Lumintop has a warmer yellowing LED -more pleasant to my eyes .Batteries seem to last about the same. It also costs 1/2 to 1/3 the price of Fenix. My first Fenix died, the company send me another one, but It shuts of randomly on downhills when the bike hits some rough surface like the first one I had. It is pretty dangerous to decent in the dark all of a sudden. I always use Fenix with another light as a backup. Fenix also refuses to charge the battery when plugged it with USB sometimes.

That Lumintop light looks really good. Amazon is selling it for $40 but that price may not last, as it's listed as a Black Friday price.
