Review : Manker E02 , bright AAA flashlight

Thanks for your interest !

I have some more things to add tomorrow .

I actually changed the parasitic drain value , 0.014 mA is when the driver “boots” , then it is stable at 0.009mA

Boots? What do you mean? If this thing is powered by Windows, then I’m out! :smiley:

Every eswitch driver that has a microcontroller “boots” when you enter the battery , and draws a little more current , 0.005 more in e02 for example .

“As you can see , it has the emitter on the side (like a headlamp someone could say) :”

Yes I would call it a headlamp! cool light, good review beam shots are nice make me wanna go for it.
But I prefer AA / 14500 size

Ah I see. I suspect booting takes like… what 5 seconds max or something?
Ah man this light is amazing. I’d say one of the biggest “problem” with this light is the customisable moonlight output. This light for this price, because of this feature, makes the LAD a lot less attractive (1 lumen red, or 20 lumen low). And that bums, because the LAD is incredibly pretty… It’s not easy being a flashaholic…

Yes , 3-5 seconds is a good guess .

You can’t believe how nice the programmable low mode is , lowest mode should be 0.1 lumen or what :stuck_out_tongue:

I know I know! Two things:

1) There is a philosophical discussion whether moonlight/firefly mode should be above 1 lumen or sub lumen. Now you don’t have to choose anymore, as you can have both… in a $20 light! Just amazing!

2) You know some time ago you had the Jetbeam RRT0 with the R2 led (I thought). While increasing output with the infinite variable ring you could actually see the led light up. That is just so cool. Is it useful? Probably not… but it’s just cool to have a stupid low output and you can look at the led directly…

Perhaps you may have several of these lights with different moonlight :wink:

Is it easy to point a L shaped light like a regular light? I would guess it needs to be held horizontally?

horizonatally on a hat brim, or vertically in a shirt pocket. Or just use the magnet to attach is somewhere as well. More versatile IMO than a standard flashlight.

It’s easy as a regular light .

Yes it must be held horizontally , but it is very comfortable in hand that way in many occasions .

Exactly :slight_smile:

My Astrolux A01’s firefly mode is rated at 0.14 lumen, and I can comfortably look at the lit LED directly. Very cool indeed.

I have A01 , lowest moonlight seems to be even lower than A01’s firefly .

That’s great! I ordered an E02. Gonna find out how low can it go :slight_smile:

In case you haven’t seen this yet; it’s the MK34 review by Advanced Knife Bro (also member here). Check it out at 4 minutes and 20 seconds for super low output.

Since we talked about firefly mode , here is lowest (1/21) setting :

Emittter barely lights up

nice picture!

Great light, great review!

Thank you :beer:
