Olight iMorse - The keychain light perfected!

I have no idea what you're talking about with your statistics but I like what I'm hearing lol. Just ordered 3 of them.

Great video thanks! Im getting the imorse copper version in a few days!

There is not 2 Width measurements on anything lol. The long side of the object is ALWAYS the length of the object. Not Width Squared HAHAHA

Does it have a battery indicator?

Great review, olight is really amazing when it comes to packing great tech into small packages, they aren’t perfect, but their housings are great and they have good deals during sales. Glad you reviewed this because I honestly had no idea that it was a neutral light. Great stuff man keep up the good work 😁👍

Nah your wrong, the absolute best keychainlight is the Nitecore Tini2, and I have tried about 10 of them, keep coming back to the Tini2!

Is this item no longer available on OLIGHT?

After seeing this I’m a little bummed I missed out on this deal. I figured it was just a limited design change from the i1r2 pro, which I already had. Wish they had focused on the emitter when selling this light. While this and the i1r2 pro are pretty good lights, actually put an old streamlight stylus pocket clip on mine and used a piece of heat shrink to connect a quick release keychain magnet on the tail end. Makes it a tadd longer, but meh now I can quickly detach the light from my key ring while the keys are attached to my belt loop and the pocket clip is to be able to use as an improvised headlamp. Then I can sweep my light across my keys and the magnets attract one another. Works way better for me.

Only one problem - what is a keychain? I haven’t had house keys in 20 years. My car uses my phone to start. I guess I could clip it to my jacket zipper.

Love my olight.

Looks like a great update to my current daily keylight the i2r I got for free! I managed to replace the battery on my "non replaceable" i1r light so it may still be possible.

Got mine free for ofan day. No purchase necessary just had to have previous orders. Paid shipping and that was all. I really enjoy this light. It’s on my keychain that I clip to my pants all day and I don’t even feel it. It’s gotten me out of jams when I forgot my edc. Good little light

You can open the other end instead of tearing open.

Got me one.. waiting for it to come in. I also got the imini tiny, Array 2s headlamp, Baton 3 Pro, Gobler Safety Light, and the new Sigurd Angled Grip Light.

The twisting looks interesting, but is there a “stop” after each mode? And twisting still requires 2 a hand operation, so it won’t be as good as those one handed operation for when your hands are full right?

Not a very objective review. Not one negative / neutral statement. Seems, that it is more important to please Olight and get some money from their affiliate program. I prefer bottoms above twisty, the old Olight always got the problem, that it gets loose or get accidentally on, because it is compressed vertically…

Any light with a twist interface is immediately disqualified from "perfect" imo 😆

Fine review and nice little light. The non-replaceable battery is a deal breaker for me though. Even if it's a small and not very expensive light the body and the led will last way longer than the battery. Throwing it away when battery is done breaks both my environmental and financial standards.

Olightstore changed my "free" iMorse in my cart into a "free" iMini while I was looking at other deals. What a disappointing downgrade. Was going to grab a Baton 3 Pro but just lost all interest in this sale.

Don’t you have a light on any mobile phone?

The two lighting levels are a welcome feature in a small light.

Not a fan of the USB rechargeable as it means the battery cannot be swapped on the go, and once the battery is dead, the entire light is dead. That said it is nice that it can be recharged on the go.

Size is honestly nothing to write home about. It is larger than competing lights like the Skilhunt E3A and even Olight's own i3e EOS (both are >1cm³ smaller).

More importantly the built-in battery argument doesn't hold any water as the iMorse's battery only packs [email protected], so 468mWh. In comparison, a 1.2V, 900mAh AAA would pack over twice as much energy at 1080mWh, and a light that supports 350mAh 10440 li-ions would contain even more. They do save some space by not having threads and a using a lighter battery enclosure, but it's all negated (and then some) by the need for a built-in charging circuit, which is why they end up only being able to cram 468mWh in there.

Can you turn it on / off using one hand only?

You can also turn the head to ‘just off’ and that will allow you to quickly press the head down for a momentary on function. Which also allows for one hand operation.

Is the battery capacity advantage over the 10180 due to the chemistry, or is olight actually packing in more battery volume? It's not clear what you are saying.

I own every keychain Olight they've released over the last few years, and all are excellent. I prefer the original i1R as it's the smallest and also has a nice NW emitter, but the iXV (which is identical to this, and is itself just a NW version of the i1R2 Pro) is also very good.

If I may, I think many people perceive you as "selling out" to Olight mostly due to the very positive tone of your video, it does honestly come off a little like a sales pitch rather than an objective review - comparisons/meaurements notwithstanding. It's particularly offputting when you're also pushing an Olight sale, which on the surface just screams "sponsorship" regardless of intention.

With such a popular brand as Olight, anything other than intense critical scrutiny will call into question the nature of your relationship, simply due to their reputation. IMO, the best way to overcome this is to adjust your presentation and internally frame your analysis as though Olight is aiming to rip you/your viewers off, and you're here to protect them and point them towards the best value, while making Olight earn their place as the big brand it is... if that makes sense.

No doubt thees are great lights, and I believe you are being honest with everything you're saying, and agree personally with your assessment. I just think there might an issue with presentation and sudden saturation of Olight videos. But then again, someone online will always get upset and you just can't win sometimes 😅

Order is in with Olight. I picked up the new Baton 3 Pro & a few other goodies. And of course...got my free iMorse. 😎👍

theres nothing sexy about square lights

the i3t doesnt have a head that comes off. the i3e does

Grear video! Short, sweet, and easy to digest.

This light wasn't even on my radar. I don't need a keychain light right now but I'm happy to know of one I can recommend one to a friend. I lost half of my i3E a few years ago and haven't recommended it to anyone since.

Congratulations on getting to host a contest! That's a big sign that you're doing a great job!

I've got quite a few of the previous verison and latest verison.

Ordered the copper iMorse and getting the black one free. I'm a little excited :)

I have the ir2 and i don't see too much difference. Its a pretty great keychain light and it never self activates. I got it for free when I purchased the warrior 3 before the s version came out.

This is starting to turn into an Olight marketing channel. Please don't sellout.

I like how you didn't include the RoyVon Aurora A3 @ 650 lumens & 350 mAh! Not only is it smaller, it has different emitter options!

Is it the same as the Olight iXV? I get the impression it is.

this channel is turning into an olight shill. that olight kickback is too hard to resist eh

seems to me it is basically an i1R 2 Pro, but with a limited edition design on the body to commemorate the launch of obuy

When they announced this light, I was wondering what's so good and new about this one over the i2r. The 5000K alone makes it worthwhile

Damn dude, you just sold me another light!! (Good thing it's free for Ofans). 😁

I carried one of the original i1rs for years. It was my first "flashlight" so to speak. Purchased for the practicality.

This thing is so hard to accidentally activate that I carried one every day for over a year without ever even using it and the battery was still good to go when I remembered I had it.

My only complaint with this style of light is that there's absolutely no battery indicator and it makes me want to save the battery for absolute emergencies. A nitecore Tini 2 with it's display is almost the perfect keychain other than the accidental activations I've had with it. It also let's you "ration" your battery so to speak.

Good review. 👍
