Can you explain why U22 is specced to deliver so much shorter throw than U21? It should be very roughly 15% worse, not 48% worse.
Thinking about it I came with 5 possible explanations (or partial explanations).
U21 may have been overspecced. That’s not the case, 2reviews show it to be 1-3% worse than it should, within error margin (note: I compare cd/lm, not cd or lumen individually).
U22 may be underspecced.
That would be…extraordinary.
Some difference could be explained by different reflector geometry.
If U22 was shorter (in relation to diameter), it would produce both fewer cd and more lumens.
But I don’t expect huge difference in geometry, maybe marginal.
Maybe reflector is of lower quality?
Such quality drop would damage Manker’s reputation and therefore is not something I’d expect.
Overall - I don’t know what to think about it.
That’s why I wait for reviews.
Maybe, I don’t know. I’m used to seeing green or blue. Pink seems kinda custom. Me and DB tend to mod a lot of our lights with pink leds. I was thinking Vinh might have changed it to pink, as well.
Hmmm, that is Dale’s review, but he doesn’t mention that his photo is after modding, but highly possible since you said “Me and DB tend to mod a lot of our lights with pink leds”
I couldn’t find any other reviews or photos anywhere of the switches when illuminated. And Manker doesn’t mention or show it either. Was trying to look also on CPF but it’s still down.

Thanks! I can’t remember where I was seeing this price before, (Thought it was on their website) but I could swear it included the battery. That listing shows: “Battery not included”
I see another ad that includes the battery.

I’m sure I saw this for $55.95 with the included cell, because I posted about it in another thread. I’m beginning to think it was a presale on mankerlight.com?
It looks like Manker might be using the Samsung 48G:
