Are any of you still using the Olight i5t eos for everyday use?
300 lumens, two modes of operation, not bad in my opinion. Quite enough.
By the way, in a few days I want to buy a Nitecore EDC 23. Does anyone use it and what are your experiences?

Seems like a really solid light with the perfect UI. Just the right modes for EDC (15lm and 300lm), always starts on low, forward clicky switch, great clip, just excellent. I wish they sold the black version with a black or silver clip. I haven’t bought one myself because I really dislike the soft start feature on High mode.
On EDC23, Nitecore sent me one awhile back. [I reviewed it here](https://tgreviews.com/2024/10/28/nitecore-edc23/) but ultimately didn’t care for it. Here’s the conclusion:
> I like the idea of a shortened version of one of Nitecore’s flat EDC lights, but I don’t think this is a good implementation. The steel makes it heavier than it should be, reduces sustained output, and makes it step down faster. The display is gimmicky and harder to use than simple indicator LEDs. Strobe is too easy to activate. The clip is too long, stiff, and doesn’t carry deep. The lockout switch and shorter length are the only things I think this light does better than the rest of Nitecore’s flat EDC line. Personally, I’d rather have an EDC25 because it’s the same price, about the same weight, performs better, has easier-to-read indicators, lets me disable Strobe, and doesn’t have as many clip issues.
