5 Reasons Why the i3T is still the BEST EDC AAA / 10440 Flashlight

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Any i3T fans in the house?

[@rhinosaurus1496]

Why, yes. Black I3T 2 in my pocket right now, with a 10440. Original I3T, and a Dragon/Phoenix I3T 2 on my flashlight rack in the other room.

[@itsallasimulationman]

The original has lived on my belt for years. Hard to find a reason for upgrading, to be honest, unless I lose the first.

[@ravenovatechnologies6554]

i3T absolutely rocks. Its absolutely my go to most days.

I own a lot of different lights… but I agree… it’s the best AAA/10440 light on the market… now the I5T/R definitely needs some upgrades… they are blown away by some other AA/14500 lights… enjoy the channel… keep up the great work!!!

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Thank you 🙏

[@carlbrickey2102]

I agree with you that the i3T 2 is the best AAA/10440 on the market and that Olight needs to upgrade the i5R/T as it has become outclassed by the competition. I am also a big fan of Olight's Diffuse but that is a different type of light.

[@rst5nn]

Why it does not have mid mode like 80 or 50 lumens?

[@xLTxVEGAx]

My i3t has been my daily carry with a 10440 for over 2 years now. I have the baton 3 pro but I definitely prefer to have the smaller form factor of the i3t.

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Solid. Nice to have the option for a larger light if you wish but I’m with you. Realistically I definitely prefer the i3T in most cases.

I recently got the i3t 2 eos because it was free (using O coins). There's nothing wrong with the older version, but the new ones are rated for 10440, and that lifetime guarantee is nice. The 10440s are what I usually run in them. I like the simple user interface and dual light power levels. I carry the i3t 2 eos, the Wurkkos TS10, and when going outside, the Wurkkos TD04 is usually added. My keychain also has the Boruit V3. Sometimes I'm carrying more flashlights 🔦 than knives 😂🔪

[@BeLIEveYourMasterz]

I'm a huge i3t fan I've had 2 now cuz my kids lost the first one. Got 5 kids and were not poor but on an extremely tight budget. The lighting in my house and truck sucks. I use the i3t everyday. I love it cuz it fits on the brim of my hat like 10,000 other light but the i3t is stupid light it doesn't drag your hat down. 2 modes low is great for groceries and kids in car seats. Best light I've ever had limitless possibilities!!!!

[@aceofspades1002]

Great flashlight both versions

[@hastinglebreton6522]

Hey....i am a light collector....i have two i3t and just one i3t 2 in brass....beautiful.....i don't serve it often, cause i have a lot of light différents...but it is a very good and there is not elecricity....this is what will be used ! Good job for your video and big Kiss to FRANCE ❤😂

[@gurdygurds6383]

I ordered a few of these and a second I3e because of your videos. Great content! Did you paint the yellow on your brown I3T or did it come that way?

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Thank you! Yes, I painted the yellow onto the i3T.

[@mhsvz6735]

You make a compelling argument for the i3T. I have version 1 of the i3T, but have moved on to the Lumintop Tool AA version 3. Both great flashlights though.

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Agreed!

[@gregcushing1716]

I3t-eos is the best Edc light going , Rocking a 10440 . 💥💥

[@PardonMyEnglish]

I have to agree!

[@SirTickleTots]

I’ve had an i3t for about 6 or 7 years. Had the clip break on my once a few years back but aside from that no issues until recently. The button cap is getting a bit sticky and slow. I’m gonna buy a few more of these and leave em around the place.

[@carlbrickey2102]

I agree! The Olight i3T 2 is the best AAA/10440 flashlight on the market. A great upgrade of an already good flashlight.

[@toolofoppression]

I bought an i3T like 4 years ago during an Christmas sale, wasn't really my top option I was looking at for a new edc light but I quickly found it was what I put in my pocket everyday, usually with a 1.2V NiMH. I've dropped it so many times and it literally has dents in it but always works. Got a i3T 2 when they came out and have carried it everyday since with a 10440. I'd love to see a version with a zoom function.

[@olajohnny]

Still my favorite small light to 😊

[@PardonMyEnglish]

🤜🤛

[@MrWeisser22]

I tried to carry the i3t but I always go back to my microstream with a10440 in or my microstream usb

[@martynwalklett856]

Have you tried A 10440 rechargeable battery in the carbon i13t , would be interested to know how it handled the heat

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Good question! Unfortunately I do not have the Carbon fiber version.

[@pancakeayaka]

i3T2 is my favorite AAA/10440 flashlight now. The new pocket clip and high/low setting is a big improvement. I hope Olight would make reflector thrower version.

[@sarge27271]

I still love mine. Works awesome with a 10440.....If I need more, I have a Baton Pro. Olight makes nice lights. Cheers BTW, since you mentioned purchasing power of the USD, I thought I'd ask, Do you have 'Metals'? Specifically Ag? Cause you should. It's one of the only ways to protect your purchasing power. Stay Safe.

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Right on! Thanks for the tip 👍

[@t5king850r]

I like the i3t.2 especially the brass 2024 model it starts off in high or low but I still have some i3t version 1 in my collection mainly limited ones.

[@swynty777]

Based flashlight, throw it on my hat sometimes, love the feel of it too.

[@My.Phone.]

The Amazon link for the 10440 batteries are sold out on Amazon. Do you have another recommendation on how to get them?

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Thank you for the heads up! I have updated the link.

[@adhdhobbyguy6063]

the i3t or i3t2 are my daily carry. such a great flashlight in such a tiny package.

[@PardonMyEnglish]

🤜🤛

[@adamgilbert7527]

Still rock the i3t a lot. I've been using the oclip in the same way i used the i3t in the past. I like the red light for preserving night vision around the house. I've been in a rotation between the i3t, oclip, and baton 3 for a long time now.

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Nice!

[@user-ov4um8uk6u]

I love the i3t and after seeing your videos I too use a 10440 cell in mine and it works wonderfully. I like it so much I have an i3t plus in bamboo on the way. in searching the web no one has done 10440 tests in an i3t plus. If you havea video on it, I haven't found it, or any others for thet matter. Care to do one of your great 10440 tests in an i3t plus? 3:14 3:16

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Nice! The Bamboo i3T Plus looks really nice 👍 I have not tried the i3T Plus yet but I don’t think 10440s will work in it. Basically, when batteries are stacked, the overall voltage gets doubled. I don’t think the light internals would be able to handle the voltage because it would be around 7.4v or so. I personally would not risk trying it but hopefully that info helps.

[@user-ov4um8uk6u]

@@PardonMyEnglish That helps a lot. Then I don't think I'll risk it by putting 10440's. Guess I'll find some nice AAA rechargeables instead. Thank you so much for the quick reply. Really enjoy your channel and the information you provide. Keep up the fun.

[@user-ov4um8uk6u]

Now the search for a 10880 I guess. See that pineapple light has one, but seem to be a rare find in the wild. The search begins.

[@pablofranco2692]

The I3T will always be one of the best 10440/AAA lights on the market for the money. Output and runtimes are great. I have been rocking the Weltool T1 pro tac which is a monster thrower in a AA form factor

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Sweet! I haven’t checked out the Weltool T1 yet but I’ll look into it.

[@RobEDC]

Personally, I've moved on from the i3T and i5T/R as my main EDC lights because of the horrible green tint. It doesn't seem bad in and on itself, but once you do a side-by-side with other lights/emitters, it becomes really obvious and kinda hard to ignore. In my personal loadouts, the i3Ts have been replaced by the Reylight Pineapple Mini and Streamlight Microstream and the i5R was replaced by the Acebeam Pokelit. I don't see myself going back to the i3t/i5T unless Olight gets the a grip on the tint issue and fixes or changes the emitters.

[@Max-ni3lt]

My current edc is the arkfeld pro and sometimes the warrior 3s, if i want something really compact id rather use the i1r2pro (neck carry)

[@PardonMyEnglish]

Nice!

[@NorthBorneoLights]

i3t is probably not only one of the best AAA lights with a tactical switch - I reckon it may even be one of olight's best overall. Especially considering the price, and I'm not even kidding. It's a shame they won't adopt different emitter options because the i3t in particular is a bitch to do an emitter reflow on.

[@JonBonynge]

No more love for mine. Moved on from ugly tint.

[@PardonMyEnglish]

No worries. Have you found an alternative that you like?

[@JonBonynge]

Pineapple mini for tiny but edc either skilhunt m150 or emisar d3aa
