I recieved the (partially) broken Lumintop Tiger I bought for cheap on an online (Dutch) second hand marketplace. Originally it was being sold for around $ 400,- (3 to 4 years ago), but the official/initial MSRP even was above $ 500,- I believe. I paid ~ $ 42,- (including shipping) for what is (according to the seller) a partially working flashlight, only with the center XHP70.3 HI LED being burned.
I haven’t done a proper inspection yet, but I did notice a minor, but fixable, other issue. I will post more about this flashlight in a topic I’m planning to make about, given that there is so little information to be found about this light, here on BLF and on the rest of the internet. (For some reason I did not know about the existence of this light; for some reason I must have totally missed it!)
Here some photos of this light:
The photo above shows a size comparison with some popular/well known lights and as you can see it’s a ‘chunky boy’!
I did weigh it and it came in at ~ 1.460 grams, without batteries. (I takes 4 21700 batteries.)
Here a shot from above, comparing the 7 XHP70.2 and 1 (burned) XHP70.3 HI, with the 6 XHP50B from the Q8 Plus.
Lumintop claimed 58.000 lumen from the Tiger, but that was (very) probably ‘too optimistic’. I haven’t been able to find any reliable output test/numbers, but in some discussions I found on Reddit, the estimated it to be 35.000 to (maybe) 40.000.
Below a slightly better photo of what should be the main issue with the light; the burned out XHP70.3 HI that needs to be replaced.
Below shows the charging solution build in underneath the tailcap. There is a display that lights up that shows charging percentage and voltage/amps. As far as I could tell it supports 100w bi-directional fast charging, so it also functions as a powerbank.
That’s it for now! I already noticed a few ‘interesting things’ about this (specific) light, but those will be adressed in a seperate topic, as soon as I’ve got the time to start on this ‘project’!
