here you go, CW only atm, 5 left
Lumintop TOOL Ti Titanium AAA Cree XP-G2 R5 Cool White 110lm LED Flashlight

Help...maybe I should just get the VN version first.

not an option, see Re: Lumintop TOOL Ti also see Re: TOOLvn- Best IMR10440 Clicky of 2015 (you posted on that page, but did not read it, same as you did in the present thread). Please read threads you post in, so you dont ask questions that have already been answered.

I keep a Leatherman skeletool cx on the pocket with a nebo and a Maratac Ti on the key chain. Sometimes a CRKT M-16 but usually the Leatherman. And of course my xds in .45. Can't bring a knife to a gun fight. I see a lot of people talk about what they edc but no firearm. Country permitting I would think a lot more of you would sound off on your sidearm of choice with edc. Unless talking about them is forbidden here then I'll keep it to myself. ��
 
Not forbidden, Mountain. Let's keep the discussion about the Lumintop Titanium Tool, though. Thanks! :)
 
Well mine says it was processed through the sort facility in Hong Kong yesterday so who knows how much longer. Hence the edc discussion as I will be replacing the Maratac with the lumitop.

This is the most exciting flashlight purchase I've made in a long time. It could turn out to be rubbish in reality, but on the face of it, there's very little not to like.

It could def turn out to be rubbish, the price we pay to be flashlight junkies .... I highly doubt that will be the case though, I hope you enjoy your new light mate.

got the CW, not a fan of the Nichia

Cool :-)
Since its not for the Nichia, Im curious what features the Tool has, that the Maratac lacks, for your application preference.. is it the clickie? or...

specs:
Maratac Ti 16 grams, 2.6" long, 138 lumen high
Lumintop Ti 22 grams 2.9" long, 110 lumen high

the tool is 27% heavier, and 12% longer, than the Maratac,
and the Maratac has 25% more lumens than the Tool.

These are some of the features I like better about the Titanium Tool than the Maratac:
imo the TiTool has a better keyring attachment point than the Maratac
and the TiTool clickie is easier to operate one handed than the twisty Maratac
and titanium makes for gritty threads in a twisty, I think a clickie is a better application for Titanium
(Im new, Im not sure I like clickies yet)

Im waiting for a Copper Tool with the new clickie, I hope by then others will have shared their impressions of the button. I dont love the button on my Copper Tool, I prefer to Twist my copper Maratac, whose threads are like melted butter (I doubt anyone who has tried both, would say that about the Titanium Maratac threads)

anyway, just making conversation, Im sure the Titanium Tool will be a great addition to anyones kit, and I too prefer the CW LED for some applications, I used one today to look at things under my car.. the Nichia is a bit dim for that application.. enjoy your new TiTool.. share pictures :-)

here btw is the difference in the color of Tandoori Chicken with a CW Maratac on left, and NW Nichia tool on right :-) (I love the nichia, though I really did not need a flashlight at the restaurant.. purely entertainment)

6000k 70 CRI left, 4000k 90 CRI right.. Tandoori Chicken in purple or red tint: (I dont eat much purple food, prefer the red on right… though both are actually the same color, under the same light, or taste the same if I close my eyes, lol)

nice examples, yes, the chicken was confused due to overplapping spills from both LEDs.. I need to come up with a barrier so I can shoot both LEDs simultaneously, because I use an iPhone with auto white balance.. I cant set a consistent daylight if I shoot one led after the other.. ymmv

I appreciate your posts :-)
 
Re: Lumintop TOOL Ti

It has arrived. Nice build quality and N219 tint, OK beam. You do have to turn it off to change mode, kind of annoying but you get a hang of it quite quickly. I also find it OK with the M-L-H sequence.

Congratulations!:-)
Do you have the rubber clickie switch version of the Tool also, to compare and contrast the switches?

Im guessing the TiTool switch only clicks once, whereas the other Tool versions click on the way down, and again on the way up, twice as noisy.. I agree Medium first is very convenient, no need to click through Low first to get useable light for many uses. And in theory you could hand someone the light, and they wont be as confused..

btw, I have a friend that has owned a Maratac for years, he just found out, from me, that it has 3 modes! (also MLH) True story!

Im tempted by the TiTool switch because it allows tailstanding, unlike the earlier Tool's rubber clickie..

thanks for the photo too btw, enjoy!

Congratulations on your new light!
I don't know where mine is...
The tracking number is not up to date
It keeps saying "Processed thru ISC sort facility Los Angeles' and it hasn't changed since 2/12. Weird.
