Nice informative review, particularly the disassembly and modification report. It would be nice to know of a good source for 10220 cells. I think the Olight i16 and i1r Pro also use them. The Fenix E2R also might.
I’d take exception to the statement:
since the EK1 is 50.3mm long, and lots of AAA lights are in the 60-70mm range. The shortest I know of is the Skilhunt E3A at 59.5mm. So the EK1 is almost as big.
For this style of light I’ve been interested in the cheaper Trustfire Mini 2 which is 43.2mm long and uses a 10180 (this AX page is confusing since it says 10440 near the top):

I think Sofirn sold this light under its own brand for a while. Really though I see too much lumenitis in all these lights. So for keychains I’ve continued to prefer the coin and button cell type.
@solrize Sofirn definitely sold a 10180 light. I don’t know if it was identical to the Trustfire, but it had a removable battery and high-CRI option (SST-20, I think).
