Bought the new Inova T3!!!!

[Mr.Shadow]

Bought the new reflectored T3 and I have to tell you this thing rocks. The reflector has what I would best describe as macro-texturing and though it smoothes the beam beautifully this thing throws like a champ...much farther than the tiros version by eyesight alone. The fit and finish are exceptional even for Inova and their lumen rating should be pretty close to accurate. Plus, keep in mind that the 85 lumens are spread into a very useful beam with a wicked hotspot that travels FAR. I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has the new T1 as I am considering it for edc.

I am glad you like your new light. I have one too and agree with you that the new reflector version kills the old trios version for both usable optics and brightness. Enjoy your light.

Thanks, I didn't know that. It would be nice to see that level of reflector used with a Cree............probably will happen soon enough.

My new reflectored T3 doesn't throw as far as my TIROS-based T3. But the added flood, absence of rings, and the increased runtime make up for that.

My Lumapower D-Mini has far greater throw than the new T3, by the way, even with the orange-peel reflector, and uses only one CR123.

What you really need to do is order an MRV to round out your LP collection.

This is where I really miss flashlightreviews.com
Now who will give us run time graphs and reviews of the new Inova T series?
Is the regulation in the new T series exactly the same as in the old?
Are the CR123A riding on that spring loaded battery contact post like before?
Are the threads on the new T series the same size as the old?
:thinking:

I miss flashlightreviews also. But.....It made me a flashaholic. And my wife is not pleased.

Looks like somebody needs a new avatar.

Or are you the Canadian knock-off of my American made version.:lolsign:

Sorry about "borrowing" the avatar.........I can't find any I really like and I have to admit yours is my favourite so far. If you don't mind I'll only continue to use until I find "my" avatar.

Talk about "thread off course" :laughing:

Mr.Shadow, speak more about your new T3!! Beam shots? Any comparisons?
So little info this early on about the new T3... oh well.

You can "borrow" it as long as you'd like. :buddies:

It's Agent Smith from "The Matrix". If you've seen the movie, you'd know there were more than just one Agent Smith.
