Lumintop Tiger retro flashlight.

[u/xe54xenon]

This flashlight captures both retro vibes and top-notch performance by pairing a classic design with a powerful LED. It’s bound to be the ultimate choice for night walks.

[u/macomako]

Looks like a missed opportunity:

- the button is used to change the modes — it would be way more intuitive with multi-position sliding switch

- cold and low CRI light that does not resemble the incandescent light at all

[u/Sypsy → u/macomako]

Hah! Why does it need a tactical mode? Honestly, just Off-Low-Medium-High would be wonderfully intuitive

[u/macomako → u/Sypsy]

Indeed! Nitecore EDC09 nailed it perfectly with the slider for OFF/Low/Medium/High (there also a button for Moonlight and CCT-changing).

[u/aldanathiriadras → u/Sypsy]

Calling it 'tactical' is not exactly wrong, given the original and intended use, just the wording doesn't fit the vintage feel;

The original lights in this style operated exactly like this, albeit with the one level.

Should definitely be warm white and high-CRI, though.

[u/LMP-Br → u/macomako]

I have the same thought about the CCT and CRI, they should have went with a 2700K - 4000K emitter

[u/JJMcGee83 → u/macomako]

I feel exactly the same. I was bummed to find out that the switch isn't a slider.

[u/Emergentmeat]

Wow, whoever designed that did not understand the assignment.

[u/Leading-Ad-4510]

Sounds like marketing copy. 🤨

[u/lifesatripthenyoudie → u/Leading-Ad-4510]

Chinese marketing copy at that. "It's bound to be the ultimate choice for night walks." 🤣🤣

[u/-suspicious-badger → u/Leading-Ad-4510]

Of what ?

[u/reg_smh → u/-suspicious-badger]

In marketing, copy means the written text or words used in advertisements and promotional materials with the goal of persuading an audience to take a specific action.

[u/-suspicious-badger → u/reg_smh]

Oh I see, gotcha. And yes it does.

[u/IEnjoyRadios]

One of these with a good LED would be cool. You could fit a massive battery in that handle too.

I think the chonky light with massive runtime is an underrated segment. I don’t need huge lumen output. Give me like 300 sustained lumens and a chonky battery and it’s a perfect flashlight for the house.

[u/flipyflop9]

This is asking for a 3000K maximum…

[u/electromage → u/flipyflop9]

More like 2700k. They didn't have the gas mixes to allow for hotter filaments back then.

[u/UdarTheSkunk]

Oh man… this needs to be 3000k

[u/ozzy_thedog]

I wish that button was a momentary switch. I love my old Coleman light. Simple on and off sliding switch and a momentary button.

[u/Outrageous-Basket426 → u/ozzy_thedog]

Almost all of my vintage lights have that more spots in but not one replica ever seems to include it

[u/boggidyboogidyshoe]

This could have been such a great light...

[u/fixxall]

So cold.  :(

[u/ThePenultimateNinja]

I'd love one of these in a 3000K. I wonder how easy it would be to do an emitter swap.

[u/45pewpewpew556]

So close to a add to cart for me. 3000K or less

[u/MountainFace2774]

Real missed opportunity here without a high-CRI low CCT emitter. I would even prefer it if it were a single mode at around it's max sustained lumen level.

I need more simple but high quality lights to give to people.

[u/TECHFOURNINE]

Does it have any heft to it or thin sheat metal feel like the now antique versions? Also what battery 18650 21700?

[u/xe54xenon → u/TECHFOURNINE]

Its design is similar to a tiger head flashlight. This flashlight is powered by a 26800.

[u/SFOTI]

I agree with the other comments here. The UI doesn't fit the controls, and the emitter is a very poor choice. 3000K high CRI with an SFT-40 or SFT-70 would be much more appropriate.

[u/Crash_Recon]

What emitter? That thing is begging for an emitter swap

[u/fordag]

To be honest this is just disappointing.

They took the retro look but none of the features that make a retro light appealing.

Simple on off momentary switch, long battery life, warm light.

[u/SPECTREagent700]

I’ve had one of their AAA flashlights on my keychain for like ten years now

[u/Coolnewt1]

It’s kind of dope

[u/Ronthe1]

Thats cool! Might have to get Dad one.

[u/-E-Cross]

Aluminum.

[u/REdd06]

Any idea if it will ever hit Amazon?

[u/xe54xenon → u/REdd06]

It would be the one of most popular item if on sale.
