Vastlite i7 EDC Torch Review

[TimMc]

The Vastlite i7 is a reverse-clicky AAA-sized EDC torch with a unique design! It has a really cool tail switch with a magnet built-in.

It supports multiple battery chemistries but there is no low voltage protection. Luckily protected 10440 3.7V Li-ion cells with USB-C charging built-in are available these days.

The output is well regulated:

This version of the Vastlite i7 is geared towards high performance.

The cool white Osram GW PUSRA1.PM P8 emitter and TIR optic help achieve that.

flashlightgo kindly sent this torch for review.

Vastlite i7 EDC Torch Review

[Kazik]

My Lumintop Tool AAA died some time ago…
Nice tailcap design, modes seems well spaced, there’s NW option, hmm…
Judging by photos - threads are anodized so there’s mechanical lockout? That’s a must have for me in such EDC.

[TimMc]

Yeah, the head threads are also anodised so you could unscrew it slightly to disconnect the tube from the driver. That said, you’d need to fully press the switch to turn the light on.

Thanks for clarification and review

Thanks for your thorough review, the combined clicky + magnetic base is interesting indeed.

But it looks like you’ve got an older version on review ? The newest one is only available in black, as per the manufacturer. It also features different engravings.

Yeah, I received an early sample a few months ago. I’m still catching up on reviews.

Vastlite asked for some feedback about the design and proposed multiple patterns for the head, tube and tailcap.

Aha! I was wondering where Countycomm was getting this AAA light from… I should have guessed considering they have their own Minimal Bow, too.
