When can we expect to see reviews?
Can you explain why U22 is specced to deliver so much shorter throw than U21? It should be very roughly 15% worse, not 48% worse.
Thinking about it I came with 5 possible explanations (or partial explanations).
- U21 may have been overspecced. That’s not the case, 2 reviews show it to be 1-3% worse than it should, within error margin (note: I compare cd/lm, not cd or lumen individually).
- U22 may be underspecced.
That would be…extraordinary. - U22 may be overspecced….when it comes to lm, but not when it comes to cd
We’ve seen some companies scaling their claims as to cd and lm independently. Manker was not always perfectly honest with specs really… - Some difference could be explained by different reflector geometry.
If U22 was shorter (in relation to diameter), it would produce both fewer cd and more lumens.
But I don’t expect huge difference in geometry, maybe marginal. - Maybe reflector is of lower quality?
Such quality drop would damage Manker’s reputation and therefore is not something I’d expect.
Overall - I don’t know what to think about it.
That’s why I wait for reviews.
