I agree something looks very odd about this image, but the spill of Mi7 is wider on the beamshot comparison image also, so that itself is not the problem.
He says all camera settings are always on manual and always the same for every review. He also says the two images were shot one after another both with fresh batteries.
Okay, looking at the beamshots again, yes, I agree the Mi7 spill is wider, however it is very faint.
In any case, I think the gif images are very misleading. They imply the Mi7 is far brighter than the E11, which just isn’t the case. If he really did keep all the camera’s settings the same, then the scene topography is misleading the viewer. i.e., the scene is chosen to give a bonus to a light with a large, faint, spill.
I just thought about something else. What is the distance between camera and the flashlight mount? If it isn’t negligible, that would explain why flashlight with wider spill looks so much better in the image.
Good point. Also, you can tell by the shadows that the flashlight mounting point isn’t fixed.
Does this mean the E11 is brighter than the Mi7 on AA?
On AA (Eneloop Pro) batteries, E11 produces about 300 lumens for 60 minutes, while Mi7 produces about 160 lumens for 80 minutes. For the first 2-3 minutes E11 even produces 400 lumens.
I am a terrible photographer, and so I set all the parameters as indicated in the pics.
I can barely answer for my pics, can’t make judgement from pics took from other people.
Wanted a little more throw from my floody E11 so… for my first ever mod;
Using gasoline I de-domed the cool white led, now it has a warm tint… looks to be about 4500k. Have a cool white XP-L HI incoming, but kinda liking this tint.
Smoothed the reflector - green fine grit Scotch Brite pad to remove electroplating, 1200 - 4000 - 8000 grit 3M wet/dry sandpaper and a high speed drill, then Pinnacle Crystal Clear metal polished it with a Dremel.
Any way you could talk me through how to do this ? I ordered mine 3 days ago and hit the cool white by mistake rather then the NW … generally I prefer torches with more throw as well so this might sort 2 things at once … better throw and better tint???
I probably wouldn’t play with the reflector as wouldn’t have a clue what I was doing but of I could de-dome to give a tad more throw and better tint I’d probably give it a try!!!
Thank you 
… I’ll have a read!!!
Installed XP-L HI V2 6500K, and for better beam focus I fashioned a thin < 1mm spacer to fit under it’s reflector gasket. Now it projects a defined 11” to 12” hot spot at 10 feet.
I’m pretty happy with the result, what do you think?
Nice result, but I think you could have saved some time by just getting a Klarus MI7 with a cold white XP-L HI in the first place 
K.
I had the Klarus (it’s been gifted), wasn’t happy with it’s UI (quick click turbo) and lumen. This one is much brighter and now it throws quite a bit farther.
My E11 arrived today from this seller
but there was no spare O rings 
I am using a sanyo lithium 3.7v 800mah battery and i am impressed with it apart from the lack of spare O rings, i have messaged the seller
That made me check mine and it’s the same from the same seller … let us know what response you get from them ???
Could it possible be they’re fakes
Nice review! Thanks!
By the looks of it, this ebay account belongs to the Manker manufacturer itself.
I have contacted them through eBay and have no response, that is not good
Still no reply from the seller, i was going to get another Manker but this NO Response has put me off, i will buy a O Light next time, the X7 looks nice.
