Rechargeable Light

Which rechargeable light would you recommend?
I like the Nitecore MH1a. Any ideas?

Olight S30R II.
FENIX UC35
Nitecore MH20

Profit?

Thanks for the help. Are there any down sides with the rechargeable lights?

I really like the idea of having a rechargeable light, believing I'll always have 100% of the battery capacity ready to go. When something goes bump in the night, I want to grab my light and go. I might only use it for a few minutes. Do this a few times, and those minutes add up, and I'll eventually have dead batteries, or I'll be switching batteries frequently. I rather not manage my lights, and don't think I need to with today's knowledge. Just have to convince designers to make it happen!

Downsides? I don't think there's a downside. With today's technology it shouldn't be any different than a cell phone.

If I only packed and ever used one light, these days, it'd be rechargeable. Plug an play.
Grab an go gear is win IMO.

My three fave USB rechargeables:
1.Nitecore P25 Smilodon (with two picatinny rails! )
2.Nitecore TubeVN (current boosted slightly.)
3.My Mophie 2 port USB power bank plus Soshine USB plugin light modules (simdx6, up to 1 watt, with touch-on touch-off, and touch-hold dimming.) Just got them in the mail and was up to 1:30 am this am playing with them, lost track of time. Having too much fun!

Those Soshine modules have a small plated hole in the end of the board, that's where you touch. Maker suggests you can put a keyring through the hole, we'll see how well that holds up. My suggestion is to get the warm version, the standard "white" is a bit too cold for me. Looks extremely moddable and there's no teardown. You're looking right at the components.

Of these 3 options, the TubeVN is the most portable. It goes on a belt carabiner, reach down and grab, quickdraw.
The Soshine USB is the most versatile indoors, they are 100% mule flood and don't reach out past a handful of yards.
The Smilodon is just plain fun. I added a Ka-bar "pistol bayonet" to one rail and a 5mw metal body laser sight to the other rail, just for fun. It's just to show people and make them double take and say "what the....?"

Also saw the Olight can charge from USB and use a cigarette lighter port from a vehicle.
But...I still refuse to buy a light that doesn't use an intuitive interface. I don't like multi-function buttons.
