There's at least one missed opportunity on 2 levels here, if you puzzle it out. Who can figure it out?

I did. The lights tell the story.

The charger pedestal/holder for the pen has a magnetic base to keep it from tipping, supplied with an adhesive metal disk. It has a USBC input, which is fine enough.

The flashlight uses Olight's proprietary magnetic charger, which is also good. (Supplied with a fixed cord dangling an ancient USBA connector, but I mentioned that elsewhere.

What I see is that for these top-line top-price tier products, a system that all anchors on that mag charger (but with a female USBC input, no proprietary cord with historic connector). It has to ship with a cord, so a nice C-C soft flat one would work.

The pen holder should have no USBC input, uses the mag charger as well, has that same mag base as the light on the bottom. Ships with the same C-C cable and mag base.

Now you have a system that you can add additional tools over time, distinguish your high tier products and streamline your components. Also bundle as sets and so forth.

If the makers just need to scratch that proprietary charger itch even more, add a multi-charge mag base as an accessory.

JMO, but those changes would move these from 7/10 to 10 for price:value at what I paid retail.
