I5T EOS

Honestly, yeah, $30-ish for a small light seems kinda pricey. I hear Olight is a bit like the "Apple" of flashlights in that they're very pricey, look brilliant and functional well, but there are potential equivalent lights for cheaper. From my experience, however, this light felt WELL worth the price. It was INCREDIBLY durable and VERY bright. It was super easy to use, the clip it came with was SUPER handy because of its two-way usage, and it was VERY small in the pocket. Definitely recommend for EDC. The button is super responsive, and once you get used to it, it's very easy to cycle from low to high output. It's more of a flood light (meaning it spreads light widely across a short distance) which, in tandem with its small size, is incredibly useful for everyday tasks. The battery life is incredible, but do note that the lumens seem to drop as the battery gets lower, rather than having a regulated brightness across the battery life. Even still, though, it remains super bright even after MONTHS of not switching batteries (although, I didn't really use it too month in those months). It's also pretty water proof, as I literally clicked the button several times UNDER WATER, which they don't really recommend, but it maintained its functionality. I EVEN DROPPED THIS THING IN SUPER HOT OIL by accident, cleaning out a fryer, but I was able to use tongs and fish it out. The thing was lit when I dropped it, and it stayed lit after. STILL FUNCTIONS to this day. The button started having issues with "sticking", but after spraying some WD-40 on the button, it worked just like new again. One thing, unfortunately, is that I think the high heat messed with the elasticity or rigidity of the actual pocket clip; after dropping it in the oil, the clip became very loose to the point that I could no longer use it effectively. I only stopped using it because I switched to a larger light, as I started working security. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND for EDC.

Killer lights. The dual function clip is great. I do sometime get it caught on seatbelts getting when putting them on or taking them off. But the ability to use this as a quick headlamp on my hat far outweighs that. The dual level brightness is great as well. These flashlights are my EDC. I say these because I've lost them on my property a couple of times now and bought replacements. Just today my daughter found one that has been outside in the rain and weather for probably 3 months at least. I brushed off all the dirt and mud, clicked the button and it lit right up. They are built to last!! I can't say enough good about them. I use IKEA rechargeable 2450 mAh AA batteries in them and they are a great combo. So great to be able to switch to a standard alkaline battery in a pinch.

I don't view this light as a tactical beast or anything to go clearing houses with, but it is nice to have in the pocket ready to go. Thus I give it 5 starts in the context of what it is and does. Its a pocket flashlight people. The best features of this light are the reasonable size, use of commonly available batteries, reasonable brightness, and the clip. The clip is nice and I don't know why more lights don't incorporate a clip of this type/style-- pocket clip and also can clip to a hat brim so you can go "hands free." If you use this light for any extended period of time (say >5+ mins) the body will get warm. I have not dunked it in water, but it claims to be sealed and you can visually see the orings in the end cap FWIW. For the price its great, and so far for me has withstood about 9 months of everyday carry and use. If it were to break, I'd say it was probably because of accumulative abuse, then come right back to AMZN to buy another.

I own several Olight flashlights, two S2R Baton II's, M2T Warrior, i3T EOS and i3E EOS. I wanted to get the i5 for the high lumens and EDC size. The size and build quality are great. Fits into my jean pocket perfectly without making my pocket bulky. I only wish the 300 lumen lasted longer. Also, it seems like 300 lumens is not bright enough. Now I'm probably spoiled with my other more powerful Olights. But if it was a tad brighter and if the lumens lasted longer, I'd like it much more! But considering the size for EDC and convenience of AA battery power, I'm happy with this purchase!

So I had my trepidations when I purchased this light because I have heard of Olight but I wasn't convinced of their quality over other brands I've used in the past (i.e. Surefire, Streamlight & HDS Systems) so I've been around when it comes to EDC flashlights. But I have a horrible retention on my lights as I lose them which vexes me so. DONT ask me how it just happens. SO I initially bought this light to replace a Streamlight 1LA which is a great EDC light due to it taking CR123 & AA batteries, But I digress. I was looking for something that was comparable but maybe a touch smaller as to make it more comfortable in my pockets. After some searching and not wanting to break the bank I purchased this light. I do not regret this purchase fully, I do wish I would of purchased the rechargeable version as it gave me the option to either use a lithium rechargeable battery or use standard alkaline batteries but at a lost of lumens. But in the time I've owned it and used it this light is great and I love the step up feature it has going from low to high power before you fully depress for a click. I'm still on the same battery I got when I received it so I would cautiously say that the battery life on this light its great. Overall I would recommend this light for a smaller EDC light that doesn't burn through batteries like some other lights. But I would say if you want to use rechargeable and alkaline I would recommend the Olight I5R EOS.

This flashlight is perfect! I work as an inspector for a general contractor and this flashlight gets a ton of daily use. I'm constantly going into basements with no power or other such areas where a light is essential. This flashlight is tiny enough to be super convenient when clipped into my pocket, but bright enough so that I can see everything clearly.

Great, simple little light. The high setting is very bright for a single-AA light, the low setting is bright enough for most situations but dim enough to make the battery last. The beam pattern is pretty diffuse, this thing is no spotlight, but the center is an even circle with soft edges. The light color is slightly on the warm side, which I like. It's well-made and feels solid. The battery cap threads on very smoothly and the battery doesn't rattle around at all. The clip is a nice design, allowing lens-down in the pocket or lens-forward on the brim of a cap. This is a simple light, though. Only two modes, high and low. No strobe or SOS mode. The button is springy with a fair bit of travel, which makes half-press momentary mode pretty easy, and lets you double-tap into high mode without having to fully depress the button twice. The nobbly rubber bit on the end is nice. Bottom line, you could get a cheaper light with more features, but this one will outlast it.

I bought this product a year ago for one of my backpacking trips. After doing my research and asking around I decided that this product would be good to bring along. I was not disappointed. I love this little light! It fits easily into a pocket. The light was very bright for something so small. The casing it comes in is all metal. Which helps with the durability of the light. The two settings on the light were awesome for everything I did backpacking and fishing. One of my favorite features is the clip. Not only does it help to clip it to a pocket. I can easily turn any baseball cap into a headlamp. This was super useful at night when we had to start fires or help with cooking and other chores around camp. Overall I am very happy I purchased this product. I would highly recommend Olight to anyone looking for a product that will survive the toughest conditions. I will definitely buy from them in the future and you should too.

Awesome flashlight, just buy it without second thought

Lo único que no me agradó fue que según el manual la bateria solo aguanta al rededor de 2 horas en el modo de los 300 lumens, a la fecha aún no se agota la bateria con la que venia de nueva, pero fuera de todo por el precio y materiales está perfecta y la recomiendo al 100 %, muy práctica y cabe perfectamente en un pouch o incluso en el bolsillo del pantalón !

Very bright light in such a small body. It has an easy user interface once you get the hang of it.

Son de mayor calidad. Se sientes resistentes. Su tacto y el botón igualmente se perciben de calidad mayor. Están muy bien.

Best for this size.
