I've used a lot of small flashlights over the years and the Olight i3T EPS is by far my favorite in this category. I plan to grab more in the future. Thanks for your review of it.
I 100% agree with you about the i3t-eos being Olights best flashlight!
Really appreciate the clarification . Thanks for sharing ✌️💥
You should do tests with the flashlights. You are my main dude for edc gear but testing flashlights would be a great addition to your awesome channel imo. Maybe add lumen tester? Us flashlight nerds will much appreciate
Dude. I make a video a day and am still super behind..wish I could but its too much of a time sink.
@@maxlvledc A Texas_Ace lumen tube might provide a way of doing quick on-the-spot checks to see the lumen output. But, yeah. Runtime testing and then editing specs into a video... lot of time and not even sure if people care all that much.
I do agree with you. the i3t is likely their best light funnily enough - that rear fwd clicky is damn near perfect. Ive owned 100-200$ lights that don't have a switch as nice.
Thanks for the updated video.
Thank you for this follow up video!
It is so funny. Thanks for sharing! We also have edc flashlights. After watching your video, it is very simple and clear to know the difference and function of these edc flashlights.😃
I use 10440’s in all my i3T’s , I have 6 of those , great lights 👍👍
Whats the runtime with the 10440 in high and low?
nice to know it, because i just purchased 2 of these!
Good to know, thanks for the update
All I need on this i3T is lockout capacity on the tail cap, that’s all. Others this is good and simple enough ❤
Somehow ALL 5 of the i3t and i5r lights in my rotation have had switch problems. Still a great bang for the buck but how do I have all of the bad luck if all of yours are fine except one? 🤦♀️ Great battery tip BTW
Those 3.7v EBL batteries look to be discontinued. Do you have a replacement recommendation? Thanks
I’m convinced this guy gets millions of dollars from olight
Def a sponsor😂
their flashlights are both gorgeous and high quality. the paint and knurling on i3 and i5 are really nice, providing a very good grip for a metal body.

Sort of, I get 10% commission. This is exactly the same as what any member gets using their referral link
My copper one failed. The spring in the end cap corroded. I'll return it. I have a green one & the one in carbon fiber. I always carry the green one for light edc now that it's lighter out. Leave the heavier ones behind.
Can you do a best Pen Laser EDC list by any chance? in my line of work I find lasers useful but am looking for something more compact, thanks
Can you use 2 10440s on the i3t plus?
I have one of these that won't turn on right out of the box. Any suggestions?
The i3 it’s t that great if you use it a lot. The light starts to flicker when you use it for long periods of time. I have never had this issue with the i5
What brand battery are you running ?
Maaaan i was just searching for one edc flashlight and rejected this one cuz of output but now im gonna rethink it 😂
P.S. thanks 4 the info
I bagged one with the big obulb deal you put me on to. The kids have the obulb astronaut. 🤔 big astronaut dock 🤩. Thanks again. 👍
Obulb astronaut is probably the coolest thing they offer. I want to get one for my son but he’s only 4 months old lol
I changed out the battery to a 10440 and compared it to a RovyVon A8. It was just as bright and gotta say it is the perfect flashlight for every day pocket carry.
How’s the longevity of the battery life on each mode?
@@strikenrykenI’m wondering about this as well. I just ordered an i3t eos yesterday. I guess I’ll have to look up where to find one of these 10440 batteries.
I thought you gonna giveaway the other i3t donut. Nice video as always sir. Watching from The Philippines.
I started carrying mine for a new Job. It has taken a lot of ware just from the walking I do. It’s wearing into the body
I haven't seen you review on the i3T Damascus Titanium yet.
The newer i3T in carbon fiber & titanium have different design over the older ones I have.
Nice, didn't know about the 10440 battery thing, I wonder if you can do something similar with the i5T and i5R
You lose low mode on i5T with a 14500, and high mode isn't improved.
Nope, doesn't work with I5R. In fact output is lower.
@@maxlvledc yeah Im a bit disappointed at i5r output, some other 14500 lights can punch out 1000 lumens even if its only for 30sec
Looks like they did change the led though, It seems to have a warmer tint
I've noticed this in the past with my orange one as well.
What kind of battery is that?
I won’t get any light unless it’s high first or remembers last mode.
Nice, they ran out of the Donut colorway by the time I decided to order one.
Black is classic though :)
Thanks for the tip about 10440s
I'm going to order those and a charger for it too.
Damn… I fear that this ‘throttling’ seems to be real, as I have a brand new brown (military sand, or something to that effect) color i3t that I received from Amazon last week. It does not present any issues at all with the mode memory effect-in other words, always defaults to low intensity and switches/alternates to high as it’s supposed to. I have swapped out 3 different LiFePo4 3.2v 10440 batteries properly registering about 3.3-3.5v on my multimeter, and I get no perceptible increased output on either low or high mode. i tossed them into another, lesser flashlight that has only a single mode, and the intensity improvement is noticeable. it’s highly likely that the light rep was either uninformed, or misspoke. The fact that it’s on a color that I assumed would have a legacy chipset vs the pink donut model strikes me as a pretty bad sign. The LifePo4 cells were harder to get man hands on, and are actually safer for the health of the flashlight all around vs Li-Ion 3.7v, so that’s unfortunate for me.
Which 10440 batteries do you guys buy and what charger?
I use Vapcell 3A 10440 green battery.
Thanks for the update,
But your video merely confirms that the models with mode-memory DO have their output capped!
The main problem is: Almost ALL of the new Donut lights seem to have this "feature"!
Really????!?!! They are not supposed to, checked with the rep.
I can't check the output on mine but it definitely doesn't have the mode memory issue.
@@CanItAlready it seems to be mixed for sure.
I can't believe it I managed to snag 3 donut I3T's after contacting a lot of stores in belgium :)
Did you get the autism i5T? When changing from low to high it ramps up rather than an instant switch like all the others; I was wondering if anyone else's was the same?
I5t ramps up
@@prokskee I wonder why 🤔
Dumb question but: how does the 10440 battery affect the runtime?
The run time is always smaller, as the power output is bigger, of course it depends on the mAh of both batteries
Shorter..and you want to be very careful not to drain the battery fully unless you want to kill the 10440
Just for reference, with a 330mAh 10440 battery I got 37mins on high and 5hrs on low (when submerged in cold water because I was worried about the LED burning out) 👍
What's the band-aid for
To remind me which is the bad one
Ok. I want the "broken" one. I hate those half brightness modes
sold me... 1 on order now :)
Nooo!!! Wait till sale!!!
Just curious, why would the i3t be better than the i5t?
It’s not! It’s just the it3 is a great little flashlight
People like the i3t because it can use AAA or be stepped up in performance with a 10440 cell (although you aren't supposed to). The i5t doesn't like being stepped up to a 14500 battery. It functions but only on high.
This!
In the AA range there are way way better lights than the I5R
@@maxlvledc I agree. It's a good "starter" flashlight, but definitely not the best.
Are those 3.7v batteries rechargeable?
Yep!
SO IT'S NOT CHANGED (PHEW) IT'S JUST THAT THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT!!!!! THE OLIGHT MYSTERY I3T BUNDLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. My Carbon Fibre i3t is not as bright and slightly warmer tone and smaller less defined hotspot than my original Dessert Tan i3t. It also isn't as bright when I use the 10440 such that the low mode stays low as if regulated and the high mode is boosted but not as much as with the older desert tan model so basically my CF version is crap with a standard nimh but pretty nice with the 10440 though not as boosted and a warmer tone. I prefer to use the old desert tan version with an nimh and the new weird CF version with the 10440. I also notice it says that lithium batteries are suitable for use with the CF version but it doesn't say if that means 10440's. I think my CF version is probably faulty but it doesn't have mode memory. So what is going on with these. How do you know what the heck you are going to get if you buy one????
Do you have a 10440 brand you can recommend? The ones I've found have been iffy wrt claimed runtimes/voltage
As long as it's made in Japan your good.
Pity there's no 3rd mode a low...and no memory of last mode...
Yep, Olight is lazy. 15 lumens or 180 lumens? They could easily do better but people buy this things in droves (not sure why) so they don't bother.
@@andrewcardillo4376For most of our use it's either a low or high & it's quicker to go to high without a middle output, I have an Acebeam Pokelit AA it has middle output but it's disturbing sometimes... that made me realize the i3T is better for most of my situations over the 3 light level output of the Pokelit AA.
@@andrewcardillo4376it's 5 lumens & 180 lumens on ordinary batteries & around 50 lumens & 550 lumens on high using 10440 battery.
No memory is better cuz you always know the i3T starts at low mode & don't need to remember anything.. u will never accidentally be in high mode with the i3T. My other Flashlight with 3 modes always blinds me (1000 lumens) during bedtime cuz I keep forgetting what mode I used last.. it never happens on my i3T.
But ...when used with a standard AAA alkaline battery I think the i3t is the worst flashlight I have ever used in the 1-AAA category. Run times and power management are horrific. When the battery gets to the 1.4 dc volt range you start to notice a very slight step down in brightness right after turning the light on high. And not long after that the stupid things start to flicker in high mode. They can't even manage the power properly in order to let the light just get progressively dimmer in the high mode (but still be usable at a much lower lumen level then 180 lumens). I would much rather have an i3e my pocket. Granted, I have never used the i3t with one of the 10440 batteries. And I'm assuming the performance must be way better, and that's why everybody loves them so much. But when used with regular alkaline batteries (I'm going out on a limb here) and I will say it's one of the worst flashlights on the market. My least favorite olight product. But I absolutely love that i3t plus. That's a great work like. With much better power management.
Lumintop frog 10440 @750 lumen
Which also can't use an AAA
i5R just seems much better.
too bad Olight stopped accepting prepaid gift cards for payment option. No more I3T for me..
I hope you dont leave alkaline batteries in your lights 😬
500 lumens through an it3 will get very hot in seconds
Cowabunga.!
It’s so funny, olight could sell thousand’s of the pink sprinkles but they only sell them to the high end olight members club, they sell out day 1 of the early access accounts so us normal people never get to buy them😢
Amazon still has them available that’s where I got mine
I agree, they should have made 2x as many
Just ordered mine on amazon right now because of this video haha. I currently own a 3 pro max and helps so much when I stack and wrap pallets inside a dark trailer. Getting a new backup for my backup.
@@projectedc you legend thank you💕
I don't get early access but still managed to get one, I'm not sure how, especially since I wasn't able to get on their website until four hours after the sale started and then had trouble submitting my order.
The previous pink light they did, they seemingly sold out before the sale even started. I was SO annoyed.
Pfft... 600 lumens?
My gigachad 60 mega watt v2.0 keychain flashlight recommended by Amazon delivers 1M lumens. 😉
are you sure you want to return this unique one of a kind flashlight? I'ts a feature not a bug ( cough cough...collectable..). 😉
The i3T is a good light but it's an example of how lazy Olight is when they can't cram their proprietary magnetic charging into something. They could easily produce a better light with better features (like a three mode with a useful medium in the 50-80 lumen range) that would be compatible with a 3.7V 10440 without voiding the warranty but they don't bother. Further evidence of laziness in this area the i5R... Could be so much more (and can't even compete with an i3T using a 10440) as it does not run on 3.7V. Olight's Baton series is and has been far and away a better light in it's category than the i3T.
Nah, comparing a $60 light to a $20 light seems silly. And one uses off the shelf batteries.. could they improve it? Sure...but they could also mess it up too.
@@maxlvledc I'm not comparing a Baton at $60 to a $20 i3T directly. The i3T clearly runs on 10440 and still uses AAA off the shelf, the tech supports it but they can't be bothered to make this "official"? Do that and add in an optional 10440 with USD-C and they have a winner, especially with three modes. Call it a i3R or i3Pro or some such for $30 and I'd buy it. Different strokes for different folks but a two mode AAA that I have to void my warranty to run a 10440 in isn't worth $20. A ReyLight Pineapple AAA isn't perfect but at ~$40 with the new 519A Nichia in at putting out 500 lumens it's way more compelling than a stale old i3T. Olight is more concerned with selling gimmick lights in this area than continuing to improve their product, absolute opposite of what they do with a Baton series. Disappointing.
aa and aaa lights are literally only backup lights. not ever primary carry lights
