I only have one 18650 light for around the property so it doesn't get a ton of use, but I seem to have an over abundance of 18650 batteries.
I'd like to pick up a single 18650 battery to keep in a bag.
I prefer neutral or warmer tints and value hiCRI greatly.
I'm considering something from Malkoff. I'd also consider a larger rotary but that's about out of my price range for a little used light as planned.
