A 18650 without spinner please !
I agree with the major sentiments here - I donāt like the deeply crenelated bezel (looks dangerous for pocket-carry), the spinner seems misplaced in an expensive metal flashlight (how many fidget spinners are dropped several times a day?), and, lastly, the price is way too high. It moves it into conspicuous consumption, status symbol territory!
Just my 2Ā¢ā¦someone went too far with an otherwise pretty sharp looking light. Love the lines (rugged/tactical? look), the colors (breaking up the copper is nicer to my eye). The bezelā¦too much. Iād hate to be arrested for carrying a concealed weapon? The spinnerā¦no words :person_facepalming: The priceā¦YIKES!!!
Interesting product due to the ingenuity to combine a flashlight with a spinner. :+1:
Build quality is visible excellent.
I see a mismatch in the target groups. On the one hand expensive materials such as titanium and copper and on the other spinner, which is extra only for the audience with smaller financial opportunities. This is in general case, of course.
I would probably have bought some for gifts, but obviously Iām not in the right target groupā¦
Come on guys! Theee are 750000 flashlight out there without a strike bezzel and spinner. There is just one that does. I like it! Nowā¦ Manker, do I get to be the first to review and try it out? :innocent:
No high CRI Nichia? 
I think your comment here means you think only poor people, or maybe kids/unemployed people buy spinners. If you think that youāve missed a large community of enthusiasts and collectors paying hundreds and even thousands of dollars for premium spinners. Thatās not to say that I think of them will buy this (although I think some would) or that I think this is a good product (doesnāt appeal to me), but donāt make the mistake of equating spinners with lower income brackets. That couldnāt be further from the truth.
I think this light is fun. Over the top well done!
And could wight and Toykeeper ever have thought that their driver would feature in a light like this? :partying_face:
definately not a budget light
for collectors from CPF its ok, but the design is far from a practical light
Humm at the price of (3) D4 āBLFā lights I am pretty sure the market will vote and the idea will be short lived.
Sans spinner
Sans pocket tearing bezel
And what is up with 6500k? Whoās idea was that?
It looks like a very cool futuristic light. Battlestar Galactica or very post apocalypse.
Ah we will at east be able to say I remember whenā¦
It definitely comes as a bit of a surprise. I didnāt expect my firmware to run on a fidget spinner. But I agree, the over-the-top nature seems fun. Anyone complaining about the spinner or the deep crenelations is missing the point. 
Mankerlight, you should totally send me a stonewashed Timeback II. Thereās no obligation, since the code is open-source, but it would be nice to have the worldās first open-source fidget spinner light since it has my code on it.
At minimum though, for legal compliance, you do need to include a copy of the code or at least a link to it. The product page mentions that the code is available but it doesnāt actually have a link. For full details on this, read the āCOPYINGā file included with the code, or any other copy of the GPLv3 license.
Give āem a few weeks, UTorch will come out with a cheaper copyā¦ :smiling_imp:
Ow! Stop it! Stop hitting meā¦
Yeah, itās kinda Star Tracky, or at least Star Warsy. Cuteā¦
Coupon code for 75% off that price? Lolā¦.

2017: 2,200lm flashlight with integrated spinner
Joking aside, I think it looks great. Ditch the spinner, make a better clip, add nichia option, 18650 battery tube, price it <$100 and Iāll buy it. Although if you only add 18650 and nichia option and lower the price I would still buy it.
I hope you get at least some sort of credit for the FW (and even better if itās the monetary type), theyāre even using the very same UI chart and everything.
That would be me. An overpriced gimmick. I just donāt get it.
It would be cool to get something out of it, but there is no legal obligation to do so. Thatās how open-source works. The main legal obligation of āshare and share alikeā is ā¦ āshare alikeā. Thereās nothing in there about āsend money to the authorā, though I definitely wouldnāt complain if someone did! 
Without dev costs, and no doubt having access to all the spex, cost is essentially just materials.
Eg, Kerman Lights contracts with WingDing Manufacturing for 10,000 lights. WingDing makes 20,000 lights, buys twice as much material (at a greater volume-discount), gives the first 10,000 to Kerman Lights as agreed upon, and sells the remaining 10,000 under the TooYorch brand.
Kerman bears the dev costs, etc., and prices their lights accordingly, plus a nice healthy profit via MAPs, etc.
TooYorch prices them certainly to cover material costs and profit, but still significantly lower than Kermanās prices (artificially higher via MAPs, so quite easy to do).
So TooYorch undercuts Kerman for pretty much the same light (eg, even the Kerman logo on the drivers!).
Or so Iāve heardā¦
