LUMINTOPEDC01 Keychain Flashlight 120 lumens Pocket EDC Flashlights 36 Hours IPX8 Waterproof

This is an absolutely fantastic keychain flashlight. I used to have one of those little cheapie ones that you would have to squeeze the button down and hold it, which was fine if you needed to see something that was right in front of your face. I wanted something with a little more Power, but wasn’t huge or overly heavy. This fits the bill perfectly. It is a no frills, lightweight yet very durable twist style keychain light. I find that it has a decent throw of several feet and is quite bright and will easily illuminate small areas. I primarily use this at night time when going to my car after work as apparently our job does not believe in replacing the lightbulbs in the lights in the parking lot. This is also come in handy for just every day jobs such as trying to locate items in my vehicle that inevitably become stuck between the seat in the center console. It takes a single AAA battery, which for me is fine as this is not one that I use for extended periods of time. I have several other flashlights that I use for those tasks where I need more light or need one that’s gonna last longer and in those cases, I use a rechargeable unit. I actually have two other flashlights from this brand in larger sizes that are also wonderful. if you just need a small pocket, friendly or keychain, friendly flashlight you can’t go wrong with this one. It’s lightweight, and throws a decent amount of light won’t break the bank. The interface is very simple as it’s just a simple twist.

I have a few Olights including the i3r that runs on a single AAA I recently lost. That was a great light, but I thought I would try this Lumentop. Never had a lumintop.This light is great! Slightly longer than the Olight, but not much bigger than a AA battery. Quite a bit smaller than the i5t in the photo but that takes a bigger battery. This one has a durable high quality feel like the olight but has the benefit of 3 light modes. Now high isn’t crazy bright, but quite bright for a single AAA powering it. The flat end lets it tailstand and it included the diffuser which was nice.Other cool thing is the lens glows for a while after running the light! So does the diffuser.Got this on sale for $10 and that’s a steal. Even $15 is a fair price for this in comparison to other lights like Olight, Wurkkos, Sofirn, and Streamlight.

So this is an update from a previous review where all I did was gush about this little light. Not gushing much these days. So, it's a good little light, tough as nails, always works. I used to always keep a mini Maglight on my keychain, now, it the Lumintop. And I've been very happy with it. But, there is a new kid on the block, but it ain't cheap. Nitecore Tini3, like $40 bucks. It's actually on an opening sale for 30, on their website. Get it before the tariffs kick in. 600lm, 4 brightness, smaller than a mini-can of altoids, dual bulbs, 3 different CRI ratings, rechargeable. tuff.

This flashlight is but mind blowing awesome...Everything is to like about this flashlight..... hang it from a belt loop .......and with the twist of a thumb and index finger you have light shinning on the ground before your feet at the intensity level you last used... ------ 3 intensities of light available..... just perfect.....---- a very sure connection when twisted on... ( vs ...finicky threaded head / tail cap switch electrical connection others use ).... you get no light flickering whatsoever.. ..if you look into the head of the light you will see a gold connecting ring completely insulated from the head that mates to the polished surface on the barrel of the flashlight....this provides the ( - ) negative polarity to the head--- It won't draw power when off.. because .... when you twist the head to power off...you get a complete mechanical breaking of the circuit by the physical separation of these two surfaces.....you are in fact completely disconnecting the battery from the head which contains all the voltage regulating and memory circuitry---- the last setting of the light will still be stored in memory when you turn off / replace battery ...etc .. because the memory used is non volatile ram / meaning.......doesn't require power to maintain settings#######....Following applies to earlier version only.... the newer have addressed the problem / solved it ....by a copper like plating / different type metal on the spring...#######******* For anyone who may encounter a problem with the light no longer working... as some have remarked... I tracked the problem down with a volt meter... because after 6 months use.. it also happened to me... light is not busted... just needs cleaningpull out the spring with long tweezers or bent wire hook... get a piece of cloth ( wet with rubbingalcohol ) ..sized so you can twist and turn it down into the very bottom of the flashlight body toclean it... clean the spring also... then wipe the threaded part of the bodies shinny ring... thatshinny ring contacts the gold contact ring in the head of the flashlight... twist and turn the clothalso into the head of the flashlight to clean the contact surfaces... after cleaning with alcohol...lightly coat all cleaned surfaces ... spring etc....with WD40 oil... ( keep clear of lens ) ... pushspring back ...so tip points up...back into flashlight body... reassemble etc...the flashlight will now work and not require cleaning again.... the problem is caused by oxidationof the aluminum which forms a non conducting coating .... this flashlight has a voltage regulatingcircuit... and the coating causes low or no voltage....so it reacts by not shutting on to preventdamage / full discharge to rechargeable batteries... a regular flashlight would flicker... turn onintermittently ....if smacked against ones palm etc...I am going to try this... remove a thin strand of copper wire / or silver... from some multi strand wire.... wrap some turns about the bottom coil of the spring where when reinserted it should make a secure electrical connection to the barrel of the flashlight ... then run the rest of the wire up through the middle of the spring... and wrap some turns about the topmost spring coil where the battery will make contact with it... this way the wire will carry the current directly from the negative base of the battery to the barrel of the flashlight body ... should work.... / last solution... worked... pulled out the spring and put a slight bend outward at the end of the coil so that it digs securely into the barrel for a sound connection and at the same time increases the force of the rest of the coil against the barrel ... months now all good... I believe it's a permanent fix
