Would it be possible to update us on the total number of participants in the GB? is there a milestone we could hit to lower the price even a little bit more?

Not sure if emails were sent, just looked and didn’t see but I may have missed. Would still like to purchase and had signed up, but was wondering if this was still on hold for now ? My condolences to family and friends.

Manker talks about “HI CRI led” in the specification for the E14 flashlight.
And they write that the flashlight will have 4000lm.
I compare to Emisar. And I see that hi-cri flashlight modifications have significantly less lumens than non-hi-cri flashlight.
This is as it should be, because hi-cri led have a lower lm / w efficiency.
Could Manker be wrong about his specs?
And if the E14 actually produces 4000lm, then how much does it consume from the battery (considering that it does not have the most efficient LEDs)?

This is like textbook what most manufacturers do. They advertise the highest config for specs and may or may not disclose any other versions.
The 90 CRI will be a big hit in output 1) because it’s lower CCT and 2) because it’s higher CRI so expect something like a 20-25% drop for the high CRI.
Most manufacturers listed the specs (lumen output, cd etc.) of thier cool white (6500k) lights which has highest out put and stuffs. Get used to this.
