Lumintop Tool AAA Flashlight After 5 Years [Appreciation Post]
This is a re-review of sorts. I'd written about this little light in 2015 when I'd first gotten it, but after 5 years of on and off use I've really got to be more positive about it than I was then. Back then I was still obsessed with the biggest, baddest lights I...
The Lumintop IYP365 Penlight (With Nichia True Color LED) Specs, Usage, Review
I actually tried an earlier model of the "IYP365" (in your pocket 365) years ago and thought it was decent, but wasn't thrilled with it at the time mostly because I couldn't see a use case for it in my collection of lights. I had big lights for 1000+ lumen uses, and I...

A Little About Brian Watkins…
I’ve been a gamer since age 7, starting with Super Mario Bros. and Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest), which ended up shaping my imagination more than I could’ve known. My first tattoo was even of a dragon out of respect for roleplaying games and how I spent much of my childhood with my best friend.
Two of my greatest hobbies are music and speaker equipment, something I learned from my father early on and have dabbled with ever since.
Professional Credentials:
I have a Bachelor’s degree in English, and also studied philosophy and psychology. I’ve pursued ongoing learning about copywriting, web design, and SEO professionally since 2006.
Notable Continuing Education:
- Nyght Falcon Photography training
- Knowledge Business Blueprint Course (Tony Robbins)
- The SEO Playbook Advanced SEO Course (Robbie Richards)
