yeah, its a shame too since looking at the xp g3 data sheet, it seems 90 CRI is available all the way up to over 6000k. But it seems here they are throwing a random NW-CW xp g3 into these. Don’t think I could justify the price with that being the case. The nichia version is more appealing but will be the first to sell out. Will have to wait for reviews. Important things will be how this handles heat and how long 8000 lumens run before it steps down, and what it steps down to.
Looks awesome. I wonder if it really is as nice as my meteor. I’d like the moonlight to be lower on mine and the UI a bit more logical. I’ll wait for the review.
Interested in one
can’t wait for a review of it.
Light looks legit, I kinda like it but reminds me of ET’s head lol. Manker coming up wit a lot of lights lately. I’m not gonna lie though, first thought was wait… they put 3 s41 together and put a block of metal in between only as heatsink. I can’t wait for the review n see what this thing can do.
Hmm, credit card says yes, wallet says maybe. I will probably wait for a review to come out first.
Nicolicous:looks like all the questions are ignored. oh well time to move on with other light spending
Exactly ! If a vendor doesn’t answer simple questions before a light is released - then what kind of service can you expect after purchasing it?!! Edit - (Manker was online 25 minutes ago as of the time of this writing so they have been online)
Hi Myst999, I'm sorry , we are busy on doing something to help old-lumens. you can check: Donation to Old-Lumens
About MK34, I think review from johnnymac, budda, selfbuilt will tell more detail, please kindly wait to check real review.
will be looking forward to Johnnymac review! Selfbuilt also, wow! Won’t sneak anything past them.
I can’t wait to see what this little beast can do.
For the lumens this thing puts out it’s a steal! Can’t wait to get mine to review and compare to a 219C M43. Just hope it doesn’t take months since I only ordered it a couple of days ago and not immediately when the preorders started.
Mine shipped just now, can’t wait!

Mankerlight: keengeorge:G’Day Manker,
Could you Please tell us what tint & color temperature are the 12 Cree XP-G3 & the 12 Nichia 219B LEDs?
Thank you Very Much,
George
George: XPG3 5000-7000K
219B 4500-5000K
5000k-7000k ???
Talk about tint lottery !
I contacted Manker about this. I got a reply that the XP-G3 is about 6500K as stated on their website. Hopefully this is the correct data.
