Definitely interested if it can produce 800 lumens with 2xAA. I just hope they don’t group turbo with blinky modes. Blinky modes should be hidden. That’s the reason why I don’t buy Manker lights anymore.
Also hope it’s not glued and easy to swap emitters. I would love to put a 219B 9080 or LH351D in there.
Yeah, it’s not a great-looking light, but I’ll welcome any innovation in the AA category. At 800 lumens, it’s competitive with most 1x18650 lights, especially if they make it current-controlled (which would be an improvement over most budget 18650 lights). Hopefully, it can sustain the full 800 lumens, even if it drains the batteries fast.
Anyone out there that has one of these? I’ve been on a side by side kick lately and a 2xAA SxS is of interest.
Main things I’m curious of are the build quality, particularly the battery cap mechanism, if the NW version is tolerable and what CCT it is, and how the UI is in practice
Bought one on Black Friday, received it 12/27. Nice light with a quality build. Here’s my question….how do you unlock the light. Instructions tell you how to lock it, but not unlock it! And I tried repeating the lock procedure and it didn’t work. Took the batteries out, didn’t work either.
Edit: Turns out it was the lock procedure to unlock it. I tried it several times and it didn’t work. Tried many other combinations to no avail. Kept at it with the lock procedure and it finally worked.
