Description:
The T-Series puts strategic advantage into the hands of professionals for whom every thought, action and piece of equipment can be critical to the mission. That's why police and military professionals around the world rely on Inova flashlights to get the job done.
The Inova T4 offers major benefits over competing rechargeables because it provides up to two times the burn time (as much as two hours of constant uniform light output) and recharges in about a quarter of the time. The T4 can be recharged any time, without waiting for the battery to be fully discharged--and the battery can be recharged hundreds of times. The 125-Lumen LED source is effective up to 300 feet--visibly illuminating objects at football-field distances.
This advanced light comes in a sturdy, aircraft-grade aluminum body that's machined from solid bar stock (not extruded tubing), with a military-grade Type III anodized hard-coat head. It boasts a mid-body switch that's located for optimal control.
The T4's lifetime LED bulbs are virtually indestructible, and the light's power regulation offers constant, uniform light output brightness over battery life. Includes charger cradle plus power supplies for AC and DC charging.

Do not buy, obsolete technology at a rip-off priceDec 09, 2008 The Inova T4 is part of a group of rechargeable Li-ion flashlights that appeared before standard rechargeable Li-ion cells became widely available, and therefore it uses a PROPRIETARY battery, which costs 3 to 4 times more than a 18650 cell (the reference for modern flashlights). The T4 also is inferior because of the fact it does not use a reflector, but instead has a sort of Fresnel lens in front of the emitter. The beam is very uneven, marred by several rings, and the throw is also sub-par.
The Streamlight Strion belongs to the same group, but it is even more obsolete for using an incandescent bulb rather than a low-consumption LED.
Another major handicap of those early-day Li-ion flashlights compared to more recent ones is that their crude circuitry does not allow to have a variable output, and also it does not provide a low-battery warning: when the voltage in the cell goes below a certain threshold, the protection mechanism simply shuts down, meaning you are left in the dark on your own. Instead, modern LED lights will allow you hours of emergency light by going in a low-power mode. Some, like the Fenix, will warn you of a low-battery situation through a pulsing beam.
I bought a T4 when it came out (around 2005), and when the battery died on me less than a year later I switched to more modern, Chinese-made flashlights (yes, China today leads the market for high-powered LED flashlights and rechargeable Li-ion cells).
Unless you want to spend top dollars for a Surefire (not worth it in my opinion), the best brands of flashlights today are Fenix, JetBeam and Wolf Eyes. All use the latest LEDs (mostly from Cree), and most offer several choices of off-the-shelf battery power, rechargeable or not.
The state of the art should be: Cree Q5 or R2 (newest version yet) and a tube that accepts a 18650 rechargeable cell (it will then be able to hold 2 CR123 batteries, rechargeable or not). Tenergy batteries and chargers are excellent.
The whole package should cost around 100$ and you will get 220-250 Lumens out of it.

I can see the lightNov 05, 2008 As a professional shadow puppeteer (yes im serious) im in constant search for the perfect white light. It has to be bright it has to be white. I have my clunky gear for putting on bigger shows, but for birthday parties and impromtu acts (bars, airports, pharmacies)I whip out my Inova. The price is up there but you just cant put a price on good shadows.

this is my last flashlight!Nov 05, 2008 whoever rated this one star are either they got it off EBAY or they make it up. The flash light are absolutely bright as daylite. I even compare it to 2million candles light flashlight "the big one that you got for your house" and it's no comparable. I havent got any problem with the light yet, but it's come with one year warranty from manufacture, and i believe if something wrong with it all you have to do is send it back. No problem
But you can find alot of professional review from google, and none of them underated this.

Bright light but useless chargerJun 19, 2008 I use a flashlight in my job all day every day.
The Inova T4 has the brightest, cleanest light I've seen except:
The charger works inconsistently.
There's an LED on the charger that should remain lit while it's charging but blinks which indicates that the charger and flashlight are not making correct contact. Inova has ignored my e-mails and calls go unanswered.
A company that sells a flashlight for $120 should have better customer service. The fact that I need to carry a $35 flashlight to back up this expensive piece of equipment is unexcusable. DON'T BUY IT!
Great light!!!!! Highly recomended!!!Mar 13, 2008 This Light is extremely bright for the small size. It charges well and lasted over two hours without dimming and that was straight out of the box. I like the rugged body which seems to be indistructable. The only reason I gave it a four was because every once and a while it wll not come on so I unscrew the cap a little and it lights up. I think it is a connection problem and after reading the review by Patrick, I probably just need to clean the contacts.
