The Edi-T T11 has not been available for a long time. I suspect that they will not be made again.
That is a tragedy 
However, Fancy Flashlights.com still has some of the Yezl T3 @$13.50, delivered. It is the same flashlight, just rebranded.

It is about twice as big as the Olight i1 and the other ultra small models that use CR123/16340.
It has a “soft touch” switch and finding the right mode takes a lot of quick button pressing, as much as 5 taps. One tap brings it on in high. Some patterns start with the light Off and some from High. There is a little abbreviated reminder printed on the light for times when you forget.
As a practical matter, all I ever use are High and Ramping and Zoom.
Modes are:
High
Low
Ramping from High to Very Low
Slow Strobe
Fast strobe
Very fast strobe

I liked my first one so well that I ordered another as a spare.
yup, i actually have that yezl t3. thats what inspired me to get another zoomie hahah.
i liked the size of these 16340 lights and the zoom feature that makes a very small hot spot.
thats all im basically using these lights for, is for the zoom.
so i dont neccesarily need a zoomy, it could be any 16340 light but needs to have a bright small hot spot.
and that x2000 and romisen rc-c6 were the only two i found, but didnt wanna risk it being a piece of junk. do you any of you guys own those two mentioned?
The rc-c6 is a really nice light however it isn’t very bright and the zoom mechanism can be a bit stiff. It’s fine for two hands but not so much for one hand operation.
One great thing about it is that if you own a romisen rc-n3 or buy one, the extension tube fits teh rc-c6 perfectly and allows you to turn it into a 2xaa light as well.
shiningbeam.com sells some custom versions of the rc-c6, and he will also sell you the extension tubes if he has them in stock.
I don’t own it, but I am interested in this cr123 zoomy:
so i just recieved the x2000, and it actually impressed me. i did not think it would be brighter than my yezl t3/edi t11, but it did surpass it by a small margin. it could have just been the cooler tint, but in zoom mode, it is throws noticably further than the yezl t3.
if anybody is looking for a single rcr123/ 16340 light, i recommend this bad boy.
yes, it is kinda sorta big for a 16340 light, but its bright and the zoom mech is small as butter.
