That's cute! They wrote IPX-8 on their add so its waterproof!
Out of curiosity, do you ever have anything empirically based to add to conversations?

The mini usb was much better if they had to go USB.
I fully agree. It would be far better if the light had a magnetic chargeing port instead.
I disagree it's far better having a universal type of charging rather than a proprietary charging cable that you can lose or damage and have to wait ages to source a replacement.
I know if I lose this cable I'll have a spare kicking about.
If one lose the original cable or charging unit on a light with magnetic charging port, then one can always take out the 18650 battery from the light and charge it in an ordinary charger until one have a replacement,so i don´t see it as a problem.
What mistake?
according to the picture the light seems to be in water without the rubber USB sealing
Of no use to me,silly idea for a torch as the micro usb are not the best in long term reliability with broken wires and fittings.

May be a good gift for the non flashaholoc
Not when you are traveling, on vacation, or on the job. (or do you carry a 18650 charger everywhere you go?).
I've had a few instances where started the day w/ a full charge and ran it down before I was back home. Not saying I'll buy one, but definitely nice to have the option for a more generic charge option. And I'd say it is more convenient to be able to put the EDC light in the same pile of charging cell phones and not have to have a 18650 charger.
To be fair, my phone is a flip phone I've had for probably 5 years with a micro usb charging cable. No problem at all and I charge it every day basically. It's not going to be knocked around much if you are careful when charging so I personally don't see it as being that big of a weak point.
Heck yeah. A "pocket" light that you can recharge on the same cable you charge your phone with and puts out 1000ish lumens? Aww yeah. I think usb micro is okay if done right. I personally just wish the covers were a little more robust. Again I think the Olight "sliding" usb covers are pretty slick. Integrates nicely into the light body and isn't flimsy.
