Hi all, I've just been issued with a Pelican 7600 (I'm an emergency responder). It's the first USB-chargeable light I've used and I'm liking it. I find it really handy to keep it in the car on 'constant' (well, ignition-switched) charge. This way I always have a good light with me ready to go, and if I'm suddenly in a big job I know I can charge it in my accommodation (or whatever other vehicle I find myself in) using my regular phone chargers.
I'm thinking of getting a second one so that I can keep one in my EDC and rotate them periodically. Before I do that though I'm just wondering if there's something else out there that adds the convenience of a car cradle and does away with the fiddlyness of the USB connection as the primary charge method? I'm picturing something with a couple of nice easy contacts that locate quickly in the car cradle, but that also retains the micro-USB port for use with phone chargers?
Bonus points for retaining the battery level indicator and simple or reprogrammable modes (no strobe, ideally L>M>H?)
Thanks in advance
