Flashlight/Magnet Effect

[Chief-Yeah]

Please forgive my ignorance but I've just recently been contemplating adding a pico pen to my survival keyring and the pen has a small but somewhat powerful magnet which holds the cap on so it seems to cling to anything residing next to it.
On the same key ring I also have a Ti Draco so I'm just wondering if the magnet will have any adverse effects on the light or battery.
Any info anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated,:thanks:.

No there will be no effect.

Ditto that. No effects. I routinely store my pocket lights near powerful n48 and n50 magnets without issue.

Magnets affect lights that use magnetic switches, like reed switches or Hall effect sensors (examples: Gladius definitely, Heliotek I'm pretty sure, and probably a couple more). The Draco will not be affected.

great,thanks guys.I tell ya I don't know where I'd be without this place sometimes :thumbsup:

Just for empirical evidence, I tried a powerful neodymium magnet (ex hdd) at very close range to a Lumens Factory HO-R5 with no effect at all
