Looking at the cutaway made me wonder if there would be room to put magnet(s) inside the base to add stability when placed on a car roof or hood or steel topped table. Needn’t be included, but might not cost much to make room for 3 or 4 standard size disc magnets there.
it could have enough space in the cap for magnets, or have a magnet base designed ( that threads into the tripod hole on the lantern as teejay mentioned above) added to the future accessory kit.
I would not recommend putting high strength magnets in the lamp. Having space if someone wants magnets is OK; but not as an installed feature.
Why? Easy to scratch metal surfaces (e.g., car body). Will attract various things lying about. Using the light for working around anything that generated tiny bits of magnetic material (e.g., sawing on metal things). They would be very annoying to remove and in the meantime will scratch surfaces.
If you really want magnets on the end, I would suggest something like making a disk with a beveled hole for a flat head screw for the tripod hole. Put magnets on the lantern side, put a non-scratching material on the outside. This will allow significant magnets to be used and no metal edges exposed to scratch anything.
No, I wasn’t suggesting they install them, just that as it looks like the space is already planned to be there it might be easy to tweak it to fit a common size magnet like the 20 x 3mm discs. More capability for no more cost to the manufacturer.
I do have a couple of lights with tailcap magnets. In general I like them. However, on this light I would rather add a magnetic disc, screwed into the tripod mount socket, when I wanted it rather than have it there all the time. My reasoning is that this light will be set down in the dirt at times. Around here at least, there is a lot of iron in the soil and magnets suck it up readily. You would end up with a bunch of metal “fuzz” on the cap and it is very difficult to clean off.
