OLIGHT I3T EOS 180 Lumens Dual-Output Slim EDC Flashlight for Camping and Hiking, Tail Switch Flash Light with AAA Battery (Desert Tan)

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.

Well this is a cool, well-built little flashlight. It’s a perfect pocket/palm flashlight with two settings. The first click is low, which is proper for finding the keyhole on a dark evening, and the second click is a surprisingly bright and vast blast of light that could disorient or temporarily blind someone. It’s small too. Great EDC flashlight! The packaging is excellent, the build quality is excellent, and the scope and brightness of the second click is impressive. The clip is very solid too. Make sure to stock some AAA batteries! If you use this light a lot (specifically in bright mode) you will burn through batteries quickly. It’s small and slick, and bright and solid. It’s also water resistant. I got it on sale for $12.84, delivered. It’s even rad at eighteen bucks. Quite happy

The OLIGHT I3T EOS is an exceptional flashlight that has become an indispensable part of my camping and hiking gear. Its compact and slim design belies its powerful performance, making it the perfect EDC (Every Day Carry) flashlight for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone in need of a reliable light source. With a brightness of up to 180 lumens, this flashlight offers more than enough illumination for most tasks, from navigating dark trails to setting up camp at night. The dual-output feature is particularly useful, allowing me to switch between a lower setting for longer battery life and a higher setting when I need more light. This versatility is a significant advantage in various situations, ensuring I'm never left in the dark. The tail switch design of the I3T EOS is another feature that stands out. It provides an intuitive and convenient way to operate the flashlight, making it easy to turn on and off or switch between modes with one hand. This is incredibly useful when I'm carrying gear or need to maintain my grip on something else. Despite its small size, the flashlight feels sturdy and well-made. It's clear that OLIGHT has put a lot of thought into the design and construction of the I3T EOS, resulting in a product that feels reliable and durable enough to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. Moreover, the inclusion of a AAA battery is a thoughtful touch, ensuring the flashlight is ready to use right out of the box. The commonality of AAA batteries also means finding replacements is easy, no matter where my adventures take me. In conclusion, the OLIGHT I3T EOS is a brilliant little flashlight that offers impressive brightness, ease of use, and durability in a compact, EDC-friendly package. Whether for camping, hiking, or just to have in case of emergencies, it's a fantastic tool that I'd highly recommend to anyone in need of a reliable light source.

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.

I have never carried a flashlight as part of my everyday getup. However, after I had to crawl under my wife's SUV for a maintenance issue I realized that I use my phone's flashlight a lot and it really isn't that helpful or practical. So I decided to look for a cheap, small light to carry. I bought my dad a Prometheus light for Christmas this year (another small light) and he really liked it. I thought about buying one of these, but opted away since they are pretty expensive. I found the Olight I3T EOS when looking up cheaper options (and when I say cheaper, like 1/3 of the price!) I am active duty military, so the coyote tan color matches my uniform perfectly. Second, the light is really small, but not tiny. It fits perfectly in one of the pen pockets on my uniform, or I can wear it clipped in my back pocket right next to my wallet and I never even know it is there. It is very sturdy, the metal construction feels good in your hand and it is even serial numbered. The light settings adjust from dim to bright to super bright with just a click of the back cap. Best of all, just one AAA battery is all it needs. I considered getting the USB version, but opted not to and I am glad I didn't. The AAA battery is easy to swap, has no moving piece (there is a slider portion on the USB version) to get broken or dirty, and I saved about $10 just going with the plain old battery powered version. I am on month #2 with one battery. I can't tell you how many times, probably at least 10, that I have needed a light now and realized "oh I actually have a light right here." It is so dang handy and I get lots of compliments from other dudes when I make a job a lot easier with some light. They usually want to see what kind of little flashlight it is when we are done doing something (like jumping a vehicle battery in the dark). Long review - but this little light is worth it. I am looking forward to gifting these this year, as for $20 you cannot go wrong giving this to someone. Great little lights, do not hesitate for one second to pick one up - you will seriously be mad at yourself for trying to use your phone light all these years.

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

Fantastic flashlight! Low weight, not even noticeable in a pocket. Low brightness (1st default) is perfect for finding your way around, locating objects, lighting keyholes, Etc. It’s bright enough to be very useful, not so bright to annoy others nor diminish your night vision when your eyes are adapted to dim light. Bright mode is curiously *bright*! You can light a room, discern objects across ½ acre backyard, Etc. It’s a bit amazing frankly! The beam pattern is ideally dispersed – gradually blending from brightest on-center to evenly dimming at the edges. There are NO abrupt changes in the light level. Not measured, but at about 25’ the beam is about 4’ wide and bright. High quality construction is obvious. Back to not noticeable – I once had it in my pajama pocket and forgot, slept all night with it and didn’t notice! The switch is perfect. Not once in three months has it accidently been pressed. Tactile feedback is perfect in feel, and there is a very soft audible click that would not annoy nor give you away. The timing to change modes is very good, never causing frustration. The light doesn’t get hot in use, immediately replacing it your pocket would not be a concern. If it had a low/medium/high configuration I wouldn’t mind, primarily to have medium to still light well and conserve battery power. The clip at first concerned me as it’s removable, but I don’t dare as I fear that process might bend it. The clip doesn’t interfere with daily carry at all and it is very useful with its two-way design. I’ve clipped it to a ball cap without issue – secure, the weight isn’t noticeable, and the switch can be operated with gloves on. I promptly purchased a 2nd one for my wife, and definitely would again! BTW, I’m using Energizer Recharge NiMH rechargeable batteries and performance is fine. One caveat with NiMH chemistry is the output is even until exhausted, then depleted w/o warning (low mode still works, bright changes to strobe). Having a nearby spare battery and keeping your daily carry battery charged solves that issue. I get several weeks of casual use before checking the battery. I don’t miss the lower voltage of the NiMH chemistry as a trade for rechargeability. I use an Opus C3100 that charges NiMH to neary 1.5v anyway, a perfect combination. I keep Energizer Lithium batteries on standby – temperature resilient and long-lasting, on the shelf and in use. I just don’t like having to throw batteries away.

I have several and find these little flashlights very handy and easy to carry. They are not the brightest but more than enough for most tasks, they work every time, take a beating, and will not make you cry if you loose it. I bought a high power rechargeable battery for mine, works very well.
