Good point. The i3t with 10440 also cannot compete when it comes to runtime. Still cool to see that little light perform so well for its price and size/weight class, though!
Yes you can put a slightly higher volt cell, but you’re altering the design. I recommend to check your running time when using or you probably melt the circuit board inside.Great lights I own a few of them. 👍
@@TG1980 yes sir it takes it like a champ 🏆 I'm daily using the stainless steel i3t with a10440 and it loves it. The only one I would be careful with is the carbon fiber version, I don't know how well it would dissipate the heat. It would work fine you would just have to make sure it don't over heat. All the other ones even the titanium I've ran on high till the battery goes dead and I haven't killed one yet

@@PardonMyEnglish Yup, the high 500 lumen setting on the WM2. But then in the Short, you mentioned kicking on the Turbo mode on the i3T. Let's turn on the Turbo mode on both of them to make it a realistic comparison.
Somehow I my i3T Carbon doesn't close when it put a 10440 battery inside. I can only screw it halfway closed. Since this is currently my only i3T, I was wondering if the battery compartment of the carbon version may be shorter than the standard version? 🤔
Good question. Unfortunately there is no way to remove the low mode on the i3T. I will say that the low mode when using a 10440 is about as bright as the high mode is when using a AAA battery. Using a 14500 in the i5T does remove the low mode but the light gets hot quickly, so it is not recommended by Olight.
If you have the i3t plus and i5t plus you can run a enlongated cell from acebeam 10900 or from Nicron 10840 or you can run a 10440+ Dummy Cell and a 14509+ dummy cell! That’s what I use on my cateye kinetic tight rear lights they put out more lumens then their stated 150 lumens.
I bought an i5t eos, StarDust but i dont like it. The switch hard to press and the body is too long. Its probably the same for i3... Imo they should continue with the former L15 and S1A Baton AA powered, with magnetic tail and side switch. Also, the sustained output time on high is laughable. But i love these one from them: Baton4, Seeker4Pro, iMini2, Javelot Mini. I also dislike the Baton3ProMax. It get hot very fast on high. Small head flashlights with high lumen output are bad.
I think PK Cell 10440s are a great place to start because you can buy them with a charger for a reasonable price on Amazon. My personal favorites are Soshine LiFePO4 batteries, but they don’t come with a charger. They can be found on AliExpress.
Yeah, let's see it compete with the Warrior Mini 2 on Turbo mode. You know, its absolutely highest output setting. Becomes a different conclusion then, doesn't it.
@@PardonMyEnglish Actually, no it wasn't. You put the WM2 on high mode.... But then compared it to the i3t's Turbo setting. You stated as such in the video. Seriously, there's not point to that. It just gives biased results that no one takes seriously.
Thanks for the super quick reply. I’m gonna pick up the titanium version they’re releasing tonight. Titanium is not nearly as good a conductor as aluminium, so I feel like I may do some heat damage to the emitter if I try to up the output. Though the light does go a lot longer before stepping down than I would guess. Cheers!

@@PardonMyEnglish I read some of the reviews they say it's too small for the light bit I'll take your word for it and I have many many olights so I don't mind burning through a $20 one lol
There is a battery called a 14500 that has a voltage of 3.7 but it is not recommended by Olight. The i5R can use it but there is not much of a difference in output. I actually have a couple videos about this on my channel if you are interested.
Yeah, it’s impressive but the i3T is still amazing with the AAA as well. If you’re curious about heat, runtime, etc., I’ve made a few videos about the i3T + 10440 combo.
Good call. Here is a video I made about it: Low Mode Runtime - Olight i3t with 3.7v 10440 Lithium Rechargeable Cell th-cam.com/video/_RBMqck-AYc/w-d-xo.html
Yes, people have tried this and unfortunately it does not work. Basically the voltage gets doubled when the batteries are stacked and becomes too high for the light to handle.
That’s kinda how I look at it. If you’re interested, I have videos in which the light is tested to see what the LED can handle and how much heat is generated from using 3.7v batteries.
This is dumb, high mode isnt the highest mode, 500 is not beating 1,750 lumens sir, everyday use sure if you dont need 1750 lumen and just 500 but max output is 1750 on turbo mode for warrior mini two, so please compare correctly, one light is at max capacity while other light is not smh. Not a good comparison. Put both on turbo then make your decision.
As I stated, this is simply a video to see if the i3t with a 10440 can compete with the high mode of the Warrior Mini 2. I never claimed it could beat the turbo mode of the WM2.
buddy, I think you missed the whole point of the video. He is saying that a cheap flashlight can preform comparably to the most used mode of a high end flashlight. He never said the i3 was brighter than the WM2.
I agree that the turbo mode of the i3t cannot run as long as the Warrior Mini 2. This short video is just to compare the output/beam of the i3t with a 10440 battery and the high mode of the WM2.
10440 is a game changer. Short distance yes but it can't compete with throw.

There is a i3t Gen 2 which is designed for 3.7 Volt
Best edc light ever 10440 makes the i3t a beast
I have to agree! Lots of great options on the market but the i3t is my personal choice.

The turbo mode on the WM2 is 1,750 lumens, that puts the i3T to shame.
I love the i3T but the WM2 is a powerhouse.
You are right about that! This short was just to compare the high 500 lumen setting.
@@PardonMyEnglish
Yup, the high 500 lumen setting on the WM2. But then in the Short, you mentioned kicking on the Turbo mode on the i3T. Let's turn on the Turbo mode on both of them to make it a realistic comparison.
@@NGMonocromone is $20 the other is $100 don’t forget that. For the price it’s really fair comparison!
i will only use iT3 with official supported batteries. i just love the iT3 ngl
Looks very similar!
Yeah! I never thought I’d be comparing these two lights, but the i3t can keep up - at least for a little while.
Somehow I my i3T Carbon doesn't close when it put a 10440 battery inside. I can only screw it halfway closed.
Since this is currently my only i3T, I was wondering if the battery compartment of the carbon version may be shorter than the standard version? 🤔
Interesting. I wish I had a carbon version to compare. Plus they look awesome!
Is there a way to eliminate the low mode making it high mode only ? Like the old stream light microstream
Good question. Unfortunately there is no way to remove the low mode on the i3T. I will say that the low mode when using a 10440 is about as bright as the high mode is when using a AAA battery.

You can reprogram the board so that it goes high mode first. That’s about as close as you can get to removing the low mode.
If you have the i3t plus and i5t plus you can run a enlongated cell from acebeam 10900 or from Nicron 10840 or you can run a 10440+ Dummy Cell and a 14509+ dummy cell! That’s what I use on my cateye kinetic tight rear lights they put out more lumens then their stated 150 lumens.

Con la batería de 3.7 fundiras el led
That is a valid concern but the LED does not overheat.
It won’t melt. I’ve been carrying and using my i3t with 10440s for months. It works great.
Not put the warrior on turbo if you’re comparing apples to apples
The WM2 is much brighter on turbo, but as I stated this was just a comparison with the high mode output.
Ok
Overvolting that light voids the warranty.
Yes, this is a risk. Fortunately I haven’t had any issues up to this point.

@@PardonMyEnglish yes
Made in China
Correct. Just like the phones and computers we type these comments with.
