Olight I3E EOS specifications

The I3E EOS flashlight enhances safety. It illuminates hazards and improves visibility in low light.

Body, materials, weight, colors

The flashlight weighs 19.4 g. It is lightweight and easy to handle for most people. A smaller flashlight is easier to carry in a pocket, bag, or pouch. This makes it more convenient for everyday use or when you're on the go. The aluminium body of the I3E EOS has a reputation for being durable and strong. It offers excellent resistance to impacts, scratches, and corrosion. Factors can influence the color choice of the flashlight body. These include intended use, environment, personal style, and requirements.

System, LED, lens, reflector

Warm, white light is generally more comfortable. It's also less harsh on the eyes than cool, white light. The TIR lens makes the LED light collimated. It does this into efficient, well-controlled beams. These beams maximize the usable lumens in the target area.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

90 lm can provide a decent amount of brightness and be suitable for many everyday tasks. 500 cd can make things quite bright. It's enough for many everyday tasks. The throw is the distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. Candela per lumen (cd/lm) measures a flashlight's beam intensity. It compares this to its total luminous flux or output.
