Manker Quinlan-T01

great!

i like your style :slight_smile:

That is Zebralight price territory for AA light.

20mm body for an AA light? It is huge :frowning:

In fact more expensive than a ZL ($69). Personally, I’d stick to ZL unless this was priced at $40-45….

Looks a very nice AA/14500 torch. Excellent output for such a small size.

I like the output numbers, but I think it’s ugly. :Sp
Price is definitely too high for me as well.

There are a few of us that will be getting these for review.

I dont find the design ugly, but it’s always personal taste. I’m impressed by the numbers, but the price is too high.

I do agree with you.
At first I thought it is a titanium light.
If I were to buy an AA light with a budget of $60-70, I’ll take the tried and tested ZL anytime over this.
$40 is a more appropriate.

If it was not quite so pricey, I might consider it. But a very good S2+ or EE X6 with more runtime is quite a bit cheaper.

Welcome to BLF, write2dgray!

Like that titanium Manker, they use way to much material to my taste, making the light bulky. I guess I'm more an Eagletac type of person. I do like the reflector size though, there's not much in the AA-'thrower' category.

I'll wait for the BLF-K6 :-)

Looks like a nice zebralight clone. I’d be interested for $30.

£42.95 (~$65) from ebay.co.uk.

Well, after seeing this review and watching the video, I take back what I said about it being ugly. It’s still not my favorite design, but it’s not bad really, and it has a nice tight beam!

I got a similar experience: from the video it seems not that bulky and the reflector looks of really nice size! (K6 worthy)

The reflector looks amazing. I don’t really care much for AA lights but the fact that it’ll take a 14500 makes me want one. The deep carry pocket clip is the main selling point for me, I like to carry my lights, not just leave them sitting on a shelf. The size of the head reminds me of the Nitecore MH20 but it’s still pocketable.

very sexy looking light, but too expensive.

Thanks djozz, I’ve lurked for years :). I agree, too much meat on the Manker lights. I like ’em simple - lean and simple with nice knurling.

And thanks for the link to review, it popped up shortly after I started this thread earlier today.

And too funny that mere hours after I started this thread, a true shill started a thread on CPF about the same light. It went south quickly:

Seems a bit big for a 14500 light.

The head is almost 30mm wide. That’s about the same as a Zebralight SC600. I think that might be too wide for pocket EDC.

On the other hand it does look like it has pretty good throw for a 14500 light. It must be making good use of all that interior space for a large reflector.

Of course M4D M4X, you know we need a GB on this….Just Sayn’
