Inova T3

[ARtsig1]

Got one of these coming and wanted to see if anyone else had one yet. It is the model that uises two of the 3v. 123's. It has a high powered 3.2 watt LED and is rated at 85 lumens. I wanted to find out if the lens is pyrex or a plastic. Here is a pic from TAD

Hi,
I don't know anything about that light, and I never will.
I bought an X5 which doesn't work half the time. I can't get through to Inova on their website. I'll never buy another Inova.
I'll stick with Streamlight.
I hope you have better luck than I did.

I have had 2 X-1, and X5T and X0, and have had good luck with them all. I'm 99% sure the lens is glass, it is on all the rest of them.

I have one - it is my "evening go walking" light. I also carry a Surefire Z2 and a 1911. But the light in my hand during the walk is the T3. Darn fine light!!!!

I may be receiving a T3 as a gift soon. But am a bit apprehensive about its output rating. I had an X-0 model which is a 1 watt and an T-2 which is a 2 watt. The X- 0 not only had a wider spill but apparently a more intensive beam than the T-2! It is simply brighter than than the T-2. And the T-2 beam is a bit narrow. Am I missing something here? Or is there a QC issue here on Inovas part? It is notable though, that the checkered pattern on the T series offer an amply secure grip.

I' ll also add that the T-2 offers a more pure white beam than the X-0, which has a slight blue hue.
