[NMD] Lumintop Tool AA Illumn Special Edition Copper (imgur.com)

A few years ago, Illumn ran a giveaway on r/flashlight. I unexpectedly won! It was a Tool AA 2.0 copper with SST-20 4000K. I liked the light a lot, but of course a year or so later, 519As came out. I recently started modding thanks to @[email protected] and GetKong's reddit posts and ordered some 519As from Simon. I decided the Tool AA would be an excellent first candidate. Came out great! Thank you so much, folks!

Yeah, these are awesome, also modded one after I accidentally killed the sst-20. I reflowed a 219B SW30. Amazing and warm.

I was looking for those orange peel reflectors in that size to mod some more normal Tool AAs, but haven't found any yet.

That is one gorgeous light.

I swapped the OP reflector from the Illumn AA into another TI AA with 519a DD. Now my Cu has a SST-20 2700K that I have lying around, with a SMO reflector. I also have a black Alu AA with 219b with a TIR, no glass though.
