@MascaratumB thank you for the review!
This looks to be a fun, novel light that admittedly I don't need and rather just "want."
Other than the Lumintop EDC Pico my lights have replaceable cells--if one dies I put in another and keep running (to me that's important). Cells are easily replaceable in the Frog. (That's not happening with another popular small keychain light I was considering, the RovyVon Aurora A23 as it has a pouch cell.)
Another concern is activating the light via putting it on a keychain in my pocket and the keys getting pressed against the switch (people who wear loose clothing don't have that issue I'd guess). I now understand how the RovyVon double-click lockout works, so that would not be an issue. On the Frog it works from ramping mode in either the On or Off position by four rapid clicks, so all good there.
One of the big draws is the swappable tubes--I was able to order three from Lumintop for $35:
- 4K LED (neutral white), charge head
- 10180 tube + battery
- 10440 tube + battery
- AAA (x3) extension tube (use with 10440 tube)
Admittedly battery life is "short," but potentially better than my Lumintop EDC Pico using ramping:
| Pico | 15 lm / 4.75 hr | 130 lm / 0.4 hr | |
| Frog 10180 | 1 lm / 14 hr | 35 lm / 1.4 hr | 175 lm / 0.4 hr |
| Frog 10440 | 1 lm / 58 hr | 40 lm / 3.0 hr | 220 lm / 0.7 hr |
Since it's making a long trip it's going to take a while to get here (especially with the holiday), a much faster option is ordering from www.nealsgadgets.com (which I later discovered).
