Yup, that’s it! I went to hear the video again and again last night, and i3T is for AAA and i6T is CR123.
As far as I can tell, by the videos seen, Olight didn’t present any AA/14500 light!
Last night I “resurrected” the possible Tool AA Copper thread, in the hope of something new and improved on that light!
A copper/brass/SS/titanium version with an improved driver (AA/14500) and better UI (even a BLF made one) would be incredible!
The thing is…Lumintop seems to be busy due to the GT and maybe the forthcoming FW3A, so they have few time spare.
Also, with the EDC05, the Prince Mini and the Duke as AA/14500 lights, I’m not sure if they will put much efforts on a new Tool AA… pitty, as a Tool AA like the Tool AAA Ti (metal e-switch button) would be amazing! Imagine that - as stock light - with Crescendo, Narsil/ NarsilM, Anduril…. :heart_eyes:
For now, after modding the Tool AA, I’ve been using it daily, as it has an incredible form factor!
Hum, I know that from Enogear, but the one I linked seems “smaller” (shorter and slimmer).
Also, the mode spacing seems different, as well as the LEDs (Enogear is XP-G2 and the Taobao is XP-G3).
I just can’t determine if the one from Taobao uses TIR lenses or reflector…
The tool AA is a big miss IMO.
The body is super cool, really light and compact form factor.
The tail click is swappable to make it a twisty so it pleases anyone.
BUT UI is Meh, with too high Low and weak High given today standards.
And that clip :person_facepalming: … Seriously, I’ll have to figure how to make a bnetter one if I want to EDC it.
It’s misplaced, flimsy and clipped which make it useless to say the least…
Yeah I know Olight products quite well and did own an S15R (now solde) and still own an S1A.
But what I was hoping when I saw the i6t was that Olight finally made a tail clicky compact AA…
Sorry, I meant to say that on the 2018 Shot Show they didn’t present AA/14500 lights!
Yes, the S15 and the S15R are nice lights! I wish the S15R had a similar UI as the S1R Baton! I wouldn’t search for another light on this category if it existed (I like direct access to ML and to Turbo, and I like hidden strobes )
I should have counted how many times I’ve suggered to my contact to influence the right people at Olight offices to make a slim factor AA flashlight with tail clicky and 3 usable modes…
The recipe is quite simple :
- AA and 14500 compatible
- as slim as possible (think L3 illumination L10C / Acebeam M10)
- good pocket clip with deep carry WITH SCREWS (Thrunite T10 2014)
- Stainless steel bezel
- Nichia 219C or XP-L option (CW+ NW)
- Tail clicky
- 3 modes (1, 50 and 300 lumens on Ni-Mh seems feasible)
- MEMORY
- Less than 30$
Anodized Aluminium Alloy (and then luxury edition in Ti, Cu, Br…)
Except for memory I would drool for a flashlight with these criteria. I have high hopes for the EDC05, and my AA is about to arrive, so we’ll see. Programable memory, or even modes if done simple like biscotti, would be awesome
I think Thrunite, Balder, Fenix, Sipik, Eagletac had lights like these. I don’t think they sold well since clickys are prone to failures. And generally people find them boring to use compared to electronic switches.
