Got Lumintop Worm today :) (took 2 weeks). Thought it will be a little bit smaller, but it's small enough.

What can I say? 2 modes, CC (i.e. no PWM), SMO (instead of LOP, as shown in selfbuilts review, so "normal" artifacts are slightly visible). LO mode is very usable (14 lm if I remember well), so no need 1 extra turn :) (low-low, about 2-3 lm, is too low for me). And HI... man, I'm quite impressed :D It's even brighter than I thought it would be. It's quite difficult to rotate the head with one hand, but no prob, it will not turn on accidentally. (I lubbed threads previously). Machining is very nice. The only "bad thing" was the front/lens o-ring. It was slightly out. Will try to put it right later. In short, nice light for $17 I paid.

UPDATE: I can also see veeeery small donut hole or something like that (because of the SMO I think). The tint, btw, is very nice, almost pure white on veeery slightly warm side :P

Hi SashiX, congrats to your Worm! Sorry to hear about the lens o-ring (limóng onó¿). SMO reflector? Wanna share some pix?

let's validate the integrity of your emitter (XR-E, XP-E, R2, R3, ..)

I've measured Eneloop runtimes, see OP.
