Anyone for a Astrolux S42 BLF Edition?

LED Flashlights – General Info

While I agree that I wouldn’t want USB charging on most of my lights, it does have a couple of advantages. You don’t need to bring a separate charger when you travel, and you can use it to charge cells for other lights too.

It’s also good for people that don’t want to deal with the extra hassle of charging cells separately. Most people want to charge things the same way they charge their cell phone: plug it in and forget it. Now, you could argue that’s not a smart way to treat lithium-ion batteries, and I tend to agree. But, as long as the light has a reliable charging circuit, it’s not much different than trusting your other lithium-ion devices to charge properly.

The only reason I would want a BLF edition is because it has onboard charging. That is the only thing that would set it apart from the otherwise superior Emisar D4. I have the S42 and don’t use it besides for lumen bounce because the UI is so awful.

I would be interested if it has a similar presale price to the original S42 and if output and quality is similar to the D4.

The main reason I’d want a S42 is the ability to use a lanyard.
