I wondered about it as well. Well, not whether to list DQG but what to do about the hundreds of other lights.
As to DQG with Folomov cell:
It’s the smallest and lightest flashlight-powerbank on the market. I am sure it deserves a mention.
Also the mere existence of Folomov cell is significant and deserves a mention in this thread.
As to others:
I’m not sure. The cell is the whole point really, the light around it is just an addition. There are other lights that I’m tempted to list but I feel it would clutter the table while not adding much value.
They don’t have higher capacity per cell. Lower or same.
Efficiency? I wish reviewers were able to measure that…
Anyway: if one wants to carry both a flashlight and a powerbank - a combo is typically going to provide more bang for the size / weight than 2 separate items, regardless of what separate items you choose. It may not be true for very high capacity (unless you’re willing to carry spare cells and switch them) but for lower energy needs - a combo wins.
If you don’t want the cost - there are still many options around…actually when I consider lights that are the most interesting to me - none of the first class ones comes with a powerbank or even with Folomov powerbank-cell compatibility.
Got one of these JKK03 .
145 x 46 mm, 275 grams, 3600 lumens, 3 x 16650 (at 3500 mAh), µC in (at 2 A) [optional 3.5 barrel plug DC in @ 5 volts], USB A (2x) out, $40.
I’m not really sure if I should list unavailable lights.
On one hand - they may still be available second hand. But proabably very hard to get.
On the other hand they may pollute the list.
I already added one that seems unavailable. But I didn’t expect the list to grow this much so fast.
Should I keep adding unavailable lights or maybe it would be better to remove that Vollsion?
And now…I have doubts. They don’t list some basic info like how many lumens does it have. Which makes me think that the makers were focused on “warmer” rather than on “flashlight”.
If I include items where “flashlight” is not a major part of the whole - I’ll end up listing all OTG phones and other unrelated stuff.
Maybe the rule for inclusion should be:
it’s a powerbank and
it’s a good flashlight
So before I edd ewarmer - MyRants, do you think it’s a good flashlight?
Have JKK36. XHP70.2 3000k. 3-18650=10.2A.
Overpaid 5 bucks. Although the 3000k temp is worth it.
Also Rofis MR70 XHP70.2. 1-26650=5500mAh. Not enough for a powerbank with a 70.2.
