You have your questions asked and answered. I have the old and the new style LC40. As you now know the old LC40 needs 18650 to be procured separately and charged separately, the new LC40 has a built-in battery and MicroB charging socket.
I am using the new style LC40, as I type, as a bedside lamp, on it’s end pointed to ceiling, and I recharge it through the day off my 10-port Powerport.
I still kept and use the old style LC40, because they are a tube, it’s widest point is narrower, I use them for emergency flashlights, I keep one at bottom of stairs on a hook and another in my travel bag. They work perfectly fine but obviously a bit more effort to recharge. I had bought the 18650 and the charger already before the new LC40 came out. If I were investing now I’d just buy the newer LC40 for simplicity reasons.

In UK they call them torches, but in extensive time in USA I found I got a puzzled look, for example I said I carried a torch in my bag, and was asked was it not dangerous, so I eventually found Americans use flashlight for UK calls torches and USA uses torches for what UK calls flares.
Given this is a USA + other English forum I just use flashlights but if in UK-only contexts I use torch.

What does the UK call these then? 
Aren’t you originally from the US? So did you grow up calling then flashlights?

In UK they are called flares.
Wait so In US you would call that a torch? Now I’m confused.
Flashlight (US) = Torch (UK) 
Flare (UK) = Torch (US)?
Flare (US) = Flare (UK)?
I call this a torch
This a flare
And this a flashlight

UK anything battery operated is called a torch, something on fire by the road is called a flare and fire on a stick is called asking for trouble you KKK member.

If you want to use tables just use a HTML table generator and use the table section only they don’t support styles here. Some work like strike-through and changing font to larger

slight slip of tongue or words are allowed… we are here on a friendly forum, not in an exam hall writing our papers 
As long as meaning is conveyed, all should be well
