There is absolutely no reason to make a flashlight without a removable battery other than controlled obsolescence.

I disagree with this.
What makes this style of light possible is the use of a pouch cells.
Advanced users will be able to replace them.
And you definitely don’t want regular users to handle them.
OK, they could in principle design an enclosure for the cell.
But then the light would be larger and very few users would buy a proprietary spare like this anyway.

I thought a pouch cell was flat like a pillow:
Would not you have to crack the case open top get it out? Where would you get a replacement? Are they for sale anywhere?

Pouch cell is any cell with soft enclosure. They can be flat or they can be thick.

Would not you have to crack the case open top get it out? I depends on how it’s built. In Rovyvon f.e. you can open the body without damaging it.

Where to get replacement? As usually, in China. They are less standardized then cylindrical cells, so getting the perfect size is harder though. F.e. 501030 cell as used in the 1st gen rovyvons can be found here.
Naturally you may also ask the manufacturer but they are unlikely to keep stock of fresh cells after several years (when your original cell wears down).

Count me in for 4 please!

pipopopo · February 15, 2021, 3:28pm

Interested (SST-20 high CRI and no PWM???)

Xerionius · February 15, 2021, 3:34pm

Interested but I’d prefer it if the side emitter would be a very floody white high CRI one.

Interested.
Thanks

Ordered one in white 4000k. Thanks!

But I find it a bit weird that on the other colors the side LEDs just shine through the colored body. And in the video it looks like it doesn’t work very well. If that wasn’t the case I would have taken a colored one, I think they look pretty cool.
