Looks promising - Nichia 219C available in 3 body colors.
No Li-Ion support and Mid-Low-High order aren’t ideal.
The name is clever, the IYP365 was for “In Your Pocket 365 days a year”, I guess this one is to keep 7 days a week
It’s cute, but the one I want to see happen (and I’m sure it will, we saw the teasers) is the Tool 2*AA
But will it replace the timeless classic Tool?
I don’t care about 10440 and the M-L-H distribution without memory makes my Tool punch far above its weight. This is perfectly fine for me
I’m looking forward to that one too - if they offer a Nichia option it’ll be the only high CRI 2*AA light on the market.
This one looks like a nice dressy upgrade from the BLF-348.
The M-L-H on the IYP365 is ideal
And it is another pink flashight!
I prefer lights to come on in low for EDC, but I understand why people using this as a work light would prefer that mode order. It’s definitely not a deal breaker.
The original 2 X AAA is much better. They should have release a single AA version instead!
That seems like a bit of an obtuse statement. the 2*AAA is different, just like 1*AA would be. There’s obviously a market for all of these form factors, and I’m glad to see a known brand put out a single AAA with a decent emitter and driver.
Which emitter is more desirable? The XP-G3 or 219C.
219C.
Took them a while to get a single AAA version (I have the IYP365). May be a buy for me but have several single AAA’s already.
Well, you could either call it a cut down IYP365 or a Tool in a fancy dress :D .
Too bad it has the MLH mode order :( .
Short tube version of iyp365
for me M-L-H is perfect for me, not too low so i have to click 2 times, not too high to burn my retina
No Li-ion support, no interest.
Eww, eww, eww. No G3. Ugly tint-shift.
I’d like a 219B, but that’s just me.
And I’d like a pet dodo!
No you wouldn’t. They crap all over the place.
shame no 10440 support… its fun to use that on my i3t and get over 300 lumens or so
No 10440 support for the copper Tool, butt that’s all I’ve used in 4 of them with no problems at all.
