Spec me an LED Torch

Well my LED Lenser P7 finally died, only not in the way I was expecting, but due to no fault of its own. You see, as a bad owner, I'd left a set of AAA batteries in it for a stupidly long time and they eventually swelled up then split open and had "seized" in the barrel, so I had to virtually destroy the torch with molegrips trying to get them out.

Take care of your Torches folks!
 
New light incoming, fireflies stellar x4.


 
X4 Stellar came today and I reckon it's going to replace my fav torch from 8 years ago which was the 18650 Zebralight SC600 MKIII which has always been my go to light when I've needed one.

I went for the tan finish with the FFL351A 5000K 2800lms CRI95 emitter and the optional 6000mAh 21700 and lantern accessary.

It runs on the Anduril 2 UI so has stacks of adjustable features.

getting into fishing big time and the darkness is looming, my dad gave me a head lamp that uses 2 18650 cells, im to used to 18650 cells been flat tops with my ecigs, but i need a spare set of 18650 batteries with button tops for the head lamp, any ideas of reputable sellers for button top 18650 batts?

i had a look at fogstar where i got my samsung ecig ones from years ago but they only have one button top battery from a brand i dont recognise.

samsung 30q 3000 mah 20 amp is the ones i have but usless as no button top, i tried and if im strapping lithium batts to my head i want them to be reliable like my ecig ones lol :P

Battery101 sell 30q's or look on aliexpress or banggood to get them cheaper.

just bought 2 of the button tops and a spare flat top for my boulder anker torch, dissapointed they were only the 15 amp variant and not the 20 amp ones i have on my ecigs but should work good for torches :)
