eBay is your friend. So is the CPF Marketplace.

Only to a very minor extent. Shipping to the UK is likely to be more than the cost of the item in many cases. You'll then probably pay import duty and VAT on the combined item + shipping price. As a rule it makes most things very poor value and expensive to buy.
Get a Beta while you still can. The model is being retired. I love the copper one.

Lumintop Tool AAA (this is a V54 mod)
Lumintop and Sofirn are two relatively inexpensive brands that have been very reliable in my experience. And the Prometheus Beta is a great light too.
Just going to toss this out there.... Peak LED Solutions AAA model.
It'll run on any AAA type of battery and is Made in America.

That’s the keychain body, you gotta order the pocket body. Then it will tail stand
There’s 3 types of bodies you can order. Keychain, pocket, and lug.

I still Love this format: :love:
If a warmer color temp LED matters then:
If a warmer color temp LED matters then:
- Thrunite Ti3 at the cheap end
- Prometheus Beta at higher end ( a new one is coming soon). If you have just the pocket clip the Beta will tailstand well. If you have the keychain QR lug you have to pull the lug off to tailstand

The new lumintop silver fox AA/144500 twisty is really nice. Lightweight and it tail stands.
What led does it come with? I think I read it’s an osram but can’t find any temp info

Doesn’t say. It’s cool cct for sure. I’ll put a warmer 219b in it.
I got it on sale for $10.41…it’s a great deal at that price. I sanded off the the words and numbers on it.
I’ll put a suspension pocket clip attached to a split ring on it. I get them for $13 off Etsy
Yeah you honestly can’t beat a duel fuel AA at that price point.
Hey Jonathan,
I have sold most of my collection over the past few years. Just trying to show OP what some options looked like. Only 2 Peaks left; brass Eiger with the obligatory Nichia 219b and QTC and a raw aluminum Eiger Mule high CRI warm.
I have managed to figure out how to get the QTC to function properly for me so it's working well.
Still enjoying the Thrunite that you made for me.
