ATN was selling them at the Tulsa Wannemacher's Gun Show last week for 20% off and free shipping.  That was better than the 15% off as listed on the internet.

How do I know that....????

I got an i5R EOS EDC Flashlight with my last order from Olight. It was a tier gift for ordering a certain amount ($299) and my order was 8 cents above that. I got some special Christmas stuff, and other one of a kind items and went a little overboard. These things sell for $35.95 when they aren't on sale and are one of my favorite flashlights as far as size and bang for your buck goes. Instead of using a single AA battery like their 30 buck i5T EOS EDC Flashlight, they use a 14500 lithium-ion battery with a USB-C charging port built in. Instead of a max output of 300 lumens and a max throw of 60 meters (196 feet), the Li-ion battery gives it a max output of 350 lumens and a max throw of 64 meters (209 feet). Not a great distance farther, but ~17% brighter in the same size flashlight, and the battery can be recharged hundreds of times.

These aren't much bigger than the single AAA flashlights, but offer a lot more power. The i3T EOS AAA is a max 180 lumens, and the i3T 2 EOS with a10440 Li-ion battery boosts that to 300 lumens. But the AAA size 10440 batteries I bought at Amazon are only 350 mAh, and the AA size that come with this are 1420 mAh, over 4 times as much, so they'll last a lot longer on high. And on low you get 20 hours at 15 lumens, instead of 21 hours at 5 lumens on the slightly smaller light. I didn't know which color I would get, only that it would be Black, Regal Blue, or Neon Green. Luckily I got Neon Green, the only one I didn't already have, and was waiting on a notification list for when they got back in stock. Instead of the double helix knurling of the others, it has 16 vertical grooves. This may have been something special last year for their 16th anniversary, I don't know. All 3 colors are out of stock now, so it's a good thing I don't have to wait for an in stock notification any more.

Here's what the other Regal Blue and Black ones look like.

I took the black clip off and replaced it with a blue one I previously bought in anticipation of getting another i5R EOS. Here it is next to the i3T 2 EOS that was setting here on my desk. I had to use it again yesterday to find something I dropped while sitting here. That one was well worth the buck it cost when I bought my desert camo Warrior Mini 2. Someone on eBay is selling the camo Warrior Mini 2 for $18 more than I paid for mine. Instead of flat tan on OD green like it looks in the picture, it's more like shiny gold and silver-gray on green. That's what it looks like to me anyway. Maybe not the best camouflage but it looks cool.

Like the Yogi Yorgesson song says I yust go nuts at Christmas. I got a Christmas Gift Box for 100 bucks. It has an Arkfeld Pro Snowflake Green and a one of their new Oclip Pro Snowflake Red lights, and a shiny gold challenge coin. At the last SHOT show all the Olight guys were wearing Oclips and I was like ho-hum, a clip-on light. But now they have the Oclip Ppro with 3 lights instead of 2, and more than twice the battery capacity. It's 2/3 brighter and on high the red light is 10 times brighter. It runs a max 144 hours instead of 30.

More pics. The Oclip Pro has a hinged metal door covering the charging port, instead of a piece of plastic like some other lights. It looks well built, and it charges in an hour and a half. It has a lanyard hole in the clip, and the clip is magnetic, plus it has rubber padding to grip better when you clip it on something.

I wanted to add an Arkfeld Pro Copper Bones edition to my collection but bought that navy blue one at half price and a Halloween version before that, so I had to let this one go. It's limited to 7,000 for the whole world. Beside the 3D skull engraving, it's the first Arkfeld they made from copper AFAIK. It weighs 8.36 oz, more than double what the others do, 3.92 oz . But if it's just setting on a shelf looking cool it doesn't matter what it weighs. 8)
