Review: itp A3 eos upgraded

How does your mode switching work? From all the reviews, it seems like it goes from med->low->high. Mine actually goes from low->med->high. I can't see the PWM or hear any buzzing sounds that people have been talking about. I emailed goinggear.com and they said the new ITPs have the new modes of low->med->high.

No, mine is MED-LOW-HIGH

The only A3 that are coming with new circuitry (HIGH frecuency PWM and modeorder as LOW-MED-HIGH) are only the maratac AAA Cu version.

The A1 and A2, have the new circuitry from the begining.

Mine also comes with the keychain from the A1 like yours.

OK, perhaps new driver boards are coming with high frec PWM but continues having modes as MED-LO-HIGH.

Yours is alu or SS?

This is the one I have: http://goinggear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_19&products_id=255

I also have the one from Going Gear and it's on one of my keychains. It also starts in Med then Low then Hi but that doesn't bother me. I did change the keychain to something more convenient but all in all, it is a wonderful, bright and tiny little torch. And if it goes on sale somewhere, I will buy a few to give away as gifts.

Can you see the PWM on low and med?

I actually had to look up PWM. Embarassed

Anyway, I don't notice anything other than a steady low or steady medium light.

So I guess iTP A3 EOS' has GOOD PWM right?

When you look at the light output, do you notice any flickering (sort of like strobe but very subtle)?

Not at all. Do you?

Nope. Was wondering because the older models had that effect.

Good for us we have the newer 'upgraded' ones. Smile

I'm not really liking my low->med->high. I would rather have it start in med first.

I myself would prefer high-med-low.

I have a 10440 in mine because it weighs 4 grams less than alkaline/NIMH. On high, it's tremendously bright and gets hot within seconds. Med seems to be ok. If I were using an alkaline/NIMH, I would also like it to be high-med-low.

I don't have any 10440's yet so high using a nimh would be perfect for me. But as soon as I do get me some 10440's then I'll probably be happy that mine starts out in medium.

I'm using the blue Trustfire 10440 http://www.buyincoins.com/trustfire-10440-aaa-3-7v-600mah-rechargeable-lithium-battery-blue-4pcs-product-241.html

They fit perfectly.

Thanks for the link midieval10!

I don't notice the PWM on mine unless I wave my hand in front of it and I get a sort of strobe effect. Mine is MLH. Honestly, I'd rather have LH. Maybe HL. If I want M, I can put in a AAA battery. Fran82, the 10440 is impressive. I wouldn't use for that long at a time though. The A3 is great. I carry one every day and gave away a handful of them at Christmas.

No problem! You will be amazed at how bright that little light is with a 10440. Just don't run it for too long on high or you won't be impressed with no light coming out of it
