Since watching this video I have purchased 7 of these lights for friends and family. Just sent another. There may be newer models but I love this light.
I’ve had this for 3 years on my keychain and it’s still hasn’t failed me yet. It is the best keychain flashlight out there. I’ve dropped it numerous times and it has gotten wet a lot the black has worn out in spots from running against keys and it keeps working 100%. The 5 lumen setting is perfect for when you want to light up in a dark house or room without disturbing others and the bright is pretty bright will light up a whole room. It will also blind someone if shined in the eyes so you can use it for tactical purposes if need be.
Have owned a Tool AAA since 12/2015 and it has been a great light. One problem is that the tail switch rubber has split after about two and a half years of use. It still works and I am still using it. The rubber is still there...just split now.
AAAAhhhh it has the rear clicky! That is the one thing I never liked about keychain flashlights is they all seem to have the twist bezel. Thanks for the review!
I've had one for over a year, and I love it. They also run on lithium 10440s quite happily BTW, but the high mode gets hot fast. Big improvement in brightness on Medium though, without too much heat. I find it really well made and pleasing to use, and you can lock it off by twisting the barrel, so it's the best of both worlds. I also have the Ti3 which I prefer for keychain duties as it's a bit smaller, but the Lumintop is my favourite as I prefer a clicky switch for one-handed head torch use.
Was looking for a new flashlight for my key chain, this video was first on the search results list. Watched the video, bought the flashlight. Good job man ! +1 sub.
Ben thanks to you I now own this sweet little flashlight, I was amazed how bright this thing is and I love it. thanks for the awesome reviews, keep them coming bro. I also got the gerber strongarm and 3v gear posse pack all because of your reviews, thanks again bud.
The Lumintop Tool AAA has been my EDC flashlight for at least two years now: small, robust, uses a battery that can be found in most convenience stores, can be clipped to the brim of a hat, has several brightness settings, has a tail swotch, and waterproof. I have tried countless flashlights in the past, but this is the best I have tried so far.
Will it handle a rechargeable 10440 3.7 volt battery? I recently decided to risk it and see if a few of my AAA lights will handle it without blowing, even though they were only advertised to be compatible with regular 1.5 volt batteries. So far I've been brave enough to test 3 different brands with a fully charged EBL INR 10440 (350mAh) and they all shine so much brighter, without getting too warm. I highly recommend EBL INR batteries
I lost my Fenix e05 i bought in 2012 and i was looking for a nice clicky AAA to replace it and after so much searching i was still so unsure what to buy but then i found this review. This is exactly what i was looking for. thanks so much.
Funny on October 8th 2015 I bought the Thrunite Ti3 after I watched your video. Now three years later I searched youtube for Lumintop Tool AAA and just bought it after watching this video right here :D
Ben, my man, I just pulled the trigger on one of these (it was on a SUPER sale). I'll keep you posted on my experiences, if you care to hear about them.
Maybe some type of bag for tomorrow. I received my anger power pack. That thing is awesome! I did some testing of my own and was able to go two days without plugging into the wall. Only using the anger. Normally I have to plug in about three times a day. Thank you so much and I can't recommend anger products enough. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks Ben... I've never seen this one reviewed. Good one... I thought the package would be a sterling silver something or other for your great wife... Boy did you fool me!!! Great review, but you are not going to convince me without a Ti-3 vs Lumitop AAA comparison video... you know how that goes. "Once you open a can of worms...". Please consider. You are great at reviewing gear... a comparison video would be very appreciated by many, I'm sure. I just got two Ti-3s for my son and son-in-law (X-mas). I still have a daughter who is EDC and outdoorsy minded... maybe she would find this a useful tool. Thanks Ben for the time you spend on reviewing gear for the rest of us. Believe this Michigan weather, Bro?
+Alan Williams this weather is crazy. the reason I didn't compare was I gave away the ti3 if that tells you anything. haha. they are both great lights.
I love my thrunite archer 1A-V2 single AA flashlight at 180 lumen. But always wondered why they never made a archer single AAA version. this is a neat flashlight and definitely fills a nitch. Good review and iam a fan of the tail clicky button:) NOW iam going to have to buy this LOL

Nice little flashlight. I'm looking for a good edc during my deployment and I was leaning towards the Olight S1 Baton series. Would you recommend this or that one? Or does something else stand out. I'll be working at night so a moonlight mode would nice and I like the idea is the magnetic bottom to use.
+William Whittle the magnatic is actually sort of a pain and I only use it around the house (stuck to the fridge). Decide on the size/ battery and light output you want and then get back to me. Take a look at Nitecore for a good EDC. Don't get me wrong this one is awesome and i Carry it in my pocket daily but it isn't that bright.
You're right, Ben, for a keychain light it does better work than the Ti3. I can certainly acknowledge that the glowy bezel, the chicky switch interchangeable with the non-clicky tailcap, and the optional magnetic end add groundbreaking versatility. I can sure tell that the Tool is a straight upgrade to the Olight i3S series, maybe even the i3E. However, for me, this light doesn't have the Ti3 beat at all. My use of the Ti3 is not as a keychain item, but almost exclusively as an emergency backup torch, and in that sense, long runtimes are vital... and the Ti3's firefly dominates that field without a true contestant. Plus, I haven't seen enough reviews on Lumintop torches to truly believe their stated runtimes; high and low are reasonable, but a multi-mode flashlight with a medium mode of 20-something lumens for 10 hours is in line with 1xCR123 lights of the present day, not 1xAAA ones. Bit hard to take those numbers to heart without a grain of salt. In a similar note, the backup torch is a light that I'm most likely to pull out in pitch darkness while stressed out over more than having lost or burned through my primary light, so it's good that it's a continuous ramp up instead of rollercoaster-like as this Tool does. Don't want to dazzle myself on accident because I forgot to hit the activation method twice. Plus, the Ti3's firefly mode is so comfortable to read with :-3 I do believe these two are equal, on the other hand, and MANY people will be supremely satisfied with this one, especially the common and conventional ones that need no more than keychain lights as their primary on-body light sources, a bill that I happen to not fit for unpleasant reasons. Any chance of a comparison video between these two mini-monsters, Ben?
+Gunner193 thanks so much for the comment, the ti3 is a great light for sure and everything you said makes sense. I gave my ti3 away so I will have to get another for a comparison. probably will wait until fenix/nitecore/olight all come out with their new stuff and then we can compare ;)
looks like they have a good product here. however, i think thrunite has superior engineering with the "firefly" modes they include now. to me, that ultra-low mode is a necessity now. i still might get one of these though, especially since i see it is available in copper.
I personally think Rovyvon makes the best keychain flashlight. They put out 550 lm and is a perfect size for your keychain. Check them out for yourself.
+Living Survival Speaking of knives, any chance of giving the SCHF43 a second try now that PM101 explained the way to use it without crushing your pinky finger, which was your main complain in your Gauntlet review?
There's No Way To Keep It On High Mode?? I Thinking Of Buying One, Use It As My Automotive Flashlight & Keep In My Uniform Shirt Pocket.. I Like It, It Looks Perfect.. I Have One Of Those Streamlight 2 AAA Flashlight, Its To Long For My Pocket & Little To Heavy Too..Lol!
+Ekster Vogel theres only a 10 lumen difference between the two. the ti3 also has a strobe (although its not quickly accesable) and the ti3 has a dimmer firefly mode. ive never had the light in this vid, but it looks great. its really just a persomal preference imo
+Lellobeetle [gasp] The rare endangered female flashaholic has appeared! And she has the very same conjugal problems as her ubiquitous male counterpart! lol :-P
+Lellobeetle this lumintop looks better than the ti5 to me personally. i have the ti3 and ti4 and was looking at the ti5 but i think id rather have this lumintop. i have a microstream and a surefire titan plus as well
+TechysTechTalk It is just as durable as anything else I have carried on my keys. I like it more than anything from Nitecore, Fenix, Olight or ThruNite. Remember when you carry something on your keys it will take a lot more abuse than in your pocket. I still carry the DQG light i reviewed a few weeks ago on my keys but this is now in my pocket daily because it is smaller than my chapstick or lighter in the same pocket. For EDC use I don't need anything brighter than 100+ lumens. I have other lights in my packs for that.
Argh!!! I'm torn... clicky or magnet, that is the ? I just ordered this thanks to this video. Although I don't normally like twist operation, I think magnet base is more practical for me, especially on a keychain edc light since it will be exposed to more situations where it needs to be multifunctional. Clickys don't really improve usability options whereas a magnet base does. It's still subjective I guess.
+Living Survival It just showed up last night. It was probably sitting on my doorstep when I wrote my comment above. I'm starting to agree... the magnet is a boo/hiss! Mine doesn't seem to have the 5 sec memory,
I just go a box with flashlight, keychain and two o rings. Cost from Amazon $19.95. Could not find anyone selling magnetic end cap only. Amazon has light with mag cap at $18.95. No case with mine. Thanks anyway.
I like it. I just put it in the cart on amazon. Nice review. Thrunite has littered youtube with so many video reviews I just about puke when I see their name. I was going to buy a ti3 but I'm so put off by the overwhelming barage of videos I don't want to give them my money.
It's a nice flashlight, but again, in this day and age, it should be rechargeable in my opinion. Being rechargeable should be as standard as LED bulbs are now. You never see a new flashlight without an LED bulb, so why would they make one so you can not recharge it? I'm sure most would rather see that feature rather than a magnetic tail cap. I mean if it's on your key chain, that means you're never far from a USB port, either at work or home. Keep up the great work.
If it fed on Li-ion 10440's exclusively, I'd agree. But the most common AAA batteries are primary alkaleaks and lithiums that you just discard when spent, or rechargeable NiMHs that are notoriously complicated to design in-light charging for, especially when single-cell. And as Ben said, it would jack up the price.
+Gunner193 That's why I want some thing that's rechargeable.....I hate buying and throwing away batteries. While I'm not a tree hugger, I do believe in not being wasteful if there's some thing out there that can be reused. Plus, as cheap as electronics have become, I find it hard to believe it would jack up the price that much, but what do I know. It's just my opinion as to what I look for when buying any flashlight or anything like that. I even have a 3,000 watt wind generator on an 84 foot tower, and almost 4kw in solar power, and almost 60kwh in a battery bank hooked to a Trace power panel with two SW5548 inverters, so I really do get into recharging and reusing whenever I can. I am replacing the current batteries with Nickel Iron batteries and I will never have to replace batteries again as they will last 50 years or more. They have nickel iron batteries that are over 100 years old and still going as strong as the day they were made. We don't need to keep throwing things out is all I'm saying, and especial things like batteries. Yes you can recycle them, but who REALLY does that? I mean the recycle center is 10 miles away and your trash can is 10 FEET away........where do you think they will end up?
wjf213 I do make the effort to recycle my stuff, it's just a nice thing to do. Ain't like putting spent batteries in a bottle and save it for when I happen to pass by a place with a battery disposal urn is an effort. Not that it's common for me to have to do it since I moved on to employing _only_ rechargeables; only once in a blue moondoes the odd alkaleak inside a trinket pop up and make me open that disposal bottle. The electronics are indeed cheap, but the manpower capable of implementing it is not. And for whatever reason, it's still a mystery to the world why making a non-cradle charger for NiMH batteries is so complicated that no manufacturer ever tries to make one. [shrug] You'd have to ask someone graduated in electrical engineering for a concrete answer.
YUP, gonna buy this. dammit man! i have the thrunite ti3 and ti4, a microstream, and the surefire titan plus........so i didnt want a ti5. I WANT THIS lumintop. that seems to be what ive been looking for, and 20 bucks? sold!
+Living Survival i watched that, with the s1 baton as well! great combo. i have the s10r. i carry it when i go out, great light. thrunite tn12 when im working or need more power/runtime then ill keep the s10r by the door stuck to the microwave so when i smoke or come in the house i know where its at. love the magnet
+Living Survival I am referring to the part you say about when it is on high, you turn it off then immediately turn in on, it will be back on high. (at 3:10) And from your video, it does looks so. But mine, when i do that, it goes to the next mode (low). Weird ...

I am definitely a big fan of this AAA light. Great review
thanks Dean O.
Love the feature and simplicity
+pongskarn wangvittayarat me too, use it daily.
some websites say that the medium mode lasts 4 hours! so is it 10 or 4??
Damn this thing has even better specs than the Fenix E05. Will get one. Thanks for the review Ben!
+kwerner thanks for watching.
Definitely good as a keychain flashlight. Thanks!
Definitely on my to get list! Good review as usual
+Cole Constantinoff thx Cole.
I just ordered two as stocking stuffers, thanks!

A LOT of features and 1 AAA is a good thing ! I think the next gift is a family sized tent .
+PREPFORIT could be :)
Sweet little light! Need one!
+Rhi McKeon sweet indeed.

I finally got one! Haha with the limited information I have to go with a backpack. I like this series
+Brennan Jones nice...and good guess!
I have to get this!!!
+gideonstactical DO IT
looks like you could swap the body for a AA body?
Hey, thank you for the review. Question: if you have the clicky tail cap, can you still use use the twist if you wanted to?
+Fernando UNGARO yes.
Good review. Maybe I missed it but one thing I didn't see in the video: How do you attach it to your key ring? Does it come with something in the box?
+Randall Fox yes.
Nice little flashlight. I'm looking for a good edc during my deployment and I was leaning towards the Olight S1 Baton series. Would you recommend this or that one? Or does something else stand out. I'll be working at night so a moonlight mode would nice and I like the idea is the magnetic bottom to use.
+William Whittle the magnatic is actually sort of a pain and I only use it around the house (stuck to the fridge). Decide on the size/ battery and light output you want and then get back to me.

Now I feel the need to buy another pocket flashlight. Thanks.
Tomorrow is a backpack
+sameold77 Haha me too! If Santa doesn't bring it I'm buying it the day after Christmas lol
+Country Prepper haha
Thanks for posting.. I need one...
+hamygray go i still pocket carry it daily.
Just got the Thrunite Ti3 for Christmas, great flashlight. But this one seems to up one it.
+Jason McDaniel great light as well.
Great review I'm defiantly getting one of these :) I wonder though do they sell replacement click button rubber? I couldn't find it :/
+Lalalunatic hmm...maybe not.
Can you buy this at a store or just online ???
Bought 4 of these for Christmas but none came with the extra magnetic tail cap. Is that an optional extra?
+Ronald Brodt could be, it came with mine.
great video! I think tomorrows gift will be a backpack from condor, maxpedition, direct action, or 511.
+BHD Survival good guess.
You're right, Ben, for a keychain light it does better work than the Ti3.

Any chance of a comparison video between these two mini-monsters, Ben?
The big present package seems a lot to me like a sleeping bag or a tent, something bulky that can't be safely folded down to super-compack sizes.
+Gunner193 thanks so much for the comment, the ti3 is a great light for sure and everything you said makes sense. I gave my ti3 away so I will have to get another for a comparison. probably will wait until fenix/nitecore/olight all come out with their new stuff and then we can compare ;)
+Living Survival
All right! :D
Sweet little light man. Who wraps all your presents I bet your wife does. Happy holidays Ben and family!
+onpoint1977 that would be me. each and every one.
+Living Survival great job my friend!!
Just checked out your channel. I like your content. Just subbed. Excellent presentations
+Mike Bledsoe thanks Mike.
Cool light bro may just get one
+DpKxREVO DO IT!
looks like they have a good product here. however, i think thrunite has superior engineering with the "firefly" modes they include now. to me, that ultra-low mode is a necessity now. i still might get one of these though, especially since i see it is available in copper.
+Dexter Charles i rarely use the ultra low. anything below 100 lumens works well at night for me except in a bedroom or something but works anyway.
Does this light turn on if you have the clicky installed & you rotate?
Yes it does.
Cool.
+Survival On Purpose thx b
What would be your preference between lumintop and the olight S1
+hamygray go lumintop
back back or tent
how do you put it on a keychain. is there a keychain loop thingy
yes
Crap! I just bought a Fenix E05 AND a Ti3 but I like that Lumintop better! I'm diggin' the tail switch. Hope my wife doesn't get too mad at me!
+sevenrayz can't ever have too many lights.
I personally think Rovyvon makes the best keychain flashlight. They put out 550 lm and is a perfect size for your keychain. Check them out for yourself.
This light has memory, it will stay in the last mode you were in. It does not always start in medium as stated in this video.
How does the button work with the magnetic tailcap?
it is either or.
I want this!!!
+youtoobloser DO IT!
Reminds me of the thorfire tgo6
What survival/bushcraft knife do you reccomend?
+Matts Games Look at my previous video on the LT Wright GNS.
+Living Survival
Speaking of knives, any chance of giving the SCHF43 a second try now that PM101 explained the way to use it without crushing your pinky finger, which was your main complain in your Gauntlet review?
Nice little light but I still prefer the operation of the Ti3,....the magnet is a nice option though.
+Steve Clark ti3 is a great light as well.
There's No Way To Keep It On High Mode?? I Thinking Of Buying One, Use It As My Automotive Flashlight & Keep In My Uniform Shirt Pocket.. I Like It, It Looks Perfect.. I Have One Of Those Streamlight 2 AAA Flashlight, Its To Long For My Pocket & Little To Heavy Too..Lol!
Grab a Tool AA, it has mode memory and better runtimes.
My Tool AAA stays on high mode. Why would you think it doesn't?
What is that knife at 5:09?
Problem is just wait another 6 months and things will get even better!
Seems like a pretty legit keychain flashlight
+richOtyrant thanks for watching.
where did you find the run times i don't have the same
Me neither, mine are 36h/4h/30min. This seems to be an early run sample.
Great light/price, Thanks
+rls303 Agreed.
They looked at the Ti3 and made everything better!
Only less bright right?
+Ekster Vogel theres only a 10 lumen difference between the two. the ti3 also has a strobe (although its not quickly accesable) and the ti3 has a dimmer firefly mode. ive never had the light in this vid, but it looks great. its really just a persomal preference imo
Pls do some beamshot with it through the woods
Can I use regular AA battery without loosing brightness? By the way, I just subscribed 😃
Not alkaleaks.
Sky lumans makes this very same light Upgraded with 750 lumans ,, And extra heat sink
guys dont attempt anything in this video... opening a present can even be dangerious or deadly too
Thanks for the advice. I almost opened up my birthday gift not knowing it's extremely dangerous and possibly deadly to do so. You just saved my life.
If I buy yet another flashlight I'm going to be evicted by my husband. lol great light, Ben.
+Lellobeetle HAHA
+Lellobeetle
[gasp] The rare endangered female flashaholic has appeared! And she has the very same conjugal problems as her ubiquitous male counterpart!
lol :-P
Gunner193 For real. I have the Ti5 and this one on my list! Take care, my friend.
Lellobeetle Likewise!
+Lellobeetle this lumintop looks better than the ti5 to me personally. i have the ti3 and ti4 and was looking at the ti5 but i think id rather have this lumintop. i have a microstream and a surefire titan plus as well
is this better than the ultratac k18 2017
i like the tail switch better than the side switch.
Give me your honest opinion, how long do you think it would last using it as an edc? Because ill buy it.
+TechysTechTalk It is just as durable as anything else I have carried on my keys. I like it more than anything from Nitecore, Fenix, Olight or ThruNite. Remember when you carry something on your keys it will take a lot more abuse than in your pocket.

For EDC use I don't need anything brighter than 100+ lumens. I have other lights in my packs for that.
+Living Survival Alright thanks, now I got something on my Christmas list
+Living Survival Also have another question, I need to buy a watch and my budget is 50-100, thanks
TechysTechTalk Haven't reviewed a lot of watches but people like the Casios.
Is it supposed to come with both tailcaps ? I don't have magnetic cap !
+BENNY AVILES did you order the one with both tailcaps?
ordered it under your link
BENNY AVILES Right and under the link there is 5 options..copper, clicky, magnetic or both for $21.
Didn't see that but regardless I love the light and thanks for the Great Review !
Argh!!! I'm torn... clicky or magnet, that is the ? I just ordered this thanks to this video. Although I don't normally like twist operation, I think magnet base is more practical for me, especially on a keychain edc light since it will be exposed to more situations where it needs to be multifunctional. Clickys don't really improve usability options whereas a magnet base does. It's still subjective I guess.
+guitartec i hate the magnet, it sticks to everything.
+Living Survival It just showed up last night. It was probably sitting on my doorstep when I wrote my comment above. I'm starting to agree... the magnet is a boo/hiss! Mine doesn't seem to have the 5 sec memory,
But the thrunite has like 400 lumens right?
+Ekster Vogel 120 lumens.
Can it work on a rechargeable aaa ?
Yes, it can.
does it comes with a rechargeable battery
Nope, you gotta provide those yourself.
How about this one? HUGSBY XP-1
Jakes_Tornado hi . I have 2 hugsby. . the are bright. . but the are not last more then 2 -3 weeks . pour quality
Nice light. Only thing I would like to add would be to be USB rechargeable.
+Rangersly that would be nice for sure.
+Rangersly guess options are always good but that would likely push up that 19.95 price tag quite considerably
I just go a box with flashlight, keychain and two o rings. Cost from Amazon $19.95. Could not find anyone selling magnetic end cap only. Amazon has light with mag cap at $18.95. No case with mine. Thanks anyway.
60 hours on the low setting??
I'm pretty sure it's 36 hours on low, 4 hours on mid, and 30 mins on high.
I like it. I just put it in the cart on amazon. Nice review.
Thrunite has littered youtube with so many video reviews I just about puke when I see their name. I was going to buy a ti3 but I'm so put off by the overwhelming barage of videos I don't want to give them my money.
+MNgunhead you will enjoy this one more.
I waiting tell they come out with a plastic one.
that think is pretty strong for it's size
+theravinglunatic470 yeah, about the same run times as comparable lights.
Please, add titles with the technical parameters. Said and written is better than only said.
Wow
The Big package is a outdoor cook set:) that's my guess:)
+40belowful good guess :)
now if I only can win the mega bucks lottery:)
Found button lite and magnet on Amazon butnot one with both.
+Ronald Brodt mine had both, the case it came in has the slot for the other tail cap.
It has the same pocket clip as the Maratac AAAs
+Aaron 2 Nasty didn't know that.
It's a nice flashlight, but again, in this day and age, it should be rechargeable in my opinion. Being rechargeable should be as standard as LED bulbs are now. You never see a new flashlight without an LED bulb, so why would they make one so you can not recharge it? I'm sure most would rather see that feature rather than a magnetic tail cap. I mean if it's on your key chain, that means you're never far from a USB port, either at work or home. Keep up the great work.
+wjf213 I agree with harder to get batteries but this is AAA and always good to carry one of those. Would jack up the price as well.
If it fed on Li-ion 10440's exclusively, I'd agree. But the most common AAA batteries are primary alkaleaks and lithiums that you just discard when spent, or rechargeable NiMHs that are notoriously complicated to design in-light charging for, especially when single-cell.
And as Ben said, it would jack up the price.
+Gunner193 That's why I want some thing that's rechargeable.....I hate buying and throwing away batteries. While I'm not a tree hugger, I do believe in not being wasteful if there's some thing out there that can be reused. Plus, as cheap as electronics have become, I find it hard to believe it would jack up the price that much, but what do I know. It's just my opinion as to what I look for when buying any flashlight or anything like that. I even have a 3,000 watt wind generator on an 84 foot tower, and almost 4kw in solar power, and almost 60kwh in a battery bank hooked to a Trace power panel with two SW5548 inverters, so I really do get into recharging and reusing whenever I can. I am replacing the current batteries with Nickel Iron batteries and I will never have to replace batteries again as they will last 50 years or more. They have nickel iron batteries that are over 100 years old and still going as strong as the day they were made. We don't need to keep throwing things out is all I'm saying, and especial things like batteries. Yes you can recycle them, but who REALLY does that? I mean the recycle center is 10 miles away and your trash can is 10 FEET away........where do you think they will end up?
wjf213 Agreed and more power to you for sure! keep up the good work.
wjf213 I do make the effort to recycle my stuff, it's just a nice thing to do. Ain't like putting spent batteries in a bottle and save it for when I happen to pass by a place with a battery disposal urn is an effort. Not that it's common for me to have to do it since I moved on to employing _only_ rechargeables; only once in a blue moondoes the odd alkaleak inside a trinket pop up and make me open that disposal bottle.
The electronics are indeed cheap, but the manpower capable of implementing it is not. And for whatever reason, it's still a mystery to the world why making a non-cradle charger for NiMH batteries is so complicated that no manufacturer ever tries to make one. [shrug] You'd have to ask someone graduated in electrical engineering for a concrete answer.
YUP, gonna buy this. dammit man! i have the thrunite ti3 and ti4, a microstream, and the surefire titan plus........so i didnt want a ti5. I WANT THIS lumintop. that seems to be what ive been looking for, and 20 bucks? sold!
+jacob manalang yeah, great little light. my new edc vid has it in it as well.
+Living Survival i watched that, with the s1 baton as well! great combo. i have the s10r. i carry it when i go out, great light. thrunite tn12 when im working or need more power/runtime then ill keep the s10r by the door stuck to the microwave so when i smoke or come in the house i know where its at. love the magnet
+Living Survival i didnt realize it has a reverse clicky switch. either way still love it!
Weird. Mine don't have the memory function. When you off it and on it, it will just go to the next light mode. Not as what you have.
But, after a few sec when i off it, it will become mid mode when i on it.
+Enzorox it goes to mid mode when you turn it on.
+Living Survival I am referring to the part you say about when it is on high, you turn it off then immediately turn in on, it will be back on high. (at 3:10)
And from your video, it does looks so. But mine, when i do that, it goes to the next mode (low). Weird ...
Enzorox I was probably wrong. It happens.
so when they say dont use a 10440 in it, DONT. i did, and yeah its like 3x brighter but it will only run on 10440's now.
+jacob manalang lol
when you use the twist on off mode, the clip will scratch the head.
Twist the tail.
