Thank You, I do have 1 of each but they dont have enough room for engraving. I took Franz recomendation and looked at Thrunite, came up with Thrunite Ti5 in Titanium seems to meet all my requirments that and Dqg slim but that is out of stock.
My main issue with multi-mode twisties is that they seem to have a tendency to switch through two modes with one twist, detecting a poor contact as two separate contacts. So you try and cycle it three times to go from off through low and med to end up at high, but end up back at low.
I suspect the lube if it does that. I have to regularly wipe lube off the outer contact ring on the circuit board, and more importantly, the corresponding ring of bare metal on the end of the tube body, to maintain a quality connection.
I just got my Lumintop IYP365 and although it has beautiful appearance and tint, the controls sucks just like the four Lumintop Tools I bought. Not very useable imo. The three Astrolux A01 I have have very white tint (estimate 5700k), but is too cool for me and twisty lights suck. I like the Ultratac K18 the most for AAA but haven’t really found an ideal AAA flashlight yet. I think the Reylight Ti Lan (I don’t own one yet) from its description would be the best eneloop light but is not AAA. I’m hoping there will be a Reylight Ti Lan AAA option with the same clickable operations in the future.
I would also suggest the Lumintop IYP365 brass or Ti. Very classy, Nichia option and better runtime with 2xAAA.
I’m also partial to the Ultratac K18 which can be found in chromed SS and brass, Nichia option too, but i have to admit the UI is not obvious. Not sure about engraving space.
The BLF 348 was a very nice SS one mode AAA light but seems to be discontinued right now.
I disagree regarding twisty lights turning on easily… I EDC a couple ones and never had a problem.
