  • One of the most advanced flashlights you can buy now, with an efficient yet powerful switching driver, active cooling, super bright and intense Luminus SFT40 LEDs, and USB-C power bank capabilities, the Manker MK38 is a top recommendation for a high-poweer, portable searchlight.

      Yeah when it came out I thought it was fair price, but now it doesn't compare well to some lights in the same price category. If a couple things were improved and the price dropped to like $350 it would be an awesome buy I think

    The fan operates outside the searchlight manually, so how can the searchlight be cooled?

    • @LuxWad
      @LuxWad  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The fan is centrifugal, meaning it blows air donward though the fins of the light. It's not the greatest system but it does make a difference in usage

    Hello, good video! I like Manker MK38. I want to ask you, for SFT40, OP or SMO reflector is better for you and why? Because i can't to choose.

    • @LuxWad
      @LuxWad  ปีที่แล้ว

      SMO will throw more, that’s what I have, OP will be a bit cleaner beam. I prefer the throw from the smooth reflector in this light

      I have both of these lights and have too agree about the smaller size and more throw. I have the X 7570.3,67,000 lm. , which can reach out to 1300 m. The issue with that light although it’s quality is top-notch because of its cooling system and the way it intakes the air over the head of the light. But it’s a bit Floody directly in front of you
      which doesn’t give you a clear Look .The quality of the X 75 as far as I’m concerned is top notch and unmatched. But like it was said in the beginning ,the size and the throw with the SFT 40s makes that little light a lot of fun to use. A great production with your video thank you again.

    An impressive mini-giant, but it has its problems and Manker overpromised both lumens and runtime on it. I can only think of using it as a SAR light where it would be held and used more than carried in a pack, so the X75 for the price is more attractive.
    Really appreciate this review, Pux, thank you!

    • @LuxWad
      @LuxWad  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm the review was helpful! I definitely think this is a very good option for SAR, it would be one of my first picks, but the only issue is the non-replaceable battery pack, once it dies it's useless. That's a big reason to get the replaceable-cell version IMO

      Acebeam does the same every time, while their light are impressive they can't NEVER sustain what claimed. Even the X75 wich is the most impressive, then you have flashlights like X50 that can barely sustain 2000lm...

      Newsflash: no manufacturer under the sun can sustain much brightness even in these big lights. There's heat buildup, there's voltage sag, and a score of other limitations.
