I saw someone reviewing this on a YouTube video and was impressed, so after watching other videos of it and no one had a bad word to say about it so i bought one. It is so tiny that you would expect it to have a low light output but it is excellent even on the mid setting its good enough to see where your going. The high setting is really very good, you just have to bear in mind that this is not a torch to light up your path for a great distance but to see the ground clearly for a few yards. At a pinch i think i could use this to navigate my way out of a forest that i was familiar with but its main use for me is to light up dark badly lit pavement walking home. The battery life is not long on the high setting but its good enough for 5 or 10 minutes for a few nights and aaa batteries are small enough to carry a spare. This is as its described an 'edc' item which will be carried by me every where i go for whatever I'm doing. Not had it long, just over a week but so far I'm loving it and for the price you can't go wrong. Read more

All the light you need and the diffuser is a great feature too. With 120 lumens I’ve found it is plenty bright enough and on its lowest setting it should keep me going for most trips on one battery. Because it uses an AAA size battery it’s unlikely I’ll be without light wherever I go. I love the diffuser it comes with as it converts it into a mini lantern that will either tail stand or hang. It reminds me of a better and smaller classic mini mag light or solitaire! Really nicely made too and so so tiny. The perfect travel companion. Well, for light anyway. At £12 this seems to be a total bargain. The sort of thing you might buy for a gift… but want to keep. Read more

It's perfect for EDC (Every day carry). I've carried a small torch on my key ring for as long as I can remember, but the last one although bright, sad a little bit flimsy, and kept coming apart in my pocket. This is better in every respect. It's brighter on top brightness, has a half brightness setting (switch it on, switch it off and then on again quickly). It comes with a ring and a little carabiner, and also a little silicon diffuser, that is also fluorescent, so it glows green after you turn the torch off. It looks great, and is so sturdy compared to my other one, and takes one AAA battery. I'm very impressed, and highly recommend it. Get yours now! Read more

Bought as a “keyring carry” torch, to replace a much used and abused, (and woefully dim in comparison!), Maglite Solitaire. The Lumintop EDC01 is an extremely well made flashlight. It is nicely engineered, IPX-8 waterproof to 2m, and has a real “quality” feel about it. A single AAA battery, (not supplied), is inserted, by unscrewing the o-ring sealed head assembly. At just 66mm x 14.5mm overall, it is incredibly compact, and weighing in at approximately 23grams (with battery), is a real featherweight! – (The battery itself weighs 12 of those grams!). It has 3 available light outputs: - Low @ 5 lumens, medium @ 32 lumens, and high @120 lumens., with claimed runt-times of 36-hours, 4-hours, and 30-minutes respectively. I have no means of accurately measuring the claimed light levels, but from experience with several other flashlights, have no reason to believe they are exaggerated or unrealistic. – At its brightest setting, it is every bit as powerful as the best of similarly sized models. My only (minor) quibbles with the EDC01 are: - 1). The rather strange choice of 5 lumens for lowest setting. (I think that a true “firefly” mode of 0.5 - 1 lumen or thereabouts would have been better for those times when one wants to avoid loss of accustomed night-vision). 2). The equally strange sequence in which the three output levels operate. (The torch doesn’t have a “memory”). It defaults to, and always switches on at medium brightness, from which level it can be adjusted to lowest, and then highest setting, and then back to medium again, to repeat the cycle. The EDC01 comes complete with a “glow-in-the-dark” diffuser, a small but well made “carabiner” type keychain, two spare o-rings, and full instruction leaflet. For the asking price of £9.99 (at time of writing this review), with the caveat of the two minor quibbles mentioned, and for its intended purpose as a keyring torch, there is little to fault about the EDC01. Overall though, I do feel that the similarly sized and similarly bright Thrunite Ti3, which although more expensive has a more logical low-medium-high settings cycle, just has the edge. – (See my separate review of that torch!). Accompanying photo shows the Lumintop EDC01, compared size for size with Thrunite Ti3, and Maglite Solitaire. NB: The battered, much abused (it was originally black!!!) and back-in-the-day “cutting edge technology” of the Solitaire at left of image is finally being retired, making way for today’s cutting edge technology!

Esta luz ha sido mi llavero EDC desde hace un mes; reemplazó a mi viejo pero todavía muy funcional Fenix L0DceQ4. La primera impresión fue muy positiva. La luz venía en una bonita caja de regalo y era muy brillante y brillante y estaba esperando para acostumbrarse. Puse un AAA alcalino y WOW, orden de magnitud más brillante que mi viejo Fénix. Las roscas estaban un poco ásperas cuando eran nuevas, incluso después de limpiarlas y lubricarlas, pero están empezando a romperse. La junta tórica está bien ajustada. La silicona agarrada alrededor de la cabeza es una buena resistencia y ayuda mucho con el uso de una sola mano. No lo he llevado el tiempo suficiente para comentar sobre la durabilidad a largo plazo, pero hasta ahora el llavero ha resistido bien y ha sido muy brillante y útil. Read more

3 brightness levels, REALLY bright, bright and not really bright at all. The brightest setting literally illuminates a small or medium sized room almost entirely with no dark areas. If you need it to be very bright it is. Obviously this isn't going to be as bright as a much bigger torch with bigger batteries and a better LED bulb, but this setting is pretty amazing for its size. I can also imagine that your single AA battery is going to get drained pretty quickly on this setting. The medium setting is basically how you're going to be using this torch, which is a great every-day setting. Doesn't light up a room in nearly the same way, but provides plenty of light for finding your way in an unlit outdoor setting. The low setting... I'm not sure what I'd use that for, maybe it's good for reading a book by or something or having a bit of light without giving away your whereabouts. As others have mentioned it's twist to turn on/off... I find it illuminates quite often under the pressure of being in my trouser pocket sometimes, but that's not really a concern. It's very small, being only just bigger than an AA battery itself. I was torn between wanting a rechargable and non-rechargable small torch and ultimately I decided that I wanted a battery powered torch. I think this is the perfect small torch, it's small - a convenient size, lightweight, so easy to hold in your mouth, but not so small that you'll lose it and it's as powerful as I imagine a small torch could be. I couldn't ask for more from a small torch. Read more
