The flashlight was sent to me by FlashlightBrand for review.
Here's the product's link: Lumintop EDC15 (non-affiliate)

The Lumintop EDC15 comes in a compact cardboard box.
The flashlight along with its accessories are seated into some laser cut foam.
The following accessories are included:
- Lanyard
- Light diffuser
- Carabiner clip
- 2 x replamcent o-rings.
- User manual
The EDC15 is a 14500 / AA keychain light and it comes with a black matte anodization.
The body of the light contains some very nice grooving.
The flashlight is a twisty - it's operated purely by loosing and tightening the head.
As we can see, the lower part of the head contains texturing to increase the grip while twisting it.
Looking at the front of the head, we can see the bezel slightly protruding to protect the lens.
A TIR lens along with an OSRAM GW PUSRA1.PM emitter are housed in the head.
A centering ring is used to ensure that the emitter sits completely in the center of the lens.
One little addition is that the o-ring that sits between the bezel and lens will glow in the dark.
The driver of the flashlight uses a metal tab as the positive terminal.
The head assembly can be easily removed via untwisting the reverse threaded pill with a pair of tweezers.
Here's a closer pic of the LED board.
And here's a side shot of the pill.
As mentioned previously, a rubber light diffuser is also included in the bundle.
The diffuser will also glow in the dark!
The back side of the flashlight is completely flat, which allows it to tailstand.
Very good lubrication can be seen on the threads of the light.
Thanks to the cleanly cut threads, the twisty operation of the light is very smooth.
User Interface
Since the EDC15 is a twisty, its user interface is very straightforward.
Here's all the supported actions:
Turn on/off: Twist clockwise / anti-clockwise.
Mode cycle: Quickly twist anti-clockwise and then clockwise - practically quick turned off/on the light (Low > Mid > High > Turbo > Low > ...)
Strobe: Turn off/on the light for 6 times consecutively
It's worth noting that the flashlight will memorise the last mode used.
Output
Here's my output measurements along with the current draw per each output level.
The tests were performed using an 14500 cell.
As we can see, the Lumintop EDC15 pushes almost 600 OTF lumens.
The output is more than enough for a keychain light.
Mode spacing also looks good.
Wall Beamshots
Finally, here's a wall beamshot GIF to help you understand mode spacing.
Thanks to the TIR lens, the EDC15 produces a very wide beam.
