Product Description
A larger, more powerful version of the extremely popular Lumintop Tool AAA, this one runs on a single AA battery and pumps out up to 550 lumens (with a 14500 battery). Made with an aluminum body that’s anodized in your choice of three different colors, it features three modes, all of which can be cycled through by twisting the base (you can upgrade to the clicky tailcap base at checkout) Read More

Is the non-clicky tailcap magnetic? If you pay for the clicky, is that in addition to the regular tail cap or in replacement of?
Thanks

JID8If it is like the AAA light I bought here previously on Massdrop, it's an additional part. So 2 tail pieces, magnetic and clicky.

" this one runs on a single AA battery and pumps out up to 550 lumens "
It won't do anywhere near 550 lumens on an AA--you need a 14500 for that, and no where in the description does it even mention 14500. That's just false advertising.
And it's $1 more on Amazon, but you'd get it a lot sooner.

I did not see a option for another battery size so I assume the 550 lumens is for the aa battery, is this correct?
At high setting, 550 lumens, does the output step down after 3 minutes or will it run at high for the full 45 minutes?
Ant feedback would be appreciated.

And therein lies the point, a flashlight that can use Li and alkaline for both convenience and higher output. Ya gotta love flexibility or at least some of us do. I have started the process (financed) Solar for my house and in time when I can afford it, I want a separate solar setup with generator for all of battery charging needs vs using my house/solar grid since that will be set up as a 97% offset and produce just under what I use in a year (las Vegas area). Though with sunlight all year I know I will get 100% energy production and energy credits with the power company to not spend money during the hotter than the sun months. Lol. Plus a separate portable system will travel with me and be useful for so much more too. Well that got off topic quickly lol... love my flashlights and knives hehehe

VachingHuI have two other models from then that work that way. Can confirm manufacturer habit.

Is this 550 lumens with a AA battery?! Or does it need a 14500 to produce that kind of powerful illumination?

I agree, I would expect brightness to be on par with the AAA version with an extended run time. Definitely will require a 14500 to achieve stated max output.

The AAA does 220 lumens.
Edit. Although I do agree, a 14500 will be needed for the high output this is boasting. I would expect 200 ish eith a single AA

Love the Lumintop Tool AAA. I own the black aluminum one with the Cree LED and the Massdropp exclusive Brass Tool AAA with a Nichia LED. Just joined the drop for the blue Tool AA, and definitely look forward to using it.
I've now already bought three of these Lumintop Tool lights for myself, and another one as a gift, and recommended it to a buddy who has himself bought one for himself, and I think gifted at least one as well... I'll definitely buy more, if I see what I like in the future.
I just wanted to share that I would be VERY INTERESTED in buying ANOTHER Tool AA if it were ever released in the Blue Titanium option (Like this one: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-blue-titanium-aaa-flashlight ). I almost bought that Blue Titanium Tool AAA, but decided I REALLY wanted an AA model instead instead. I chose to wait, and gamble on the hope that it happens. In the meantime, i'm settling with he Blue Aluminum Tool AA. I will likely gift it to a family member if I ever have the opportunity to get the Blue Titanium Tool AA. Given that the Tool AA is a physically larger light, I would imagine the light weight and increased durability of Titanium would particularly shine for the AA Tool, even above the AAA Tool, and the Blue Titanium, is quite frankly, awesome looking! I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Definitely want to see a Nichia LED offered though. I've fallen in love with the warm color of my Brass Tool AAA, and the AA could make up for the decrease in brightness with the beefier AA driven LED.
Something else I'd like to see, if it's possible, would be for future models to detect if a 14500 is installed. I like that the 14500 offers a brighter peak brightness, but I'd like even more, if installing a 14500 would add an additional mode, to allow the selection of 8, 25, (95 or 110), and 550 lumens. I like the idea of retaining the lower brightness options, besides the minimum, to allow the battery to run longer, while being still reasonably bright enough for varying illumination tasks. With an alkaline or NiMH, the LED control would disable the 550 Lumen output, and only have three options. I would presume such a feature would be easy to add by way of voltage detection, but it would, of course, require an entirely new controller. If we're doing a new controller though, I think there ought to be a way to jump to full brightness, maybe by holding the power button down. Maybe even add strobing, by holding the button, and tapping once it's on. I'd definitely buy that though!
My argument for having the 14500 add an additional light mode, rather than shifting all the modes brighter, is simple. going from 8-25 Lumens is a small gap, but that's enough to make the difference between seeing enough to not trip over things, to actually seeing what you're doing. A jump all the way to 95 is rather big, and feels like it could wash out your vision in some situations. It also DRASTICALLY reduces your overall runtime on any mode except for the "nightlight" mode. On a AA Alkaline, It says I can expect Low / Medium / High to last 36h 25m / 11h 00m / 1h 45m, but going with the 14500, brightness is increased across the board, and the runtimes are 28h 30m / 4h 00m / 0h 45m... That's a SIGNIFICANT reduction in overall battery life across the board, just to get that peak brightness of 550 Lumens as an option! Of course, the lowest mode gets bumped up by one Lumen, but it's battery life reduction is not significant. The medium mode is bumped from 25 to 95 Lumens, however! That's huge! The other differences are negligible, but that change is painful. It takes away a good low level working brightness with good battery life and replaces it with a power hungry mode that's getting fairly close to the brightness level of the high mode of the Tool AAA. That's a sacrifice I do not like, but it seems a necessary one, if you want the option of peak brightness. That's why I say future controllers should switch to four modes when a 14500 is used.
I say, for future brightness controller options... Consider detecting the battery voltage. If over a rated voltage (if it detects the higher voltage generated by a 14500 cell, say over 2.7 volts), then make it a four mode light... 8 / 25 / (95 or 110) / 550, but if the battery is below 2.7 volts, then only offer the three 7 / 25 / 110 modes.
That would retain the long battery life and more comfortable lower medium brightness levels offered by the 25 Lumen output, but still offer a middle ground (95-110 Lumens) between the 25 and 550 Lumen options, when using a 14500 cell.

So you choose one out of three and that's a "set"? When I first looked at this I thought the drop was for all three.

Y'know, if you order this from Amazon, it comes with both tailcaps, and you can get it in all these colors, or black, for the basically same price, and you won't be waiting more than two weeks to get it from the day your order is confirmed.
