Refuses to charge from Power Delivery sources

This light is very bright and very small, but adding USB-C charging is basically useless to the point of disruption. The device will absolutely not be charged by a Power Delivery charger. This means you still need to use a separate cable and charging box if you have a laptop that charges via USB-C or a phone that charges via Power Delivery (e.g. Google Pixel/2/ xl/2xl). It also means you can't charge it from your laptop's battery with a USB-C cable like you can charge your phone. Battery packs with USB-CC cables will also not work if they conform to the Power Delivery standard. The flashlight might as well have a Micro-USB-B connector, so I don't have to keep track of which USB-C charger will and won't charge this device.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Some problems
