That’s good to hear…I just ordered one along with a couple 10440’s. I’m trying to find something smaller to carry daily and still put out decent light when I need it. Hopefully yours is still holding up. Great video, thanks for sharing.
12:17 Of course you can use 10440 with a Maglite Solitaire but with a different bulb or better with a led conversion intended for 2XAAA. A 3,2 volts LiFePo4 280 mAh instead a 4,2v (out of the charger) Lithium-Ion would be much safer like some Soshine.
Thanks, great test! But maybe the low temperature readings are more concerning - High temps on the metal surface basically proof that the heat transfer IS working properly!
I remember years ago...MAGLITE K3A116 AAA Solitaire Flashlight with 2 lumens-10 lumens, were the FAD, for small edc lights...now they are outdated, almost obselete, and no longer a contenter in the Lumination Photon Stream Emitting department. I got 5 x *Olights i3e EOS* for only $65 cad ($48 usd) compared to, One *ThruNite EDC Flashlight Archer Mini* $55 cad ($42 usd).
I honestly don’t get why mag did nothing to be competitive.. like.. 100 lumen modern lights? Is that a joke? Forget having a string throw.. just.. underwhelming.. I’d love to have one and blast it but they just are horrible compared to todays lights.
@@smotheredchrome once it’s too late.. they’re not a high contentender.. they live off old time enthusiasts and people who “think” mag lights are he best because everyone says that.. which.. is becoming less and less.. I’m betting within 10-20 years mag light will fall down to nothign or close to it… unless they do something new..
That's interesting my little thrunite ti2 works with those pk cells I got off amazon, I had to screw ir down tighter this I thought I would but it still works with aa's too after using it for like a month with a 10440 on my keys
So you have run the Olight i3t multiple times for extended periods over three weeks with a 10440, and it handled it? This is very encouraging. I just picked up a second one to run a 10440… my current Olight i3t I run with high capacity low self-discharge AAA NiMH batteries. As now, still having success with the 10440 in the Olight i3t? Thank you very much!
Yes I keep 10440 in my i3t and have not had any issues and I have over 20 i3t. I also run the 14500 in my i5t with no issues but you only get the hi mode witch is a solid 1200lm plus. I appreciate your comment 🙏 Thank you.
@@smotheredchrome @Smothered Chrome My second and 3rd i3t should be here by Wednesday this week and I just received the 10440 batteries from Amazon yesterday, and I will run the 10440 in the one i3t and run it hard. That's interesting information on the i5t... I have the i5r and while okay for most general use, it always seems to make me want just a little more for a backup in the forest. When working in areas where wildlife can seriously harm or kill, it wait the most reaction time possible so a bright so a quality bright light is a most. A Black Bear is not always the easiest thing to see at night if you don't get some eye shine first. So I'll pick up an i5r and run a 14500, and it all run smoothly, I'll likely make that my backup light. The i3t will be my EDC. I appreciate the helpful information... honestly appreciate it... because with the lithium ion batteries, this light will become the perfect small pocket light to fill my needs. I will continue to run a few with the NiMH rechargeable batteries for use around the House when I don't need a lot of brightness, and need the longer runtimes. All my best to you and yours kola, George Silver Hawk
Thank you I appreciate your comments and support. The i5r is not worth using a 14500 as it only outputs around 150lm with the 3.7 it's factory 2.4 volt gives it 350lm if you want the 1200+ grab a i5t only one mode though but 1200+ lumens monster punch for its size.
I can confirm the baby Thrunite Ti2 does work with a 10440, I just had to screw the head down extra tight at first -- took a few tries, sometimes it just doesn't work at first, seems to be a weird physical issue rather than electronic. Once it gets seated good it works fine. Runs maybe a tad hotter than the Olight i3e but not quite as bright. Ran both for 2 minutes, i3e was at 108F and Ti2 at 115F. At 2 meters, I measured the i3e at 1700 candela, and Ti2 at 1480 cd. Interestingly, on AAA it's the opposite - the Ti2 is a little brighter than the i3e. Overall I think the i3e is still the better light for 10440, and Ti2 is the better light for AAA.
I saw in your prior video, On the i5T & i3T that you had some different batteries in there, blue ones, that you didn’t use. You used the Shockli instead. Those blue batteries looked exactly like the ones I am waiting on from off eBay. Is there any reason you didn’t use them. I’m hoping they’re ok to run as I just spent money on em’
The blue batteries are pk cells and the shockli out preformed them but the pk cells are not bad or terrible it's just the shockli did better in all my tests
But the real question is, what do the kids think about them? :-). A lot of the little lights use the same LED as the bigger ones as they are usually just bought in bulk so they can save on manufacturing. I have the lumintop EDC01 and there are many vids of it on RUclips with people using the 3.7v Lithium Ion no problem. However run time does suffer as the NiMh batteries or just normal alkaline are usually hovering around the 800-1200Mah whereas the Lithium ion is 350MaH. But it will work and be brighter but you cut down run time to a 3rd and due to the small size it will run super hot as it can't dissipate the heat as well as a larger flashlight. Plus due to the lithium ion battery chemistry, do you really want it in your pocket on a keychain next to your balls in case it catastrophically fails? :-).
Claro que fun uonan pero la vida util de tu led se reducira considerablemente. Eso aplique para la maglite solitaire incandescente le puse led y un 10440 y me quedo perfecto!!
I'm about to get the lumintop tool 3a on copper and thinking about using 10440 on that, seems a little bit safer cause Thermal conductivity of copper is better vs aluminium, but not to abuse it, only short use on high to be safe and the rest of time on low, thanks for the great video, i also have the microstream (alkaline 40lm), if possible a video like this using 10440 on that microstream would be great! I'm curious about temps, runtime and if it will take alkaline again no problem (maybe measuring lumens before ando after the test of li-ion to check for any degradation on the emiter) Thanks again for doing this stuff the right way, hope to see more content!!
Thank you I appreciate your kind words and input on this video I do not have a microstream but I will look into them and try to put something together for you again appreciate your comment and support Thank you.
The g19 just didn’t react. I suspect a voltage regulator… I’m not sure… I’m not the best internally on lights. Throw increased from 23m to 26m.. but.. nothing else…

No you can only use lithium in single battery flashlight otherwise you are pushing 7v in a light regulated for 3. Poof will definitely kill flash light
Great vid, thank you. Interesting to see how well the Olights held up.
Thank you. I've been using the i3t with 10440 with no issues so far but the black i3t does get warmer than the brass but still runs flawlessly
