Olight i3 AAA flashlight £4.95

Just had mine delivered today. Thanks OP.

Lovely little torch, nice weight to it, and several steps above the stuff you get in Deals, Mr. Price etc

Its a great little light just a pity it doesn’t have a low brightness setting. Got a few other bits to get the free postage Got the I1R 2 rechargeable is nice has the low power setting but the battery is tiny. Got a 18650 cell and usb charger too.

There was also a RCA123 cell with magnetic charger and end cap for the S1 Baton or H1 headlamp on offer for free. Want a headlamp but it is out of stock. I’ll order it whenever it comes back in stock.

It doesn't fit the S1 Baton.
Also the H1R headlamp, will have 100 lumens more light than your converted H1, so probably better wait until the H1R is reduced and you will have more light and a spare battery charger for a couple of quid extra.

Seen a review saying that it did but maybe it was for an older model. S1 seems hard get now anyway Mostly only the S1R is available. I probably should have ordered the H1R but then I'd have been at £70 and would have to spend the £100! It's already been expensive weekend! I'll wait and get which ever model is on offer first.

It definitely doesn't fit, I have both in my hand.

Also for consideration, the H2R was £57 in the sale and it's absolutely in a different league to the H1R which is the same price (non sale)

Ordered mine on the 2nd, got it the 4th, I did order 2 other torches along with it as well.

Did the little yellow plastic battery isolator fool anyone else? It took me about five minutes and a few different batteries before I realised it was there and it needed to be removed before the torch would work!

Thanks teotwawki!

Alfie1 · 06-12-2019 10:27pm

The yellow "Read Me" sticker on the plastic case said to remove the plastic insulator

I got mine today, thanks OP :cool:

I'm some dope! I only opened the case enough to get the torch out. I just checked and indeed the yellow sticker is there.

I think we all tend to just reef things out of the box and ignore the instructions!

On a previous torch deal I remember a guy came back onto the thread complaining that it was "dimmer than a dim thing". It was a 3-level torch and he was in the lowest (moonlight) setting not realizing there was two more :pac:

Gumbo · 10-12-2019 12:21pm

Torch arrived yesterday.
Thanks OP.

Such a powerful little device, you wouldn't expect it.

Problem now, is I find myself checking their site daily for another torch

That was me !

This time around I did look at the packaging and saw the info about the little yellow isolator disc.

I remember when I got the first of these kind of torches a few years back I was stunned about the different light levels and other options they had. Previously for me torches just had an on and off button and that's all it did. With some of these torches you really need to study the manual to learn all the different button presses.

Esse85 · 10-12-2019 12:58pm

Unreal beam from such a tiny torch.
Many thanks to the OP

Check out the Emisar D4v2, you'd be lost without the cheat sheet ! It even has little pads so you can flash a new firmware on in the future..

Thanks! Ordered that one too.

Don't get why anyone would want to shine a UV light over their stuff.

I've watched enough C.S.I. to know nothing good ever shows up.

I already got I3E so wanted this one too. For "collection" purposes. I don't actually have use for it to be honest.

It can be really useful. For example with a car coolant leak or home radiator leak. Just add a leak detection fluorescent dye into the system which shows up under UV Light.

I used it recently to find a leak in a pond.

I'm tempted by the H2R alright especially for the extra runtime, was that price on Amazon a few days ago. Think it may be a bit on large size though. Have a silva trail runner about 7 years now still works but coating is coming of the wire. Mostly use it for running and camping. I've one of the Manker AA ones ordered so I'll wait and see how that is.

On subject of Olight bargains got the S2 Baton with holster for £30 delivered. Came with a 3400mh 18650 too even though it didn't list it! 😁 Very impressed with it it's a big improvement over the Ultrafire I got last year

Discount code OLIGHTUK45

If you don't have an 18650 charger you might want to order this instead of the holster

The Perun seems to be the new H2R, it's an endless cycle.

Think, I need to get some therapy for my Olight addiction, before their new year sale starts.

Cheers - just picked up another one of these. Picked up the UV light the first time around. Build quality is def worth it for the 4.99.

Ordering glitch. Bit of a harmless one. It appears you don't actually have to share through FB/Twitter/email to qualify. Just click the share link and cancel. Discovered accidentally...

VanZan · 17-07-2020 5:00pm

I can see the link but then when I log in the button disappears?!?!
