Well, I bought six (!) M21Bs from Simon so far! Two for myself (XHP 50.2 3000K/4000K) and four to make a nice gift to friends (GT-FC40, XHP 50.2s). These folks don’t know anything about batteries, just like me. These folks don’t own battery chargers, just like me. If there was no Keeppower USB battery, I would not have bought a single M21B as a gift, because it doesn’t feature an option to charge via USB. One person liked the M21B so very much that he chose to buy one as a Christmas present for his nephew. Ka-Ching!, sound of a cash register.
I’m not talking about some fancy nerd stuff here but about promoting business. And making the M21B able to support the proper use of 21700 USB batteries (more space needed!) would at least just be another plus factor to promote this very flashlight, while the pack of comparable flashlights features USB ports (Wurkkos TS21, Sofirn SP35 —> tried both of them, didn’t like either of them compared to a beloved M21B).
I want to underscore what I wrote before:
I’m not trying to tell Simon how to run his business, I’m just a customer who’s making a proposal
New M21F looks great. I think it is use same driver of M21E. Also hope Simon to release in some point GT-FC40 driver for it as many of us wait that from long time. OP reflector I think it will be added to XHP70.2 version anyway.
Interesting, thank you for the explanation! Short is good…it would be difficult to engrave something like “Destroyer Of Darkness” on a host, wouldn’t it.
