LUMINTOP Pocket-Sized Super Bright Flashlight Set Tool AA 2.0 EDC Flashlight with Magnetic Tail and 920mah Rechargeable Battery, 650 Lumens, 5 Modes with Mode Memory, Waterproof Torch for Camping

This is the standard for which all other miniature flashlights should be judged. Gives off powerful light from an amazingly compact source. It can fit in the jeans fifth pocket, and there’s no reason not to leave it behind any where anytime. Wheen you’re stuck in a blackout, this will provide a fantastic amount of illumination till you get back on your feet. Simple operation and several tint, metal, and coating options are now available. The price is the reason you can’t afford not to have a few. Light, and durable, you won’t notice it’s there until you need it.

After testing many small flashlights including nitecore, roxyvon, olight, fenix, streamlight, sofrin etc. I've settled on this one as the best.Durable and waterproof- dropped it and threw it in the pool for an hour. Actually does 650 lumens with Rechargeable Battery- I've tried out other 650 and 700 Lumen flashlights that weren't as bright.Nice spread of settings- 4 brightness levels and it remembers the last. Very cool lighted endcap and decent clip. The price is amazing for the quality and accessories included- includes a diffuser, which is really handy. Also turbo will last longer than any of my other lights which step down in minutes. This maintains brightness.ConsYou have to remove Battery to charge it, not really a con for me as I have rechargeables ready to go so I just switch.No power level meter or gage. Other than dimming or intermittent beam.I summery, it's tiny and extremely bright and well built and uses readily available cells. I reach for it more than any other flashlights I have, even though I have more $$ and more powerful lights. The more powerful lights I have step down to lower Lumen levels after a couple of minutes so this ends up being brighter in the end.

I got the full kit version, that came with the 920mAh USB rechargeable battery, click tail cap, magnetic twist tail cap, lanyard, diffuser, and 2 o-rings. This is a fantastic light, incredibly small and lightweight, but strong build. This will replace my standard carry of a 1200lm BLF A6. With the click cap, it's just over 3.5" and with the magnetic twist cap it's just a smidge past 3"! Incredibly bright for the size. My biggest fear is I'll forget I have it on me and send it through the wash. Bound to happen. The beam is a good spread and a crisp white.As some have said on here, turbo mode it gets pretty hot, pretty quick. Honestly, that's to be expected, especially at this size form factor. The click tail cap illuminates a very light blue. This bugs some, but a simple small twist of the cap undoes that if it bothers you, or if you're storing and don't want to burn down the battery.Excellent other features:- Memory mode for last brightness... this is huge for me. Drives me nuts when the default brightness is the lowest setting and I have to click through to get to the highest. Generally, I am wanting to illuminate something right away, and would rather click down if I'm using the light for a longer time.- Head twist to adjust brightness! With either tail you can also twist the head back and forth to adjust brightness. This is a great feature not seen on many lights.- Strobe is not part of the standard rotation, which I like. I want to purposefully activate strobe, in the incredibly rare chance I need it, not have it part of the mode rotation. And it's not hard to activate, 6 rapid clicks of the tail cap or twists of either the tail or head will activate it.The only thing I would like to see, and not worth a star removal by any stretch, is a two-way pocket clip, so it could mount on to a hat, etc. But, that would add a bit of size to the light.Overall, I'm extremely happy and have no plans to replace my new EDC anytime soon.

I lost my Streamlight Microstream sadly, so did a lot of research to find a worthy replacement/upgrade. Loved the size (AAA) of the Microstream, but wanted more than 250 lumens. Looked at Rovyvons, but didn't like the quick step-down in output. Looked at many AA-sized "enthusiast" brand lights including the Streamlight Macrostream and multiple O-Light models, but their output was 500 or less lumens. The Streamlight Wedge looked promising for high output and size, but lacked in lower-output modes for pen-light duties. The Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 had just about everything I was looking for at an exceptional price point.The 650 lumen output WITHOUT an auto step-down timer (it will stay in turbo mode for as long as there's juice in the battery) is great for a AA-sized light. The USB-C charging is nice, the 4 light output settings are easy to cycle through (and last mode memory is nice), and the rear soft glow push-button cap is great (it also came with a magnetic rear twist cap, though I don't carry it around with me). My only two complaints are the lack of color options (I loved my Microstream in Coyote Brown) and the terrible pocket clip, which looked cheap and sticks almost 1/3rd of the flashlight out of my front pocket. I much prefer deep-carry pocket clips, so I bought a Microstream clip, stretched it out a bit to fit, and reversed it to allow deep-carry on the Tool AA 2.0 (see attached picture). Not ideal as the reversed clip makes it a little finicky clipping in the pocket (using the outside of the 2-way clip meant for hat mounting) but still MUCH better than the stock clip. That added a few bucks to the price, but still cheaper than my Microstream and 650 lumens vs 250. Overall very happy with the Lumintop, though I still prefer the sleek size of AAA lights. The AA lights are still hardly noticeable in my front jeans pocket though, and the extra output is worth it.Overall, Lumintop is a great brand with good features and build quality for a very good price. The Tool AA 2.0 with a Microstream clip is a very usable EDC flashlight.UPDATE: The Lumintop 14500 battery completely failed after about a month of light use. It will not charge at all, so I'm currently using recharable AA's while looking for a more permanent solution. This probably is a fluke (I haven't heard similar complaints from other reviews), but obviously doesn't inspire confidence. Deducting a star from my original review as a result.
