MonkeyLight connector ID help

I inherited fooferdoggies Monkeylights and was trying to ID their connector.


Seen it on some Chinese lights, but can't get a name for it.
Any suggestions?
Small ˜3mm, water protected
Thanks
Also trying to name the NightRider plug, that is similar , but a bit larger.

good luck. I wish the bigger lights were automatic I would have kept them. nothing worse then having to stop and turn on the lights.

The Monkeylectric guys still have their sign up over the Berkeley shop, and are listed as in the waterproofing electronics biz.

They and Revolights have not, um, fulfilled their potential, though the Kickstarter for a new model was still up as of Oct.
Amazon lists a battery pack for $8 but it is not clear if they have just left it and a page for the 210's up. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it ships.
It's interesting to follow their internet presence if only to see what a ghost company looks like.
Things like tracking the principles, to see what other stuff they will do.
I like the product as kinetic art, and their IP for things like the store display (Pro model) are intriguing and have me reviewing visual persistence and the math behind their model.
But not as a bike tool.

That's an odd connector. The most common one used on bike lights is a 2.1 mm connector - J21. It's easy to find replacement so if you can replace both the male and female ends that would be the way to go.
J21 connector
