Something new from Sofirn. These larger cells (than 26800) seem to be popping up in flashlights more often now. This one lists 6500 mAh which isn't a much bigger capacity but presumably the maximum discharge must be pretty high to support 12000 lumens.

Sft-40 in the center surrounded by flood emitters. This isn’t one I’ll be picking up, maybe I’ll hold out for a 461000 cell!

night vision scope 😆

As someone who started after 21700 became popular, I’ve never felt the need to buy a multi-cell flashlight thanks to single-cell existing for most use-cases and not wanting to have to think about ensuring all cells have the same charge or keeping them paired together. So I like this development since it means there can be more simple 1-cell lights.

But realistically I won’t be carrying a 4680 light around regularly (even Convoy m21b is a bit too large).
