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

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!

Start watching at 2 minutes in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTpRKCJ7bvk
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.

Is the Nichia closer to 4000K or 5000K? I’d be interested in the AA version but only if it’s 5000K.

afaik the E02 is not an AA light, it is AAA
If the N219c is anything like what they put in the LAD, it is 4000k, not 5000k

move along, these are not the 5000k AA droids you’re looking for… :wink:

This light is now on the Manker website: Manker E02 II 420 Lumens Ultra-Compact Pocket EDC Flashlight

I was a little disappointed to see the description of the UI on the website does not include the dragon breath mode shown in the UI displayed in this review (step 5 in first post in User Interface section. But it would not shock me to find that the feature is actually there. Either way, I am looking forward to trying this light out.

Same here, went for the grey so I can pretend its a Zebralight

thanks for the link. If I order off Manker’s website, where does it ship from? Thanks.
