You’re not interested in modding/repairing it yourself? There are plenty of tiny drivers around.
The I3E is so short that Olight had to solder the emmitter (Luxeon) directly on the driver board…
I will take it!
Been wanting a copper aaa light and this looks perfect 
Pm me paypal details!
I received a PM from user : lieber Scholli 4 minutes before your message…
It seems to be gone already, sorry 
You mean like this? 
Yet I would be unable to solder the components, nor to source them in reasonable quantity that won’t make the whole thing 3 times the price of a brand new I3E 
EDIT : but please, feel free to send me one :-p
No worries
Well, I can’t argue with that! Wow! Components must very expensive in France!
No good for you now… you’ve given away your host! 
But, if you seriously want one, I could let one go. Do you want an LED soldered on, or just the driver components?
I guess I’m to late for the Olight host 
Really, where do you find them? I’ve seen a lot on chinese-shops but all sold out.
I was the one who said there were plenty of tiny drivers around. I said it because X3 was giving away his host due to not being able to fix it. I was trying to encourage him that he could fix it by changing the driver. He is in the USA. We have Mountain Electronics. They sell drivers of various sizes and styles.
I don’t know if there are plenty of drivers available to you or not, outside the USA. Do you know how to solder? Build drivers? If so, there are free driver board designs from BLF that are uploaded to OSHPark. You could buy them for $5USD per square inch for three copies, including shipping. Then, you’d have to get components and put the drivers together yourself. The board I posted above is one that I designed with the driver on one side and LED on the other, for lights like this one, that don’t have a separate MCPCB for the emitter.
When I look under the avatar of X3 I can read he is from France?
And yes I can solder but not with such small parts on a such a tiny driver board But no problem, I think I need to look more closely in the internet for a tiny driver board!
OOPS! Yeah, you’re right. His location is France. I don’t know what made me say he was from USA. I just got confused I guess.
Nice patina :+1:
I have bought me a second one, really like this torch :+1:
What does the EOS designation mean—i see it used all over but never defined?
The head of the I3S CU works great on the little I3E host but unfortunately it does not work the other way around
Hello! I am new here. I've been loving flashlights forever but, have just recently made it a hobby and upgraded to some nicer lights. I have this i3e and I really like it a lot, looking forward to getting better runtime with some nimh eneloops I ordered. On another note, the greenmax battery mine came with exploded in my thrunite t01, it didn't harm it though. I've been learning about different chemistry batteries and it is so interesting.
Definition or meaning of EOS ? i see it used with copper but never defined.
I’ve been told that EOS is a Chinese manufacturer, and no doubt numerous ‘name brand’ lights are actually EOS under the skin.
That a pretty common strategy nowadays in electronics and home appliances - one fairly invisible outfit makes them all and rebadges them with various names and minor cosmetic differences for various ‘big name’ corporations. (I wonder how many brands of hair shampoo and motor oil actually all come out of the same tap!)
I’ve seen lights actually branded EOSLamp, and bought drivers thus branded, and to their credit it’s always been top notch stuff.
