give in like I did. I'd get one of their headlamps too if it was this price. then, I'd really regret it.
Anyway, thank you OP!
Just a heads up to those that ordered it. Be careful when your taking the light out of the packaging.
Don't remove the flashlight off the paper backing by simply pulling it off. Looks like Olight uses the spare o-rings to secure the light to the paper backing so be careful.
For setting next to your front and back door for use as an emergency and security light, you would want something with a bigger heatsink capacity and battery so that it can run brighter for longer, and/or something that casts a very wide super flood like these since for work you generally care more about close than 100 meter throw distance:

theres a decent pair of fenix batteries for I think $16 on amazon

EDIT: actually, while the 18350 battery is just a little bigger that a CR123a, the reflector area of the Convoy is a good bit longer, at least half an inch, probably more. Maybe even a whole inch longer altogether. Tough to be sure as they don't specify the dimensions of the flashlight. Just those of the package.

* Magnetic tail that snaps onto the USB charging base.
* Headband makes it convenient to use. I've used it twice to pull splinters out of my son's fingers
* Tiny! The clip keeps it from falling out of my pocket.
The S1R uses Olight's custom batteries. + and - ends on 1 end.

Fenix does not make cells. They re-wrap crappy chinese cells.
