If that thing shits out on you and you want to try something a little less Chinesium, it’s similar to this Coast I got. It’s a single button top 18650 in there, you can charge the cell on its own or in the light, pops out of the strap and has a super strong magnetic cap so it’s a nice worklight. 3 light modes, I think it goes med-high-low, or click it to Med for more than 3 sec and the next button press turns it off. No red light, but it has zoom.

Battery lasts me a week or two of using it intermittently in the morning when it’s dark every day, and I’ve had it for like 2 years now, so this Coast cell might not be the best LG 18650 but it has outlasted every no-name Chinese 18650 light. And if it dies, I’ve got a bunch of flat top 18650s I’ll burn up in there.

I don’t know, I got it from the father in-law. Never really used it because it’s a fairly large folder and I always have one of the small Esees on my belt.

Although I got a Coast headlamp from him after that and it’s fuckin sweet. 18650 inside, 3 brightness settings, real strong magnet, and it zooms. I have been using that daily for a year or more at work, pull it off the strap and stick it on anything metal. And I got a small Coast 1x AAA light that is quite bright, and it has this lens that gives you a real even circle of light and it’s resl nice for a quick look in the engine bay.

The headlamp even came with a silicone strap for a hardhat. It’s heavy on the dome but one of my favorite lights.
