Tool AA 2.0 Kit

Great little flashlight. Very bright on highest level. Mine included a magnetic tail cap and a rubber glow in the dark diffuser. The regular tail glows between different rainbow colors. Some complain about this but it’s very useful in finding the light when camping or sleeping. If you don’t want it, just unscrew the tail cap 1/4 turn and it’s off. No big deal! Mine also included a good 3.7 volt 10500 battery that is usb c rechargeable. It must b3 removed to charge, but that’s normal in such a small flashlight. Love this flashlight!

What i like - Size - power - charge port on battery - build quality - clip - price - light mode changes - tailcap choice.Some ppl complain about the tail cap light - no option to turn it off. Well try twisting the tail slightly. I have purchased several of these some i use the lighted tail cap with pushbutton, some i use the magnet. For the lighted tail cap i keep this by my night stand and i twist it off when done. That being said it will last a month lit 24\7. The thing about us ocd light freaks are we all have different opinions on exactly how it should work. For me this really has it all.I have purchased too many of these already and writing this makes me want to buy another. I was in the attic with one and no lights up there so after a bit of fumbling trying to get the light to shine where I needed... I just put a screw above my head into a rafter and stuck my light above my head. Perfect and easy - nice for working on cars as well.Only thing I would change is put a clip on it that is bi-directional like another lumintop i have, one for baseball cap or pocket but its reversible already, so it will do either as long as you reverse it. No way would I take off a star for that. I haven't had one break yet but they seem solid so if its still going in 5 years then ill comment on that.I didn't initially see any value in the charge port, that is before i purchased and used it, but now after realizing i have micro usb chargers everywhere it sure makes them easy to charge wherever i am. Work - on a trip wherever i can charge this. Its a dated port but i have so many its fine. Would like to see a usb C battery at some point but again no way will I take off a star.

This is pretty much a larger version of the Lumintop Tool AAA. The brightness levels are very similar when using an alkaline battery.The brightness levels for the AAA version are:32 lumens (4 Hours)5 lumens (60 Hours)110 lumens (30 Minutes)I have provided a table with this versions (AA) lumen output and duration.The AA version (the one I am reviewing) has almost exactly the same brightness levels as the AAA version when using alkaline batteries. Using the 14500 really allows the AA version to produce the stated lumens, which in my experience seems right on spec. This small light puts out a very bright beamThe flashlight becomes hot to very hot when using at highest (500+ lumens). As it heats up, your grip on the light will move back toward the tail cap. There is no step-down designed into this flashlight. It will dim as the battery runs low. I like this more than the "feature" built into some higher end lights that run the light as long as possible then just go out.The flashlight comes with a flat tail cap which is magnetic, lanyard, and a soft rubber or silicone light diffuser. The diffuser simply slips on and works well as a table/tent lantern. The beam is floody type with a very good hot spot and even dispersion of light in the spill area. The beam cannot be adjusted but that is not an issue with this flashlight. The design of the beam is perfect for its purpose.The magnetic tail cap means the light changes to a twisty on/off/level changer. Shortens the length of the light by about 1/2". This makes it nice to use as a work light. Attach to the hood, engine block, heating duct, etc., and begin your work.The three brightness levels are all at useful levels. Lowest setting is good for middle of the night use. Middle setting is good for most uses and turbo/highest setting is good for more distance and when more detail is needed. It uses a cool white beam which I do not mind or this flashlights intended uses.There is no memory on this light. This is usually not an issue for non-tactical use. The standard tail cap is clicky-type. You can use half presses to switch to the various modes,or, turn it on and off to switch levels.I also have the AAA version which I use with a 10440 battery. The 10440 is NOT supported by Lumintop and will void the warranty. My AAA version no longer works with other types of batteries. I knew this going in but I wanted a small very bright light to use for short periods of time. In return, get the desired HIGH output from the AAA version.The main benefit to the AA version is longer run times at all levels using alkaline, NI-MH, 14500 batteries. This flexibility makes this light a real bargain.I have dealt wit their Customer Service for follow up support (about accessories, not about problems with their lights) and they have been very responsive. They even sent me a magnetic tail cap FREE for a Lumintop Tool AAA model which does not come standard with a magnetic tail cap. I mistakenly bought it instead of the version which comes with the magnetic tail cap.The built, durability, and quality of beam makes this flashlight a must have. For the price of $21 for the black version and $23 for red, purple, and blue versions (11-24-2017 price), I am buying more for around the house and as Christmas gifts.
