“Free” Olight I3E EOS (Desert Tan) - closed

Mine can, but I naturally turn it past that, so it typically doesn’t. Another 1/16th of a turn and it won’t.

I detect no green on mine - just a pure white.

I don’t see any green either, quite yellow actually outside of the hotspot. I actually think I will put some dc-fix on the lens. This seems like a light that would be nice to have a big hotspot.

Yes, it is amazingly white with no tint anywhere.

Wish mine had a hint of tint. :innocent:

—why is green a no-no for flashaholics, I wonder?

With my A01, I always hold the head back while turning off, so that I’ll always turn it past the “bump it on” point.

After playing with it ,(probly broke it in a bit ) I can now ,but yes twist it slightly more & it won’t.

@Starkm32
I ordered from Germany and only payed 4,95€ for shipping.
Does anybody know what led they exactly used? CCT, CRI . . . .Version?

I ain’t got a scooby ,but I would say it’s cool white but on the neutral side of cool.

I’m a victim of the tint lottery I fear :cry:

That’s unlucky , unfortunately we only paid postage & it will cost again to send back even if they accept.

Philips LUXEON TX is all they listed on the original add.

Data sheet here shows:

[quote] 70, 80 and 90CRI minimum and full CCT range available [/quote]

Without contacting Olight, I don't think we know which CRI/CCT they used.

Yes so very true. For $5 I can live with it :slight_smile:

I was hoping Maukka or one of the other with the right equipment bought the light and put it on the test bench.
Would be interesting to know what led they used. I would for sure not complain about the 90CRI 5700K version :smiley:

Lol, spam is not the word 5 times a day!
I did /was going to post this, then I deleted it.
Now I love flashlights as much as the next flashaholic, but 5 emails a day from 1 brand…… - there was a film ‘how to lose friends and alienate people’ maybe Olight should change tact or their tagline will be ‘how to gain customers and lose them immediately’ :smiley:

That’s the price we’ve payed for a free torch lol
But the unsubscribe button is easy to push , I haven’t done it yet ,I ve just been deleting them as they come.

I don’t think I’m getting hit that bad by them, I was for about 3 days but before and after that I don’t think it was even daily. Now Battery Junction on the other hand hits me at least 1-2 times a day.

I haven’t got hit once yet by them, well, at least not SPAM. The only emails I have received are to confirm my registration, to confirm my order, to tell me when the order was shipped, and one more yesterday to tell me it had been delivered. :partying_face:

My Olight i3e has a nice, cool-side-of-neutral tint. Compared to my Astrolux A01, it looks a bit cooler and makes the A01 tint look a bit green in comparison. My A01 is sporting a Nichia 219C. I have the original cell in the i3e right now, but I’ll replace it with a Energizer Ultimate Lithium probably in the next day or so. Or maybe a Eneloop Pro Black AAA. I’m hoping to see a nice boost in output. Right now, the hot spot is the same size as the A01 and to my untrained eye, it seems as bright. The A01 has a larger, brighter, and more defined corona, whereas the Olight i3e fades (nearly) smoothly from hot spot to a faint spill. But the A01 already has a Energizer Ultimate Lithium in it. Since it is made entirely of heavy copper, I’m surprised the i3e competes and especially with an inferior battery!

The threads of the i3e are anodized and seem nice and tight. They don’t have nearly as much play in them as the threads in my A01. I can turn the head of the Olight just a bit past off and never worry about it bumping on. Overall, the light appears to be well engineered and well made, as usual for Olight products (at least products I’ve used). I’m very happy with it, for $5. :money_mouth_face:

Received mine today!

Great tiny keychain light :+1:

Mine arrived a few days ago and almost everybody is really happy with it.
