Nice review! Thanks.
(led centering seems not Lumintop’s strongpoint)

Being off center, does it affect throw or brightness much?

not that u notice but a flashlight at this price range should be perfect centered i think. even convoys light i have have better placed leds.

Interesting, never had a lumintop flashlight before. I wonder if their 2000 lumens turbo is real or not? That would be brighter than my V6.

depends how hard the xhp 35 emitter is driven, a little over 2000 is what u can push it out anyways, not even the blf gt or astrolux mf02 or all those that have this emitter goes very much above 2000 lumens.

If it hits 2000, then still about double my UT02 output which is great if it really could do that.

this has 5 year warranty?

5 years free repair (normal use)

BOMBAY · 2018-06-28T20:37:21.000Z

but I have to send for repair to China? if so it’s like I did not have anything because the shipping cost is greater than the cost of a new flashlight.

steel_1024 · 2018-06-29T08:47:22.000Z

I also think so

That will be a problem

But if you can send it

Usually free shipping back

Or it can be handled through local agents

I picked one up. It arrived today. The LED on mine is even more poorly centered than the example here, and unlike my Manker u21, I simply cannot seem to get the head open. I’ve scuffed up the flashlight pretty badly in 2 spots attempting to. They’ve either glued this sucker shut or have a special tool to get it tight. I’m not very happy.

… I’ll add that the turbo mode of the flashlight, with the protected 26650 5500 mAh - does not work. Why is the manufacturer silent about this, and did not immediately write down which batteries to use with a flashlight, protected or not? And he does not want to solve the problem and he does not give advice, he does not answer questions,. The driver of the flashlight is not completely thought out. The rubber cover for the USB cover is also not thought out, it clings to your finger and opens constantly when using a flashlight.

Hello, it’s recommended to use a 22650 battery with a continuous discharge current of 15A, which can maximum the performances of ODL20C.
A battery with 10A discharge current is also usable.
Battery brands with well-reputation should be the first choice.
For safety concern, we strongly recommended using the protected cell to avoid potential reverse polarity connection.
If a reverse connection with unprotective 26650 cells, it will result in a damage ODL20C.
Hope that can help, thanks.

Let’s do it, you tell me specifically what brand of battery to buy me and what capacity and I’ll buy it. And if the flashlight does not work properly with this battery, which you advise me, then this is a marriage of a flashlight and you must change it for me or send at least another working driver. I paid money for the flashlight that should work. But you say that I have bad batteries, but my batteries, with other flashlights work without any problems …
