I have an old Inova T3 from about 5yrs ago. Approx 80 lumen output - a little dull by today's standards, but it has beem 100% reliable. I note that the model after mine was 100 L then 150 L then 165 L and now 178 L with 3 modes.

I see very little mention of these made in USA lights.

Anyone compared tham to Chinese imports ?

Unfortunately (imho), Emissive Energy sold the Inova light brand to Nite Ize. The lights are now manufactured in China. I love my old X03, Inova is the light brand that had me looking all over the internet and brought me to this forum a couple years ago. I haven't been able to bring myself to "freeze pop" it to replace the old Luxeon III LED with a more efficient and beautifully neutral LED. In their day few other lights could touch the Inova X and T line.

thanks for the update, I'd not realized they had gone to china too

may as well go for better featured chinese lights. I've never had a failure with my Fenix lights, but the new ones all have smooth reflectors - Sunwayman look interesting though
