My initial thought, a battery indicator light does make the light look fancy and a bit more attractive, also, it sounds like it do make sense. Yet, do I really need it in real daily-use?
If I use the light around my home, I don't think I would care the battry level.
If I would go out somewhere for some days, I would charge the battery to full and bring the backup one.
If I go out to walk my dogs, yeah, I may want to know how many battry left. But I knew I shoud change the battery if I turn it on and it just conldn't work or last on the highest output.
So, it turns out to be not as necessery as it looks like. It may make the light more complicated and less reliable in the end. And I guess all I need is some low battery warning so that I could change the battery before the light dies out. For a indicator in a rechargeable light, at least I could know how much time should I wait before it fully recharged.
