yes, thats also why i went with E3A, i actually prefer single mode for keychain lights, i tried out E01, 3 modes, you have to twist THREE times to get to 100 lm, ridiculous lol
i already got 2, very neat little light, i love it. dont really get to use it much cuz we dont go out much these days lol, but u know, never hurt to have more flashlights just in case.
they also came out with a new E2A, much bigger, not my cup of tea, if im gonna go AA size, i might as well go 18650
I guess I’ll order both the E3 and the E2 to spare some time ordering/shipping
I’m just deciding about the colours.
I don’t really need the E3A, but it will be fun to have
And…you can never have too many lights :smiling_imp:

well E3A is 12mm shorter, so if keychain is what you’re looking for, i believe size is a big factor, thats like the difference of the width of a finger. or thumb if your hand is small lol

I do like the size of the E3A for sure. Do I need the high cri option? It is $3 more.

that depends on your preference, but i would recommend it, i got them.
Really surprised at the lack of love for the Thrunite. Have carried one for years. Great lights. With the free shipping deal you can now get 3 for under $20. It is a very nice light!
well to me, it came down to 3 things, 1. it wasnt free with $6 shipping before, 2. the length, 3. the knurling, pure aesthetics, i prefer the E3A knurling design
The C01s is very nice, but for me is slightly too long for a key chain light. Around 60 mm seems to be my limit. Also since they changed the knurling, now can be a bit too smooth for easy keychain single handed usage. (wish I could get a few more with the original milling). I purchased a number of second generation orange ones for emergency usage, hiking back pack, auto and tackle box and they work great for those purposes.
I have used the i3E EOS for a few years as a keychain light and the Luxeon with the PIMMA TIR has a nice tint and color temp with the right balance of throw and dispersion for a key light. The only down side for me is the smooth indents on the head. I use a small o-ring for grip.
I would be very interested to check out the Skilhunt E3A, it looks very similar in form to the i3E but with a LH351b. The spiral knurling with the parallel secondary cut looks promising. Also may be slightly smaller that the i3E.
