No nimh charging pretty much kills it for me. I thought it would make a nice muggle lantern but with Li-Ion the only advantage over 21700 is wider, more stable stance. Which is not enough of advantage to offset the fact that it’s much larger, heavier and likely more expensive (especially when taking 14500 cells into account). All that while losing 20% of battery capacity.
Simple UI sounds good, I wouldn’t have to teach a course in Anduril every time someone wants to borrow a lantern.Hopefully high CRI and on the warm side, so as not to irritate people when camping. It would be really cool if it had a mode for an amber or red light, then it would be good for fishing and not attract hordes of mosquitoes.
