Yeah. It seems that, for muggle lights, the optimal design has a built-in charger, sturdy host, intense cool white beam, a safe maximum level, and a very limited feature set. Last time I tried to give someone a nice light, they ended up letting it gather dust while they used a cheap 8000K zoomie instead.
So when I was looking at lights which are really fancy, with neutral beams and firefly-to-firestarter output ranges, and no charger… I realized it’d be a better idea to instead gift some of the “boring” lights I’ve had sitting in a box.
