I am a line
I got a complete set of worm which includes
1 x Worm
1x Key-ring
2x O ring
It packed in a clear simple plastic box with outside Black sleeve.
Design
The whole body just like a worm so that why “Worm”, isn’t that cute
It is matt finish but I like the gloss on the surface very much.
Then Let’s take more close look on the worm. There is a simple design stainless steel clip and looks firm.
I am try to disassembled the clip but it has glue fixed.Then I got the other one without glue and take apart them. The clip inside is very simple too. The clip seems use simple principle of the physical to work (use Different direction of the force ??) . Clever way
And the Glow-in-the-Dark anti –slip ring is removeable
OP reflector and CREE XPG2 R5 LED
Glow-in-the-Dark front O-ring
Compared to AAA Flashlight, from left to right:
Lumintop Copper Tool AAA, Tool Ti, SS worm. Bronte RA01 maratac AAA and Worm. We can see that the worm size is very compact.
UI User Interface
Lumintop Worm UI is very simple. Just twist the head right or left to turn on/off or switch modes.
The default modes is from mid modes and it will cycle from Mid-Low-High, no memory. With silicone ring on head, it is Ok to change modes with one hand now.
Uses 1 x AAA battery
Runtime test on high modes:
I took some photos to show the brightness in actual usage scenarios:
Worm – Low Mode I*SO200 F3.2 1/2secs*
Worm – Mid Mode ISO200 F3.2 1/2secs
Worm – High Mode ISO200 F3.2 1/2secs
Conclusion:
Lumintop 4th Gen Worm is not a bad Choice as a mini keychain light. The brightness can satisfy daily use and size is small & lite weight enough for everyday carry. It differs from man to man regarding the appearance.
