*New* Lumintop Titanium Tool

Another 5 minutes legoing and I discovered that when the Lumintop Ti Tool tail is used on a Maratac Cu or Lumintop Copper Tool with a 10440, it limits to one high mode - so the e-tail from the Lumintop Ti Tool is the culprit. If a Maratac Cu or Lumintop Copper Tool tail is used on the Lumintop Ti Tool body with a 10440, you get all three (brighter) modes :thumbsup:.

Here's a quick lego photo:

Got my lights in tried a 10440, lost low and median but high is incredible. Put in an eneloop and all modes work perfect.

Thanks for reporting your experiment. Glad the circuit was not damaged for primary battery use.

great sleuthing! Do you use protected cells (link)?

... The Maratac, Lumintop Tool (Copper, Alum, Ti, Rey Light Tool (Copper and Ti) and Worm (Copper, Stainless and Alum) in their present versions all use the same NoPwm driver afaik. I would expect them to react the same way. ...

I own all of these models (including all PWM and noPWM Maratacs) and they work perfectly with 10440 in my experience, YMMV .

thanks!, I edited that out after digesting your post better.. much appreciate the clarifications regardless

now about that protection? (maybe in the other thread would be better)

Posted in another thread, but wanted to update here - it appears my Lumintop Tool Ti e-tail operates with all three modes (albeit a bit erratically?) using li-ion, IF they are at ~3.8 Volts or below.

Thanks for the great info.
For others considering the perils of crossing over into the dark side of the Force in pursuit of a
Sith Light Sabre,


here is a link to the LiIon thread that explores the pros and cons of factory unsanctioned use of 10440 in a Tool.

Hey Jon!
Got a laugh from your above Star Wars reference!

Re: Lumintop TOOL Ti

I'm afraid I've not got a TOOL Cu to do any beam comparisons, sorry.

Re: Lumintop TOOL Ti

Keep in mind, Li-on should be charged around 3-3.5V, so half the battery is used up at that point.

Re: Lumintop TOOL Ti

Oh yeah, it's no good to me on li-ion for sure operating with half charged batteries. I'd be interested to hear if others can confirm the same findings (e-tail only works at ~3.8V and below).

Is it a Feature, or a Bug?

For someone that wants a Single Mode light that turns on at High Turbo first, the appearance of 3 modes is a protection feature that indicates the battery level has fallen to 50%.

Imagine being a Jedi wielding your Light Sabre in pitched battle, when suddenly the Sabre Beam Shuts OFF. This is your signal to beat a hasty retreat using the remaining power to illuminate your route to the recharging station. Or, alternatively, to quickly reload a fresh Battery Pack, defeat the Invaders, and save the Princess!

now back to our regularly scheduled program
Im expecting my TiTool Light Sabre to arrive in a couple of weeks

i really would love owning the copper lumintop tool!just for a pocket torch and night time bedside reader,lost my only other pocket-pal streamlight micro about one year ago!and probably this would replace it nicely.

Re: Lumintop TOOL Ti

I'd love to have a ReyLight copper tool. Speaking of that I should order the ti ReyLight while I can.

Re: Lumintop TOOL Ti

I'm in for a Reylight Ti as well.

I've got a few extra Reylight copper, pm me if I can hook you back up , I think you sent a package my way today.

I just got off the phone to 47s and they confirm the old and new clips are not interchangeable.. so, yes, Its possible the new preon clip fits.. and they said no, the New clips can not be purchased separately. (The old ones can)

another similar clip is on the Eagletac D25aaa, maybe someone can report if fits a Tool
