About to pull the trigger on a Wee NS, but...

[rotototo]

Despite the fact that it has runtime measurable in two digits, the emitter is slightly obsolete, and it uses a pretty much proprietary battery with less capacity then an AAA...I really, really want one.

It all hinges on this though: the charger. Is it included in the price, or do I have to pay extra for it? I really can't afford that extra £6...

I don't believe the charger is included, and a Q5 is hardly "obsolete"

Where did you read about the obsolete emitter? I suspect the flashlightreviews site. It has undergone incremental improvements, which includes the latest Cree Q5 emitter. The NS does come with a charger.

Are you sure about that Mike? I just looked at the site and this is what I saw
" BT Lanyard & Magnetic spacers (For Nano Charger) included."
and the reference to the nano charger takes you to the extras and options page. It reads like the charger itself is not included, if I am wrong I'm sorry. I got mine a while ago and really can't remember.
Personally, I think £35 is quite reasonable for the light itself. JMO

Ahhh, I must admit that I have not checked the new website properly. This may be a change. I'll find out tomorrow.

Ignore me, I am being unimaginably stupid. We are talking about the Wee NS here. For some reason, I thought we were talking about the Raw NS. Since when has the Wee ever had an obsolete emitter though? That's what threw me, I thought the OP was referring to the Raw NS that came with a Lux III or K2. Sorry.

Wee NS does not come with the charger, sorry.
