USB rechargable LED flashlight
USB rechargable LED flashlight
I saw a nice brushed-metal finish, rectangular flashlight running on a li-po that was waterproof at the same time as being able to act as a pocket power bank.
It was also surprisingly tiny.
Anybody know what the thing is called?

Zerohour XD is a massive beast without the benefits of a beastly light. Even a 3800 lumen Nitecore TM06 is cheaper and smaller. I managed to get a TM26 plus 4 batteries for slightly cheaper than this Zerohour on Ebay and even that is much smaller than xd.
Zerohour XD - 7.28" X 2.28" Olight R40 Seeker - 5.62" X 1.52"
Zerohour XD - 1000 lumens Olight R40 Seeker - 1100 lumens
Zerohour XD - 420 meters throw Olight R40 Seeker - 273 meters throw
Zerohour XD - $225 (No place for bargains) Olight R40 Seeker - $120 (Many places under $100)
Spare Seeker Battery - $16 (Battery Junction) 10k mAh charger - Starts at under $10 can go over $10 Lulz @ Zerohour - $Priceless

I was looking for a USB rechargeable flashlight that could also serve as a USB battery backup (I'd rather carry one item than two) and that's why the Zerohour was suggested. This review made it seem like it would be a decent flexible option: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?390400
If anyone has any alternatives to suggest that would be great. It doesn't need to be the best flashlight or the highest capacity battery, but a reasonable compromise between the two would be appreciated. Quality construction, durability, and a company that will stand by its products are a must though.
The ASP Sapphire was suggested because I hate having to keep coin batteries around for small keychain flashlights and I thought others may share similar feelings. I actually own this flashlight and it's worked great so far for my needs. It's relatively small, bright, and it has a nice solid feel, so it stays on my keychain and has always worked when I've needed it and is easy to charge when necessary.

Thanks for the suggestion!

A smaller Zerohour flashlight was just posted on kickstarter (Relic XR-EB: $130).

This list is all over the map. The only lights worth considering are the Olight R40 and the FourSeven . The info about the R40 being a Sustained 1100 lumens is false. The output goes down as the battery is used, see this review. It is not regulated on high.

Not a big deal, most lights output drops in the same manner. The medium and low levels are completely regulated and their output does not go down as the battery drains.

No Li-ion battery powered or any other consumer market battery powered LED flashlight or devive for that matter, perfectly sustains it's modes right until the battery dies. That is understood by any flashlight or battery powered device buyer who has taken at least one high school course of Physics and by many that haven't even done that but took Internet research inititive to do so. Potential buyers who haven't taken the initiative to research this topic won't care.
I am not sure why you decided to be a contrarian for contrary's sake but if any reader here cares to know the specific rate of performance diminishment for this flashlight, I am sure they'll appreciate the link sparing them from having to perform a single Google search operation.

Actually, the HDS EDC maintains flat-as-a-board regulation from the time that it is turned on, to the point where the battery literally cannot supply adequate power.
Blame an obsessive-compulsive perfectionist engineer named Henry for that flavor of awesome. :D
