iTP A3 EOS

[Cole07]

Just recieved my iTP A3 EOS in the mail today. Thanks to everyone who recommended it! :wave: It is so bright! About as bright as my multimode minimag. Just a question though, does anybody happen to know where they manufacture their lights (what country)? I couldn't find it anywhere on the box and I'm really curious.

 

[gcbryan]

It's a Chinese company isn't it?

 

[Cole07]

I don't even know. Thats why I was asking you guys.

Isn't ITP a division of Olight. Pretty sure they're made in China

 

[Cole07]

Ok. Cool. But anyways I'm loving this thing. It's so tiny and bright!

You may want to try a Quark MiNi AA on a 14500 cell or a Q MiNi 123 with a RCR123 if you like bright.
They both have a nice bright big clean beam in a small package.

An aa cell is to big for a keychain flashlight, and this is my new keychain flashlight.

I also love my A3 Stainless steel. It's been in my keychain since it arrived.

I even love the tint better than my MiNi AA.:twothumbs

Yes it is. Shenzhen China bro. I plan to order 1 myself and mount it on my 4' x .55 caliber target BLOWGUN as it is my only blowgun sans flashlight http://blowgun.lefora.com/2010/01/06/new-hunting-blowgun-for-2010-still-in-the-works-he/page2/

Is is brighter than your MiNi AA? Or close? As I am guessing since its only rated 80 lumens.

You don't need to find a "made in" when a light this good is under 20 bucks...we couldn't do it here for that price.

That is an extremely valid point. But I would spend more money purchasing an American made product rather than buying a cheaper Chinese made product that is still very good and supporting the Chinese economy. If there were a version of this light for $30 made in the U.S., and a $20 version Chinese made, I would spend the extra $10. It is an excellent light though. I do not regret buying it even though its Chinese made.

I feel the same way...just as I will spend a bit more locally for a product than at Costco...in another thread I asked about the Streamlight PT 1L vs. the Surefire E1B...Surefire is made in America but is over 3x the price....with that much at stake, i may have to go with Streamlight...and I like the look of the Streamlight a bit better also...

 

[Cole07]

Thats the way I am too. It can't be way to overpriced like surefires are, but if it costs me 20 dollars extra? So what? I like american made. Not to say there aren't just as good or sometimes better foreign products though.

I really wish I didn't read that. My friend used to have a blowgun that we shot all the time, but that was ages ago. Now reading that an old interest can be combined with my current interest is no good for the wallet.

Hehe copy that Dflyd77 but blowguns are dirt cheap and they are good for your health...And that means you will live longer as a flashaholic. Check out targetzone bro. The truth is I have already reached the thousand mark ratkills last April:naughty:. Greetings from the Philippines every1:twothumbs!!..Btw here is another link to some of my ratkills. Enjoy!http://blowgun.lefora.com/2009/11/01/legends-of-old-age/

I was actually just checking targetzone out, oh man! Lasers, pistol grips, flashlights (not at targetzone however), extensions, the Splatmatic paintball adapter, this deserves a new thread!!!

Please post some shots of your EOS on your blowgun when you get it set up.

Willingly Dflyd77. I am just waiting for the perfect timing if 1 of my friends or relatives abroad comes home. Our postal system sucks and pilferage is quite common. Btw the 14mm diameter of the A3 would mate nicely w/ my flashlight holder. Good evening.

I already have an A3 stainless ... Today , in a moment of weakness I ordered another A3 from Shiningbeam , this time in Titanium ... I didn't need it but we were decorating and i just needed to take my mind off the smell of paint ... We will be decorating for the next few days and I am already looking at the A1 as a "paint distractor".

In the next couple of days , the A1 stainless will be looking wonderful even though I don't like the "dumpy" shape ... There again , when I look at some of my previous lady friends , that didn't seem to bother me then ... At least the torches can be switched off !

I also have a stainless A2 and a black A2 as well , but that was well before the decorating started.
