Here's a video review of the Lumintop SD10. I got it from Wallbuys for the purpose of reviewing it and modding it. It has a lot of possibilities, which I will discuss later on.

Reviewer's Score?? I give it a Four & 1/2 out of Five.
Pros: Well made, good looking, feels good in the hand, bright, last mode memory, a multitude of battery options: 32560, 26650 (with a sleeve), 18650 (with a sleeve), 3xAA in series, 3xAA in parallel (with a modded holder), 3x14500 or 4x14500 in parallel (with a modded holder), Alkaline D cell. It's possibly the most convertible light out there if one wants to do a few simple mods to it.
Cons: I just don't care for the raised button or the feel of it, that's all I can complain about.
Summary: I love this light. It's lightweight. It feels good in the hand, due to the great knurling. It has plenty of battery options. It has an XM-L2 led, a great reflector and an AR coated lens. It has three main modes and mode memory. Did I sat I love this light?
EDITED
Amp draws:
3xAA - H 1500mA, M 200mA, L 25mA
4XAA - H 1600mA, M 250mA, L 25mA
1x18650 - H 2400mA, M 250mA, L 25mA
I think High is Direct Drive, but then again, that doesn't sound right, since the 18650 was a 10amp Panasonic, so it should have gone higher than 2.4 amps.
Beam shots:
Mouse Over. Mouse Out is the 18650 and Mouse Over is the 4xAA
Mouse Over. Mouse Out is the 18650 and Mouse Over is the 3xAA
Lux @ 1 meter:
18650 - 16200
4xAA - 12500
3xAA - 11600
I do not have a way to measure lumens, but I figured the Lux @ 1 meter would show something.
Thank you Wallbuys for sending me another great light!
