Yeah, quite “not cheap” The first one is the cheapest and it is at almost 60! :money_mouth_face:
There are some other options with battery, charger and more stuff, so altough discontinued, they are still around
Although I do recognize how good they can be, they’re larger than what I like for EDC.
I normally like smaller lights, as OP is asking for. Current EDC is the Warrior Mini. Not the smallest , but has what I like in terms of UI.
Funny thing is, dimension for dimension, the MH20 is, within a mm or two, the exact same size as the i332, which takes a 16340! Not even an 18350, but actually a 16340.
So a ~4” light with charging, dual-stage switch, hella nice and simple UI, and full 18650, I’ve yet to have any other light dethrone it as my EDC.
the downside to spares is, by the time you need a new light, something better will be out
for me, the Anduril UI is a good reason for this…
i feel like the reason i like a given light is usually mostly the UI, and i think anduril will be around for a while, unlike other one-off UIs that came before
only on new and improving platforms
it broke
after about a year of EDC
no real hard use, just frequent
it is a very small switch, you can most likely not get a replacement, and if i recall the driver is glued in , or the switch is surface mounted or both
something about it (details escape me now) makes it hard to replace, and to obtain
the size makes it fragile as well
and it is mounted so that it is not supported by other than some solder pads
it is sideways on the pc board, sort of floating
when you press the button it tends to bend the solder, eventually breaking it and the switch comes loose

\maybe they changed it, but the current ads look the same
this was 3-4 years ago
FW3A has a good solid switch
very reachable, simple
