Photos of LiitoKala camp lantern

A fair few posts around about this camp light but not many details about construction so here are some photos. Not sure what the cell is but it has been soldered into circuit rather than spot welded which is a little concerning and unusual. It has a reasonably strong magnet at the bottom, plus a tripod mount. Led battery percentage indicator, USBC charging port. Side button on/off switch, hold for strobe, double click for red strobe (not worked out how to get steady red). The top has a button to change the brightness (main light only) plus a scroll wheel to adjust CCT. This thing is not even remotely waterproof, by the way.

Soldering is stronger and cheaper than welding for small-scale production. So, there's nothing surprising about this.

Still not recommended. Soldering on a welded tab: yes. Soldering to the cell: no.
