Review: Manker E02. 1xAAA - XPG3 - L shapped

I suspected it was not linear math, but I hoped with Nimh battery that the perfromnce would be support such the ability for multiple 3 minute runs. I don’t know the mechanism for the drop down in light output (current draw). If it is simply time, I bet the NimH would support 30 minutes, or close to it, on high. If it is temperature, with long enough breaks between the turbo burst, I think the same still. I guess what I really wonder is with a 25% battery, can one still get a 2-3 minute linear turbo burst,or is the duration more like 15 seconds before it ramps down.

Some guys have asked me about cycling the Turbo again, after step down:

Here my test. At least support one new clic without problem (with a good quality battery):

Thank you, Trevi!

Now I like this light even more.

Yesss, no doubt!,
I have bought now one nichia 219C in grey in his store in ebay.

Thanks so much for this test!! I hoped/expected this sort of result. I imagine if this continued the light could overheat at some point, but I was more interested in the ability to be able to get turbo mode with a partly depleted battery.

Yes indeed! This light is available for purchase now on US ebay anyway. I got the red Nichia 219C. :slight_smile:

from China only?

yes

Gorgeous flat output!

Around 2:15 he turns the light off.
I would estimate only 1/2 sec of holding the button down turns it off.

Hello:

About red, is not exactly as the Mi7 red, but is really very similar:
(I have bought now one unit in grey, with nichia. Also available in black if you do not like this red)

Hi and thanks for the comparison. Indeed definitely not as pinkish as the Klarus!

I have a hard time choosing between red and grey…

Super review, as usual. Thanks for your efforts and keep the good work up! :+1: :beer:

Hi Trevi_lux, the instructions you show above mention a dragon breath mode. Wondering if you have tried to exercise that on your light?

By the way, the review is simply fantastic. So much detail regarding the light. Thanks for taking the time to show us all about this light, and the others you have reviewed.

Thanks for a great review. I like the light a lot, but why didn’t manker provide a headband for this light, eh manker? :weary:

I have received a sample _pre-production _unit, arrive without User Manual.
Pre-production have some diferences with the user manual provided by manufacturer.
In any case, the Turbo mode is accesed from off with 2 clics. Is the dragon breath the Turbo mode?, I do not know…. :wink:
I have bought one stock unit, when arrive, I will can confirm the stock interface.

Regards

I was just going by the user interface posted in your original review. In that picture, it says to enter dragon breath mode to turn the light off, and continue holding the switch down. See number 5 in the user interface portion of your review.

thanks, Matt

I have also ordered the light, so I was just curious if it had that feature. I will find out for sure when mine arrives as well :slight_smile:

As this torch looks like a headlamp. Does anyone know if we can obtain a head band

just saying

Thank you Trevi
I really like your beamshot animated comparisons
I also like the moonlight modes options and the next two modes, 15 and 65 lumens
the light is about 2x as heavy as my Olight i3s with Eneloop, suggests Manker is increasing mass to handle heat, as the head design also suggests

there is a lot to like about this light, including the magnet, the clip, and the position of the switch. Definitely a tempting combination of features, particularly for me, the option to buy the N219c version.
