Nice review!
And I agree with your assessment in not recommending the Peron.
The Peron was neutered by Olight, when they surreptitiously disabled the on/off hand wave function, just prior to it’s release.
So now the proximity sensor serves no useful purpose.
See this thread, where I explain how Olight misled their loyal customers on the release of the Peron.

Even though the Peron is a 18650 light, it may be better served to relocate this thread to the Head Lamp Review section of the BLF.
