I have dropped from the vicious cirle for a while.
I was thinking that there must be other options but soon noticed - can´t name any out from my memory… hmm…
So: dock charging is NOT needed. 21700 or 18650.
Triple LED, side switch preferred but not mandatory…
If you’re searching for a 21700 side switch light I can not recommend the sub $25 FF E01 highly enough! Absolutely fantastic light, it’s my go to every night for dog walks in the park (mixed woods and open fields walking). Single emitter TIR with great beam useful for all situations and still pumps out ~1800Lm.
Not as high of lumen output as the seeker2 but a more useful beam for nearly every purpose.
I am also leaning towards FFE01 due to single switch operation and much better UI. Beam profile seems less floody than C8F, but still very usable at shorter ranges as well. Do you know if it takes also wrapped 21700 cells or OEM only?
I no longer have the sst-40 in mine but when I did it was totally fine with the 40T (I was a bit more careful with the 30t).
Its got a lh351d now so I can use any cell that’s out without concern.
