I recently got an E05C from Nealsgadgets. It was a bummer to see the sold out Neutral tint version that apparently was a limited run. Neal’s was the only online shop I found that listed the neutral version, couldn’t find it anywhere else, but I’m over it…
I’m really liking this light! It’s my new daily driver in my work as a technician, I got it because it has the side light, magnet and its small size. I’ve already ordered a 2nd one for a friend who saw it and had to have one!
My only complaint also is the switch, it’s not the greatest feeling, I have to press it kind of hard to operate, and it could be a little larger.
Also maybe for a V2 have the switch relocated to the back, or better yet maybe the side?… If you hold this light normally the side light is aiming at your face, so you need to operate it while holding it upside down to avoid blinding yourself when turning on the side light.
I’d also like a magnetic strip on the backside, they could make a longer clip with built in magnets.
All nit-pickin though, as I don’t believe there’s anything else quite like this, a ton of cheapo AA side-cob lights but nothing else of this quality that I’m aware of.
They also make a larger 21700 version of this (E21C) that I’m considering.
Also just noticed a very similar SST20 version/21700/E21C clone by Warsun, with a COB side light: Warsun SQ03 Plus, Banggood
