What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Olight i3T EOS
โOk, I'm going to get downvoted for swearing on this sub, but here goes... Olight. Specifically, the i3t. Thickness of a pen, common AAA battery and defults to low mode. (*i3t 2 defults to high, but you can change it to start in low*)โ
โThey need to make these lights out of a tougher metal, my olight i3 eos already has some scratches just from rubbing against my keys for crying out loud.โ
