help.

Obviously, ED 11 is the most bright when compared with E1E and S10.
More Details:
- Stunning bottom is a feature of the light. The bottom is not only nice but also robust.
- Amber coated tempered window with high light transmittance can avoid the purple fringe caused by previous lavendar coating.
- The reflector has excellent workmanship, while LED is wrapped well by the reflector. The hotspot is perfect, and it has no black spot even within 3cm. However, almost all the reflectors of other brands have black spots. ED11 is performing well in this area.
- Its reverse polarity protection avoids the circuit burn out due to incorrect battery installation.
- It has smooth rectangular threads.
- It has fine knurling, thick anodic coating and good grippy feel.
- It supports tailstanding, very convenient.
- Its stainless steel clip is not only nice but also robust.
Hotspot and wonderful color temperature 1A (without color cast) are first choice for many white wall beamshot fans.
Illumination Test (distance: 1m)
Set illuminance meter to *2000
ED11 reported 460lm. According to illuminance measurement, the data showed 292.
S10 reported 320lm. According to illuminance measurement, the data showed 190.
S20 reported 470lm. According to illuminance measurement, the data showed 260.
Temperature & Runtime
22:00 Start. Ambient temperature: 15.8℃
22:05 Head temperature:28.4℃, tail temperature: 23.8℃
22:10 Head temperature: 29.5℃, tail temperature: 24.2℃
22:20 Head temperature: 28.4℃, tail temperature: 26.2℃
22:30 Head temperature: 25℃, tail temperature: 22.6℃
22:40 Head temperature: 20.7℃, tail temperature: 19.7℃
From then on, there was a gradual decrease in temperature. After an hour, the brightness decreased obviously and the light switched off automatically.
This proves that the light has excellent heat dissipation by using all-in-one head design. Heat is transferred from head to body very fast so that difference in temperature is very small.
Remarkably enough, a 17335 600 mAH battery can offers battery life of 1 hour.
Would be great to see some pics and beamshots
