The aluminium i3T is my current EDC, replacing an aluminium Nichia Tool AAA.

My favourite thing about it is the two-mode UI. I find that for quick EDC tasks I generally want either just enough light to see without disturbing anyone, or as much light as possible.

I’ve found that I don’t really miss the high-CRI neutral white for things I use it for like like checking my letter box and finding things under the couch.

Although I prefer the smaller size of the tool I haven’t found the i3T too bulky.

Having said all that I’m still planning to get both a copper i3T and a copper Tool eventually.
