Hi folks, does anyone have an imini 2? If so, can you tell me if you can open the battery compartment? Every since trying a Rovyvon with horrendous parasitic drain, I don't really trust sealed-battery-compartment lights. The ability to apply a lockout or at least eventually replace the battery would be great. I imagine this thing has a 10180 inside it? The light body has two knurled areas so I'm hoping it unscrews to allow access. Anyway, thanks!

EDIT: Apparently I'm a month away from being a CPF member for two decades. :p

It uses a physical switch that turns the light off. Inside the 'cap', it has a pin that presses the button on the torch to turn it off. As long as the torch is attached to its cap, there shouldn't be any parasitic drain.

I tried to access the battery compartment but I only managed to unscrew the torch partially. I can't undo the screw to access the battery.

Thanks for the info! It looks like a neat light. I'd have preferred a high-CRI emitter, but that can be hard to find in mass market designs.

BTW, I'm honored that your first message on CPF was replying to me. :D
