A USB port is just one more place for water and dirt to get in. IMO, the preferred way would be to give the light a wider range of input voltage (say up to 4.2 volts for a single CR123 cell device) to be able to use a Li-ion rechargeable battery. This would also give the option of either using a primary CR123 cell or the Li-ion.
I can’t say this light does much for me. Likely an expensive battery that isn’t as widely available as 123s, and it’s so short it won’t act as a stand-off device. I’ll be passing.

That would be handy. I think the USB port could be done without much issue, but I'd take rechargable cells in a heartbeat however I could get them. Still a little miffed that the dual fuel 1L-1AA won't take 14500 cells (they'll physically fit, but Streamlight said the voltage is a no-go for the circuitry), maybe in the future after they 18650 all the lights they can 14500 some smaller lights.
If it uses CR2 batteries, the Titanium Innovations brand is available from Battery Junction for about $1/cell. While I would not use these in multi-cell lights, I do use them in single cell lights, including the Foursevens MLR2 lights currently on my and my wife’s keychains. This battery size should not stop anyone from buying this light if they would otherwise want it.

I don't have a Px4CC, but I'm over here casually wondering if this would fit on it. Seems like it would be the first light with decent output that would.
