Mmm, you egged me on to get my OG CatMini from the review (with those powerlines, etc.). I like eggs, so…
Anyhoo, even though it’s only 500 lemons (I like lemons, too), I like the clean beam from the huge TIR lens, and ain’t a fan of the reflector’s hotspot+spill in the new versions.
The CatMini and GTmicro are my fave show-offy lights for micro-throwers.
The 'micro especially, because it’s so skinny and people think of it as a goofball toy light until I light up trees on the next block with it. I almost always keep it in momentary mode so just a quick touch gives me full blast and only when I need it.
The CatMini, 'too, because you can just palm it and no one know you got it in your hand 'til you light up shiite with it.
I got lost: how many models/options are available for MC13 II - and do they differ beam-wise and runtime/regulation wise?
Is that just LEDs or the driver/optics/construction?
Also, in addition to 18350 and 18650 native support, there is an optional 21700 tube for it. Have people tried it?
This seems to be what Manker has available in MC13 dept.
p.s. At the end of MC13 offerings, there is an interesting, if expensive, combo kit:
Uhhhhh, unno. I never mentioned any Mankers, probably because I don’t have any Mankers.
I loaded up on most of my lights over the years because of sales, codes, coupons, etc.
Manker was always “This is our list price, so take it or leave it”.
