More pictures in comments. This picture is Olight S1R Baton II (left) vs Rovyvon A23 (right). The Rovyvon uses a Nichia 219C emitter in cool white (about 5700K iirc).)
It’s the same complaint you hear time and time again, emitters with awful tint and CRI. When I was still new all I cared about was Olight, so I’ve amassed a pretty significant collection. It was only when I first tried a Hank light with Nichia 519A emitters that I finally understood why tint and CRI matters.
Also, now that I’ve learned the Anduril 2 UI every other light just feels limiting.
To be honest, I really like the form factor on the Baton series lights. The UI on their lights is dummy simple, and I don’t even mind their proprietary charging methode too much. I just really can’t stand their choice of LEDs.
I like the i3t as a bright little pocket light, I keep one in a pouch just befause it’s 'ol reliable and I don’t care if she gets scuffed up. The UI on it is fair enough, two modes is easy to use, and I think the momentart on is useful for easily switching to high mode.
Also can’t really fault the i3t for a cheap and cheerful throwaround.
When there’s only two modes, lack of memory doesn’t really bother me.
For regular use I find my Lumintop Tool 2.0 to be preferable. It’s not apprecably bigger, lasts longer, remembers what mode I left it in, and costs about the same. To each their own, but I can’t imagine giving the i3T either memory or, if one insists, only a single mode would have made it cost any more. Mine languishes unused in the bottom of a desk drawer someplace.
A coworker of mine carries a larger Olight (I don’t know which model) and he’s had it go off in his pocket when “locked” to the point of melting holes in at least two pairs of pants… That alone has prevented me from buying any of their other lights since they all by and large seem to use that same side switch.
I’ve never had that problem with any of my various lights.
