I3T EOS

I carried a Fenix LD09 for a long time and really liked it. But when I lost it, I started carrying a Fenix E11 that I had. It was good, but I realized that I like having multiple brightness options for the sake of battery life and low light conditions when I don't need to be blinded. Well, I recently lost the E11, so I started shopping and came across this one. My previous lights rubbed hole through my back pocket, so I wanted something smaller since I'm a small guy. So I was comparing the Fenix LD02, the O-Light iT3, and the Streamlight Microstream USB. The Fenix was smaller, but it's the dimmest, only has one brightness setting, and most importantly, isn't sold on Amazon Prime. So I gave the O-Light a try since it was the next smallest. I love it. It's exactly what I needed. It's tiny, has a great battery life (for a AAA), and is plenty bright. It may not be what you need. If you have older eyes, you may not like it since the dim setting is really dim. But since I use the dim setting when I don't want to wake up my wife or kids in the tent, it's just right. The dim setting is just enough to see the path and tell if you're going to step on a snake (I can personally confirm). It's like one of those old keychain LEDs when they first came out - not bright enough to do much, but gives just enough light when you don't need much. It's perfect for an EDC light. The bright setting, however, is plenty bright for a tactical light that fits in your pocket. It will easily light up my living room. It's theoretically a little brighter than my previous EDCs, but it doesn't shine quite as far. So far, that hasn't been an issue...after all, it's a AAA flashlight that fits in your pocket, not a spotlight; there's only so much you can ask. The battery life hasn't been an issue for me. I use my flashlight multiple times a day. I don't use it all day; I'm not working in attics for a living, but for normal stuff, it's great. I just went camping for 2 nights, and it did everything I needed. However, I highly recommend using rechargeable batteries so you can always have a hot battery. And for $20, being one of the cheapest EDC options, I am so impressed. I would totally give this to my kids for camp-outs if they were old enough. The clip is a huge improvement over the Fenix. It is very secure, but not too hard to clip. The hat clip is awesome. I had aspired to buying a headlamp for a long time, but now all I have to do is put on a ball cap and clip on the light. It works perfectly. The button is good. It does turn on to dim first, then you have to press again for bright. That's good for an EDC but less good for a tactical light. I'm torn. You might not like that, and I totally understand. Overall, I'm very impressed and have already recommended it to others. If you're looking for a AAA light, this one will not disappoint. If you care about size, get this one. If you don't care about size, there are probably options you'll like more.

Ordered one on sale to try it. Liked it so much, bought another one! It's very small, yet puts out a lot of bright light. Very handy on my work bench when I need a flashlight w/o holding onto a big bulky one. It can clip to a hat, or often times I hold it in my mouth to free up my hands. I keep the other one in the tray in the car for those random times I need a handy flashlight to look for something in the dark, or dropped under the seat. Highly recommend these handy little light!!!

Olight is already a trusted brand and for good reason. This flashlight is only slightly thicker then the AAA battery it takes to power it and not much longer. It's keychain size but is designed to be pocket carried. I chose this light over the numberous other types for the following reasons: 1) Size - i wanted something that could fit in a front pocket and be carried around all day, every day without adding bulk. 2) Functionality - All I needed was a simple on/off. This one has a low beam (5 lumen) and high beam (180 lumen) so that works fine. And BTW, 180 lumens is more then bright enough for the casual use most of us would need a non-tactical light for. I didn't need or want 5 different levels of brightness nor a strobe. This is intended to be used for those times when you simply need to get a beam of light to see dark places better. Simple push button once for low, twice for high, third time for off. Repeat as needed. No memory so will always go low-high-off. 3) Battery - I elected to go with AAA because of the smaller size and knowing this light is not intended to light up a room for extended periods. Buying a light with a recharable battery and USB built in was intriguing but in the end I liked having the versatility of simply popping in a new AAA battery which could be purchased at any number of stores without worrying about having a recharge source. 4) Versatility - I often find myself crawling under a car, searching for something that fell under my car seat, or other times when having two hands free is ideal. The two-way clip was a great feature for attaching to the bill of a baseball cap or shirt pocket. A removable clip that could be turned around was also an option, but continous removal and reattaching both scratches up the housing and can possibly loosen the clip itself. 5) Durability - Riding around in a pocket all day with a knife, keys, pen, phone, etc it was going to get banged up a lot. The housing needed to be rugged but lightweight, the clip needed to be strong but flexible, and the overall construction needed to be tight without feeling like it would fall apart. The machined aluminum is very high quality and the specs are very tight...everything fits together precisely. This flashlight checked all the boxes and more. At $19.95 each on Amazon I did feel the price was steep especially when compared with so many other options...including the myriad of chinese knockoffs. What won me over was this light was offered on a lightning deal which knocked 20% off the price. This made it more competative with other options, plus I was getting a trusted brand.

I’ll start with this: the Olight i3T punches way above its weight class and has become a staple in my everyday carry. I’d never bothered with a flashlight before—if it wasn’t small enough to forget about, I didn’t want it. This one is that. It’s practical, bright enough for real use, and built like a tank. The lightweight design means I toss it in my pocket without a second thought. That said, it’s not perfect. It has one glaring flaw: it gets hot—fast. Not burn-your-hand hot, but enough to make you pause. I’ve made peace with it by asking myself: How often do I really need a pocket sun? Not often. I keep bigger flashlights in the house and car for extended use. This is my quick backup light, and it excels at that. Oh, and the clip? Solid. Nothing on this thing feels cheap—it inspires confidence against drops and daily wear. 4/5 stars – Minor heat issue, major EDC win.

Incredible. So light you forget it is in your pocket. Takes one triple A. The chance of not having one triple A in your house is impossible. Moderately bright for indoors. Has a dim mode and a brighter mode. Great little light which ill buy another one when they go on sale again

Linterna literalmente de bolsillo. Muy pequeña y con excelente potencia de iluminación. Recomendable.

I like the feel and function of this torch. It is solid, made from aluminum and has a nice, solid feel. The on/off switch has a very positive feel when operating it. The 2 different light levels are good for different tasks in very dark places. I also like the 2 way clip. This is a nice feature when I need something on my cap or when I need it for other applications. A very nice torch!

Wat een licht voor zo'n klein lampje, altijd bij me, Nav een recentie oplaadbare batterijen gekocht, nog meer licht, helemaal goed dus..... Echt een aanrader voor iemand die verlichting in zijn leven zoekt.

Love it. For my minimalist EDC - Every Day Carry. Inobtrusive, out of sight and out of mind, until needed. Real performer, too. The fixed zoom is face sized at one metre. As bright as those cheap 3xAAA flashlights. And with low power setting so won't run out of battery power when needed. Even small enough to clip on baseball cap lip!
