Not OP. But my KR1 (SFT40, non copper, usually in a 18350 body) is very much a specialized light. I'm a city dweller and only carry my KR1 when going into outdoorsy kind of scenario.

Huh, that's not what I expected, is it because of the small size that it's good for carrying out in the country – is that what you meant by specialised? Isn't the battery life a bit low?

An 18350 cell will, last about 2-3 hours depending on brightness and the driver you have, obviously a boost driver would last alot longer but with lower max output.

I would agree small cell size makes it less appealing to carry on a long night walking etc but I guess that comes down to knowing your situation. If I plan to be out for a long time I'm grabbing a D4SV2 or DM1.12 with 26800 tube or a dual 26650 light like the L6 or sp70
