What owners report
Olight i3T EOS
- ✓Genuinely disappears in a pocket — light enough to forget
- ✓Runs on AAA cells you can buy anywhere
- ✓Excellent tail switch with a clean action
- ✓Moonlight mode low enough to preserve dark adaptation
- ✓Among the brightest dedicated AAA lights, with a durable aluminium body
- ✗Cool white with no high-CRI option
- ✗No lithium-ion support and AAA cells don't last long
- ✗No keyring attachment on the light — you have to use the clip
- ✗Can't tailstand because the switch protrudes
- ✗No lockout at all; unscrewing the tailcap doesn't disable it
