*** NEW *** Manker MK39 Ranger. 2018-05-22: New video!

That video was worth it if only for the German-to-English CC translation. :smiley:

i dont think 8 leds will reach 8000 lumen, more likely about 6000 lumen
i really like the form

Shouldn’t be a problem if they use XP-L HD or XP-L2 emitters on V5 or V6 bins. Even the Emisar D4 can pump out more than 4k startup lumens.

Despite the light looking very interesting, I won’t buy another Manker due to the awful UI. Grouping turbo with strobe modes is extremely annoying. That’s why I never use my MK34 despite I like the design so much. I should have paid more to get the MK34vn, which has a UI to make the light usable.

Can’t you just send it to Vinh?

You are telling the world in various threads that you will not buy any more Mankers until they ‘fix’ their user interface, so that makes me feel inclined to tell the world that I fairly like the Manker UI, they really did a lot right I believe, when in use it works supple, you can tell that they tested it out and finetuned the timings, what even high end flashlight manufacturers sometimes fail to do (i.e. Jetbeam E40R :person_facepalming: ). They just made a choice that you do not like and there will be others who will be particularly happy about turbo in another group (but ready accessable). Personally I’m neutral about that choice.

do you like it?

It would look better in my hand… :wink:

Wow, I could use one of these on the boat. The thrower to find the dock from off shore, and flood to pull into the slip.

Looks really nice. Spec says 6000 total lumens.

This light reminds me KLARUS RS80. Similar concept, but MK39 looks better & much smaller.

I will still buy Klarus RS80 if I have the money and choice.

Interesting. Flood and throw in one package. The beginnings of a Swiss Army knife kind of flashlight.

I love it, a bit like a Blackshaodow Terminator, I guess we will see this in ScFi movies, I want one.

That certainly looks like the best way to combine flood and throw with an actual good sized reflector for the throw part.

Dont think so. It could be much smaller if quad optics was placed in the center right above glass lens.

That would make shedding the heat out of them quite difficult without affecting the thrower beam.

That ancient Klarus flashlight STILL looks like it’s from the future.

^ And it still is very good looking… :sunglasses:

It’s beautiful. It’s got that typical smooth/curvy Manker design that is uniform across your brand. My regards to your designer.

Exactly my thoughts on this.
A cross/mix between Blackshadow Terminator and Fenix TK76.

I like the design, A lot. Looks bloody good to me.
Still handy&compact enough with plenty of output.

Would like to see test results, especially regarding actual output & throw. (and UI :slight_smile:

Cheers
