I refuse to buy most lights due to their sealed-in, proprietary batteries, the fact that the run times are pitifully low even from brand new, and the fact that the brackets change incessantly with almost no noticeable improvement, and frequently the opposite. Products are supposed to solve problems not create them.

At what % year on year are batteries improving in terms of
– power capacity by volume and weight?
– number of re-use cycles?

What moves are there in the industry as regards moving towards a standard:
– battery? (think AAA but lithium or whatever the latest composition is.)
– mounting brackets?

Thanks.

Matt, your questions are excellent but I don’t want to be cynical but what your asking is when will our capitalist / consumption system produce long lasting quality product, fulfilling real needs with a preoccupation for reusability and cross compatibility. ! Do you really think.you will get anything else than BS as an answer ?
