Gywneth Paltrow, Kirsten Dunst and Jennifer Aniston are already fans... now Victoria Beckham puts super-slimline figure down to new veggie-rich pH Miracle alkaline diet!

Flashlights. I like them, use one almost every day, and I've written about three of my flashlights before (<a href="http://dailyacquisition.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-newest-edc-light-eagletac-d25a-mini.html" target="_blank">link is here</a>). The EagleTac D25A Mini flashlight mentioned in that post is a nice torch, but for various reasons I don't carry it often. Reason 1: my front left jeans pocket is where I carry my flashlight and my phone, and there isn't enough room to comfortably carry the EagleTac (it's a fat AA light). Reason 2: the butt end of the EagleTac has a "sharp" edge that scratches my baby soft hand skin from time to time when I reach into my pocket. Reason 3: I find that my smaller AAA flashlights generate more than enough output for my everyday needs.<br /><br />What does all of this mean? Why, a new AAA flashlight of course. I've had this little gem for a while, but have been too lazy/busy to write about it. I've carried and used it enough to say with utmost certainty: "the Olight i3S AAA flashlight is very nice."<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnhfzig0S1ewvZbb3P9KUeL4YY37RqLsIG_L_rTZ60lwHH4s5bYssAYsrr_FfeYyjXOXpnuYwEFppicDYBqNh4l7scguaQ3mCtS2Qjlg-nfY1Zau88baXwixTI-85hfEjr3B0NvTPuM4k/s1600/20131010_002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnhfzig0S1ewvZbb3P9KUeL4YY37RqLsIG_L_rTZ60lwHH4s5bYssAYsrr_FfeYyjXOXpnuYwEFppicDYBqNh4l7scguaQ3mCtS2Qjlg-nfY1Zau88baXwixTI-85hfEjr3B0NvTPuM4k/s1600/20131010_002.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />The i3S is an update of Olight's i3 flashlight, which had some shortcomings. The i3S is available in several different colors, including the shiny blue version I acquired. Features and specs of interest include: Cree XP-G2 LED emitter; three output modes (0.5 lumen moonlight mode; 20 lumen low mode; and 80 lumen high mode); snap-on pocket clip; keychain. The Internet tells me that the i3S goes for about $25.00 (as of April 2014).<br /><br />The i3S is very compact. It is about 70 mm long, and it's noticeably shorter than my Preon P1 (also a AAA flashlight).<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgReV1NyRGkgrsWkoTTPospCUvfrdFv0Yz397BZk-jFvitH1EB-jxT259g5H50w6TJP6H-MEW31rIoa0EGx_hdbaqPmPGjcqFRTIsh7y3ZcY8COu-RrFZK7gNUtdfVLkDSNsKsumyMD9-g/s1600/20131010_004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgReV1NyRGkgrsWkoTTPospCUvfrdFv0Yz397BZk-jFvitH1EB-jxT259g5H50w6TJP6H-MEW31rIoa0EGx_hdbaqPmPGjcqFRTIsh7y3ZcY8COu-RrFZK7gNUtdfVLkDSNsKsumyMD9-g/s1600/20131010_004.JPG" width="150" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">AAA Battery, i3S, Preon P1</td></tr></tbody></table>What's to like about the i3S? I personally like the reversible clip, which can be handy when I need to fashion a headlamp out of a baseball cap. The keychain is nice and sturdy, although I removed mine. The back end of the i3S is flat (good for tailstanding) and it has a smooth rounded edge that plays nice with my soft and supple skin.<br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRJpQafp_hZzUAhhcCB3JDTAwmmjAa-IzFHpKo-hxJ2f6CdN2jcCy57wArq0hak0d0fXLptx9qlezt-rmh1KssRkMnfAJvk7wH0dkz3FWoCeGr8bRtIIEnVcAfYqAby5qyPLemDbcCoF4/s1600/20131010_003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRJpQafp_hZzUAhhcCB3JDTAwmmjAa-IzFHpKo-hxJ2f6CdN2jcCy57wArq0hak0d0fXLptx9qlezt-rmh1KssRkMnfAJvk7wH0dkz3FWoCeGr8bRtIIEnVcAfYqAby5qyPLemDbcCoF4/s1600/20131010_003.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I really like the moonlight mode of the i3S, which outputs a mere 0.5 lumens. Some may think that 0.5 lumens is useless, but I think it's a great option for times when you don't need a strong blast of light. My only gripe is that it takes three twists to reach the moonlight mode . . . the twisty UI of the i3S cycles through the following sequence: Low > High > Moonlight > Low > High > Moonlight > Strobe. I understand why the sequence begins with Low, but I kinda wish it started on Moonlight. Don't get me started on the ridiculous Strobe mode. Oh well, perfection is hard to find.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBro-FjRDuG94KiS5Weoo__8WJnMjzTt6vkaWnPFdKgfcLnOG9rN0nCUvevrZJhPpJrodtYzdLS7ieC3Usm4MJ4F0pIsRi5j5Mu312-QhBR1u3gMkMXIVoyeuWCnM0Ot5ud9MeXge7Bc/s1600/20131010_001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBro-FjRDuG94KiS5Weoo__8WJnMjzTt6vkaWnPFdKgfcLnOG9rN0nCUvevrZJhPpJrodtYzdLS7ieC3Usm4MJ4F0pIsRi5j5Mu312-QhBR1u3gMkMXIVoyeuWCnM0Ot5ud9MeXge7Bc/s1600/20131010_001.JPG" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Small Things Come In Small Packages</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One final note. Olight packages the i3S in a cool plastic box that includes a AAA battery. This is a nice touch, although simpler packaging might result in a lower price point. Whatever, for $25.00, the i3S is a great buy. Overall, I'm impressed and very satisfied with the i3S.</div>
