It does come with a USB charger adapter if that is important to you but it also uses the normal cylinder plug you find on other light. That's a nice feature as well since it make replacement batteries easier to find.

On the plus side, the light is small and cheapish. On the negative side, it's more expensive than other offerings. Roll your dice and move your mice.
My reason for asking. Is because it doesn't look gargantuan. Yet has the same power as my headlight. I normally don't use a headlamp. Until I saw this. But, I am not fan of buying from non-'brick n' mortar' businesses. Where there is no real guarantee.
