Olight i1R EOS Review

Posted on by

A Review of the Olight i1R EOS USB Rechargeable LED Flashlight for EDC, Backpacking & Camping.

The 5 lumen low mode provides ample lighting for low light chores around camp, with a 7 hour runtime per USB charge.  For high visibility needs, the 130 lumen high mode provides longer distance spotting capability in a pinch, while still being able to run for around 20 minutes.
