No, it’s not. But it is small

Folomov claims this light is the shortest rechargeable 18650 light. Not shortest 18650 light.

dqg tiny is smaller - 87mm, but - not rechargeable = - and i had 2 out of 2 fail.

manker u11 is 105mm, almost same size , it is rechargeable, and i had 1 out of 1 fail.

You can put a battery with a built-in charger in Tiny. It won’t work as a powerbank, but that’s probably the smallest 18650 light with a charger included.

Mine has not failed (so far)…what kind of problems did you have with it?

yes the dqg tiny is still the smallest 18650 light .

how did it fail ?

(i’ve posted this before, i am still mad at dqg for this)

light 1: switch broke loose from board, leading me to take apart [hard due to glued driver] and discover a fragile switch, a bad mounting method, and poor soldering, not user replaceable even though i can solder, for many reasons…

light 2: became intermittent, light would not come on, light would come on then fade out randomly, finally it would not come on at all

I see a M4DM4X code for Folomov EDC-C4.
It seems very good to me, but I’m not sure.
Can anyone help me with the following questions?
What price is considered very good for this light? What’s the historical low?

[Agro]

Anyone…

[wle]

I think it would be good for $35, that is what a manker u11 costs, it is about the same more or less.

[Agro]

Thanks for the input…this is not the same though. Manker has a buck driver, Folomov - not sure. Folomov has bad UI. And overall quality may be worse than Manker. However, it can be used as a powerbank and I believe it’s still the best flashlight-powerbank on the market.

[Gunga]

I have one. The UI is not great. My main issue is that it won’t charge the newest iPhone (8/8+ or X) unless they have changed the charging chip.

For flashlight-powerbank, isn’t it there’s also the Fitorch P20R and the Vollsion which looks very similar. Am wondering what aspects is the Folomov EDC C4 consider as better?
(we’re not considering the Xiaomi lower-powered powerbank-flashlight and the Xiaomi FZ101 zoomable flashlight-powerbank)

[Agro]

Frankly, I have forgotten about them. I did so because they are simply uninteresting for me. Why?
Because for flashlight-powerbank I consider size and weight to be of critical importance and they seem to disregard it.
Fitorch is 41% larger and 38% heavier (battery weight included).
Xiaomi is 21% larger and 55% heavier. And has smaller capacity, compounding the size deficiency.
