I3T 2

These are terrific small edc lights, I use the i3t (1st and 2nd version) as around the house (pajama light) perfect for me as low is useful to get around house and still enough to see pup in yard at night. My daily edc lights are 18650 (mini warrior and baton) usually and a few other brands, but olight is usually the one I carry, also carry a secondary which is normally a AA like the (sadly discontinued i5t and i5r) though the thrunite Sabre and acebeam pokelite have served me well too. Ignore any negative with the i3t either 1st or second version, things like it's not bright enough or short battery light, those are not legitimate negatives as they seem to expect far more then a little aaa size battery are capable of performing and not to bash but are unrealistic with their demands (aside from faulty lights) they want decades of future technology today. Want more carry more. As i do. I3t has a good size hot spoteven up close with a little spill. I prefer a 5000k tint overall but not a absalute as a cool white has its place (like mechanic work for me) as a cool white works better in day time use (for me) the i3e i have in my shorts now is an older sky version and still going strong. Out of well over a dozen of this model I have purchased (i give the as gifts as other lights) only had one where a tailswitch failed, olight sent me a new tail switch in less the a week. I have only played with the newer version and works exact same way butvthe ability to switch mode sequence is a nice upgrade though I prefer to turn on low upon first press, but is nice to have the option. My main brands are Olight, Fenix, Nitecore, Thrunite and Sofirn. Olight is by far my favorite in use, quality, longevity, customer service, appearance and beam patterns, only ding is the prices have definitely gone up as they have become more popular and is understandable. (I have been blessed and have to many light period) so other brands get gifted and i use my olights. I do wish olight would bring back the 2AA and 3AA size lights back and probably will down the road, yes it have some of those too and are great for camping or when I carry one light as they have better runtime with 2 batteries. As long as your realistic with a single cell aaa size battery I think you will like the i3t for a simple 2 mode light.

+Ridiculously bright considering the batteries it uses +"normal" brightness is good, and it doesnt seem to heat up that much at all even for extended on periods at this brightness level +Runs very cool (battery dependent heat) +Very "clickey" endcap switch + fits pen pocket very well + pocket clip is incrediblely strong +hat clip is incrediblely strong + simple on off button use + "turbo" is ridiculously bright -"turbo mode" isn't the easiest to reliably activate - no lockout mode - no protection from accidental activation

Last time this light was on sale the orange color wasn't available, so I got a green one. The green was fine but sometimes not easy to find in low light (I needed a flashlight to find my dark green Olight). So when they went on sale again, I got the orange one. Flashlights are getting too complicated. RGB, non-stepped continuous brightness levels, different color temperatures, strobe, beacon, SOS, etc. The problem with those is you need a copy of the instruction manual with you to use them. So for my EDC lights I like to keep things simple (2 or 3 brightness levels with a simple, intuitive interface). This is a simple, bright, single AAA flashlight with a tactical style momentary on or push to click on switch. You can change the default mode (high or low) and then a quick double tap or off/on cycle will change to the other mode. Once you've set the default mode you'll never need the manual again. It's small, bright (200 lumens on a disposable alkaline battery, or 300 with a rechargeable battery) and has a 2-way pocket clip. I've tried it with NiMH and 1.5V Lithium rechargeable batteries and it works great with either. If you want something smaller than the Olight I3T 2, you'll need to get something like the Lumintop EDC01, which also has a simple 3 mode, twist on/off interface, and is about as small as you can get in a single AAA flashlight (but it doesn't have a pocket clip and is not as bright as the Olight).

I now own 8 of these little lights. Professional Quality. I'm usually a Surefire or Streamlight Guy. But I have these for sitting at different places around the house or in the Truck. I put a loop of Paracord on them and hang them in handy places. I have an extra in my EDC Sling Bag. My Wife has an extra clipped in her purse and her truck. They are built tough and put out a great amount of light for their size. Uses a AAA Battery and two modes on the rear button switch. First Click is a soft low light setting that generally gets the job done. Second click is 200 Lumens of Bright Light that will light up the room or allow you to see across the yard at night. All Aluminum Body with a dual direction pocket clip. In a pocket, pouch or can be clipped to the brim of your hat while working on something. I clip mine on the overhead sun visor in my truck. These are quality lights and are excellent for the price. We occasionally take Short Day Hikes, so one of these is going into the small Survival Packs that we carry. A friend of ours got lost and stranded on a Day Hike. Luckily he had water and a survival Bivy for the cool weather that night. But he said the one thing he missed having was a flashlight. I gifted him one of these.

Compact, easy to carry, and bright. It is comfortable to carry.

Overall great led, very easy interface - high and low, temporary on off as well as full click rear switch. Good build quality, nice 2 way clip. Haven’t tried 10440 but this Version 2 takes them as the original version doesn’t supposedly - which brings the output to 300 lm, but 200 lm as I’m running with standard rechargeable aaa nimh is adequate, it comes with an alkaline aaa but I noticed flickering with that battery. The only thing that is strange or different about this light with either battery that I’ve run it with is that there is like a very slight gradual “ramping” or delay wheb switched to high mode, it’s very slight but it’s not something I’ve seen on any other light I’ve owned and that is a collection of 30 plus led lights. It may have something to do with the new circuitry of the version 2 or could just be my particular light. Size - it’s bigger than a Lumintop Tool AAA for comparison, but makes it easier to hold. It you are new to flashlights or as general recommendation for an instant EDC lineup - here are my current favorites for a 4 light simple and cost/ budget effective AAA/AA capable lineup - 1. Olight i3e aaa for keychain, 2. this Olight i3t or Lumintop Tool AAA for small rear click pocket light, 3. Acebeam Pokelit AA (comes with rechargeable lithium), 4. Acebeam Tac AA (comes with rechargeable lithium). 4 lights that cover pretty much anything you will need for say 65-75 bucks total for all - depending on sale price at the time of each.

Much brighter than “My phone has a flashlight”, it works in all conditions and light enough to carry anywhere. I’ve never had it heat up on me. It has a lower brightness adjustment that is good as a book light. It is also made with a surprising quality level, especially for the price. The battery life isn’t good, but it’s a single AAA, so it’s effortless to carry extra, and you can find them everywhere. Absolutely would recommend

This Olight is my absolute edc favortie. the small design functionality really shine and at this price point is insane. i highly reccomend this to anyone loking for a well built flashlight that is compact and easyily fits in your pocket

I snatched this edc torch at a great price, hoping it turns out as expected, which was a small but mighty and easy to carry flashlight. It didn't disappoint. The whole body is made up of metal, except the button area. It takes up one AAA battery (included) and operates in 2 modes. One is dim and the other is high which can be easily changed. It also has a conveniently designed button at the back, clicking once turns it on, clicking second time turns it off, and soon after it turns off if clicked instantly, the torch light up in dim mode. So, amazing durability, super easy operation, sturdy design and great luminance. Worth the money certainly!

It's fine. Received original product. Luminosity is not that great buy it is expected for such a small device. Look out for deals as we are paying a lot extra for purchasing it in India.
