Yeah, not only that but Western reviewers associate the Manker brand with the strange UI and not too good QC issues as well. sweat.gif

iirc there were issues with the switch. i find the ui actually works well. it'll probably work well for refnulf also since it's soft click for moonlight (go bathroom) and double click for turbo (cari pencuri). the long press to access memory and the engineering modes are also plus points imo. plus i like its compact form factor and its stamina trumps my s1r turbo s. hence it's my trekking/camping go to light. the soft glow indicator really helps in the tent's pitch darkness!

i think olights that rely on their proprietary charging cable require customised batteries hmm.gif

Personally, I don't prefer charging on torchlights although it's convenient.

I'm old school with external standalone dedicated chargers. wave.gif

I would prefer if you mention what work you do and criterias like what Justin.Loong ask but allow me to share my wishlists for headlamps laugh.gif

Skilhunt H03F (due to the versatility of spot and flood with the flap diffuser)
YLP Panda 2M CRI (Headlamp with LH351D hi CRI LEDs are definitely useful for my ex electrician job)

for battery and charger, just go with Samsung 30Q and Liitokala Lii 100

If like that, then a headlamp would be a better choice so that you may be able to use your hands.
Avoid Cool White torchlights and choose Neutral White for better colour rendition.
Something like the below.

Also with a 18650 battery, you'll also have long runtimes.  nod.gif

If budget allow, I'd go with the Nitecore over Olight H2r or skilhunt.
Here are my reasons,

Skilhunt is budget range compared to two of those big named bois and with both olight and nitecore giving a more useful UI, the skilhunt became finicky thanks to the "hold to off"
If a single light is all you need, and you use it for work, might as well skip this and go with a proper good light with easy to use UI.
If you are a hobbyist, then the skilhunt is definitely a good addition to a collection of good budget light nod.gif (Maybe even mod it to use andruil UI rolleyes.gif )

I avoid Olight due to the propietary 18650 given. It's not a bad cell but if you want to charge the battery using the light then you'll need only Olight batteries. Common 18650 won't be able to charge.
That's just my only reason to not get the olight. Overall light is as good as other olights.

Nitecore comes with option to remove diffuser is already my way of saying yes to versatility. notworthy.gif

just my few cents

But take note that for the HC33, Nitecore says:
QUOTE
**Note: For the full output range, the HC33 requires an 18650 battery with >8A output. We recommend using the NITECORE NL1835HP 18650 battery which can be added via the above menu.The HC33 can also be powered by normal 18650 batteries, 2x CR123 or 2x RCR123 batteries in a pinch. However, Turbo will not be available using CR123As.
