Really? 21700 EDC form factor? Zebra SC65 is the probably the most balanced and technological EDC light on this ape planet. It’s small 2,5X9,2cm and light weight 38 gr. Light with integrated charging circuit and USB hole in host will be bigger, heavier and not fully waterproof.
So ultimate Zebra SC65 34gr + magnet charge 1r 25gr
Agree, alternative choice can be 14500 or even smaller. Since you traveling around power sockets batt capacity optional.
We’ve seen phones for awhile that are waterproof with the earlier ones being waterproof with a door like the Samsung S5. Having more openings makes it harder to design but not impossible. Ultimately though the only thing waterproof I’d argue are pelican cases or the like. It will cost more and is bigger though which is obvious. Also not everyone needs everything to be waterproof but I do respect that point since that’s something I’m aware of with IP ratings.
I came from a Tool AA and wanted more power and got an SC65 used so I’m happy but the Tool AA has a rechargable 14500 in it which is neat. Not a huge fan of the UI but a fun and cheap light to start off EDCing. That’s why I’m looking at 18650/21700.
The charger looks cool since I’ve not seen that form factor. I’ve done exactly what you said in the past that fits an 18650 and worked out. Said charger can’t do anything bigger than 18650 though. My 21700 headlamp I travel with it has USB C so at this point, I’m just ditching the charger and getting lights with USB-C in it. Less stuff to think of or possible lose.
Like I said I’m ok using it for EDC around the area but when I travel on a plane, I want lights to have USB-C since it makes it simpler.
