Well,, I did order one Lumintop IYP 365 yesterday  :like: :like: It's really inexpensive compared to other lights. About $20 with the shipping. I hope the cheap shipping doesn't mean cheap service and I get it, lol.

I read some people had problems with the switch ... but the switch of the way more expensive Preon P2 gave me trouble and stopped working, too, so ... However, if the Lumintop Tools can speak for the whole group of Lumintop flashlights, then the penlight too must be an awesome light :D

To any of you that aren't broke  :D, there is the standard IYP365  in anodized Al, but there is also the brass and titanium versions of this light!  :ahhh

I won't pretend is my most used light but I didn't had any problems with it. And btw, right around the time you were talking about the copper tool (I believe it was you) I had my fingers itching to get one too, but than I came to my good sense and though I didn't needed it, it's heavier and more expensive. That is until I saw it on sale and ended up buying it... :facepalm:

The most up to date penlight I have is this Tank007 PA02.  Not a bad light TBH but the UI takes a bit of getting used too.

For a while I considered some of these Tank007 penlights, there are/were two variants and the prices were what I could afford back in the day. Never ended up getting them, not sure if I want to now that there are many good options at really good price. Thorfire is a nice budget light from what I gather.

I got this a while ago and, if I perfectly honest, I've never used it much. :-[  I don't remember it being particularly pricey, though I suspect I got it in a sale.

I had one of the streamlight styli, I thought it would be useful, however I never found a use for it. I ended up giving to my son and it suits his small hands perfectly

Considering I just lost my 5.11 I was planning on adding some rubber tube at the back (below the pocket clip). That should improve pocket retention and possibly solve your problem too.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Great suggestions guys. I believe there was a stylus pro like light that came with some kind of rubberized grip from factory. I still have a spare silicone sleeve that came with the Lumintop Worm, I'll give that a go.
