Olight i3T EOS Review
Sometimes simpler is better. The Olight i3T EOS doesn't have a dozen modes, strobe, or SOS. It just turns on, lights up the dark, and turns off.
Design
The spiraling knurling on the body provides excellent grip and gives it a unique look. The dual-direction clip allows you to clip it to a hat brim for use as a makeshift headlamp.
Performance
180 lumens from a single alkaline AAA is impressive. It steps down after a while to prevent overheating, but for quick tasks—finding keys, checking under the hood, walking the dog—it's plenty bright.
Verdict
For the price, it's hard to beat. It's reliable, durable, and uses batteries you can buy at any gas station. A solid addition to any keychain or pocket.
