AAA King of the Lowest
My Red Manker E02 w N219c, is my new AAA Firefly King.
No PWM, and it is High CRI.
I dont worry about runtime.
I use rechargeables, and turn my lights off when Im sleeping.
by my meter the 21 steps of available minimum modes goes from
<0.005 lumens, up to 0.6 lumens… hard to beat those options imo
Surprisingly good!
My meter is giving the same minimum lumen level as djozz, using totally different equipment, thousands of miles apart.
in any case, in the photos that show more than one light at the same time, it is pretty obvious that the E02 goes significantly lower than the Ti3, and even goes as ridiculously low as the Jetbeam Rotary in this post. (The rotary changes modes much more easily though)
At this point, the question is, how low do you want to go?
cause the E02 can go a LOT lower than most people would ever want, most of the time…
(and there is no AAA Zebra option, and zebras flicker, the Manker does not)
[QUOTE=maukka;5094246]Just an update on Zebralights since I got my faster sensor.
It’s not PWM as discussed previously, but don’t be surprised if you see flickering on camera.
I don’t remember the exact modes these were measured from, but it is similar on some L and M modes. The frequency changes depending on the mode.
In all the pictures horizontal center line is zero output. So it’s more than just a very low amplitude flicker especially on the SC5Fc.

imo zebras long runtime is due to the way the LED is being pulsed, very quickly, brighter and dimmer… most people dont notice in casual use … the pulsing is more a concern to me when the light is used as the only ambient light source, for long periods…
.
anyway, Manker Vs Zebra is another thread, forgive the hijack
The only thing I wish was different on the E02 is the weight. It is twice as heavy as my other AAA aluminium lights, and weighs the same as my Copper Tool (which lacks firefly though).
The heavy weight, is what is stopping me from buying the Ti version of the E02. (1/2 oz heavier than my Copper Tools). How long can someone that values programmable firefly resist?.. Not sure… I will get back to you on that…
I confess this price is also an obstacle. lol
