After seeing the CL20R come out, I immediately bought 4x CL20 (non-rechargeable) and a couple of Nitecore LA10 CRI lanterns.
On the CR20R:
* Thumbs up for the 1 lumen mode & starting on the lowest mode every time.
* HUGE THUMBS DOWN for the sealed rechargeable battery!
The rechargeable battery makes this light completely USELESS for my needs -- disaster management / recovery. One of the best features of the original CL20 was that it could use CR123 or AA batteries, which let ME choose which type of batteries (Lithium, Alkaline, rechargeable NiMH) I want to use.
I get sent into disaster areas where infrastructure is non-existent, or will be damaged soon, with no ETA for when it might return. I've been part of: Andrew '92, Gabrielle '01, Charley '04, Frances '04, Ivan '04, Jeanne '04, Katrina '05, Wilma '05, Sandy (NYC area) '12, Irma '17... I speak from experience. My hurricane kit & advice has been refined with each storm as well.
For me, standard batteries are a must. Standard replaceable batteries also makes budgeting easier. ie: if you know the next supply shipment arrives in 3 days and you only have 2 AAs left, you know it's time to run on lower levels and don't waste power. Even if you had a USB battery bank with some sort of battery gauge, you still truly don't know how much power you have left in the light or the battery pack. I've yet to find a battery pack with a linear battery meter. There's also no question of "is it charged?" when I'm using regular batteries.
As much as I love my Honda EU2000i generators and solar panels, those don't get to go on the airplane with me. Even when I do have access to my generators, fuel isn't always available, even when working with emergency management. I just encountered this with Irma. I traveled by car, had my generators with me, was promised fuel would be available...and it wasn't, so the generator was run sparingly until we could get a decent stock of fuel. I should also note that some jerk tried stealing our generator on the first night we finally had decent access to fuel and decided to run aircon in the building. Battery-operated motion sensor w/remote alarm FTW! IF that had gotten stolen AND we were depending upon that for lighting, charging battery banks, communications, etc., we would have been dead in the water.
@LetThereBeLight mentions the WakaWaka Power light... Its solar panel is too small to be practical. The literature says that it'll charge itself to "50% on a typical sunny day" and only has a 2200mAH internal battery. Soo...2 days of solar charging = ~50% charge on my mobile phone.
