are there any other differences to the previous one? Is it any better sealed?
It is sealed to IP67* rating which should allow for total immersion upto 1m. Whereas the previous ones, from what I have read on here, seemed susceptible to water ingress just from rain/puddle splashing.
Incidentally I have the new battery in front of me and it looks pretty watertight.
*For those who do not have an IP Code table at hand, “IP67” means that it is:
(6x) Dust tight (No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact) and
(x7) Immersible up to 1 m (Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion))
It whould be nice to know the IP rating also of the lamp itself.
