I have both too. The spot of the 370 is a bit smaller and brighter for smaller objects, but the 360 has a bigger spot and brighter spill, making up for a better allround usability when walking in the night and illuminating the surroundings. I like the old one better therefor. Also I easily lost the keyring attachment of the new one, that one is a faulty design ! I cannot use the new one on my keychain anymore because of the missing part. To make it complete, the new stainless steel button is really bad to find in the dark, no comparison with the easy locatable rubber button of the old one. Though tailstanding ability is nice to have, I'll stay happily with the old 360 one.
The 10440 battery needs a charger that is rated at 250mAh or less. That means you need the little screw on charger that is for this flashlight. About $7-8 from Chinese dealers. goinggear.com/ultratac-k18-2017-version-usb-charging-adapter.html Or you could use this charger: www.amazon.com/XTAR-XP1-Hummingbird-Intelligent-Dual-Chemistry/dp/B00RJWOAWG Spare 10440 batteries are about 4 for $10 on Ebay and Amazon.
I have a boatload of keychain lights including the Olight I3e EOS copper which I like and my favorite the Nitecore 2017 TIP 360lm, gotta get this one👍🧀🇺🇸🔦
certn1, thank you for your input. I mentioned that at the end with the pricing, but I certainly don't expect everyone to watch the full video, as a purchase this small doesn't necessarily warrant the 30+ minute video that I posted. I'm sure many viewers may appreciate someone cutting to the chase. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making such a thorough comparison/review. Definitely helped me make my choice
The 360 actually looked brighter to me. Great vid and great outdoor comparisons!
I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!

The flat bottom will allow the K-18 to "tail-stand." Might be a nice area light with the diffuser installed..

The new version also has brass, bought on ebay, in fact I ordered in black and brass. The old version I have in stainless steel.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm glad you were able to find the new version in brass. The brass is definitely my favorite.
I got dizzy could watch the video. Got yourself a tripod
so , what's your favorite keychain light to date ?
Do a review of the k18 mini i dont think anyone has posted about it
