You are right, but I think that from Nitecore look for a classic rear switch, without parasitic consumption and that allows to maintain a very small size for a flashlight of this class. The design is simple and the price for what we are accustomed to in Nitecore is very good.
Anyway if you leave it to someone, and you tell them “this is the button”, they will be able to remember which is the switch (there are only two to choose, it will not be very difficult for them …
I do not know, seems that the head bezel have watchmaker notches for removing the piece
The Nitecore MT22A have a die cast design in head for evacuate the heat, at high mode get around head section 58ºC-60ºC (Celsius degrees) in 10 minutes, after that start a little step down and the temperature decreases slightly.
It’s great… I was using Sony vtc6 and voltage was 3.4 and it’s still light up… It’s very bright… I will take beamshot tonight… user interface is easy… I bought this from banggood group buy… so it’s cheap…
At 3.4V you better start thinking on charging that battery
I’m somehow dissapointed a bit with the Concept 1. Don’t get me wrong, the flashlight is solid, good performer and have a very “unique” look, which is specially hard to see these days. But imho Nitecore could have done a much better job, specially with the switch design. Also I’m not very keen on having to switch off and then on the light to change a mode.
