    That is a pretty horrible misdesign or maybe manufacturing defect, if live voltage is supplied to the external contacts like that. It is even a safety hazard. It’s enough to make me want to stay away from the light without wanting to know anything else about it. Ouch. I’d take off way more than one star for that. I can’t see this light paying any reasonable certification or type acceptance, if such a thing exists for flashlights.

    I do appreciate the very detailed data table right at the start of the review. I wish other reviewers also did that.

        Thanks but that turns me off from the whole brand. It’s almost like a light that explodes. I had thought of the magnetic charger as a smaller alternative to a cradle charger and I hope no cradle lights do anything like that. They should not have approved production of a light with this flaw. If Mag or Streamlight had shipped this, they would probably have to do a recall. Ouch.

        I still love my Skillhunt E3A though.
