Rosy!(ish)/Neutral - Manker E02 II (Possibly FA3?)

Aww, that`s a pity, because on their own Mankerlight website the checkout page has a Coupon window to fill in, naturally I had to ask! :slight_smile:

A Manker E02 II arrived in the mail today. It’s a nice little headlamp!

Pro’s:
Moonlight modes with a AAA!
Slightly rosy tint.
UI is easy to use.
Soft beam with the honeycomb optic.
Capable of running on a 10440 cell.

Con’s:
The magnet in the tailcap could be a bit stronger.
The emitter appears to have been rotated by about 15 degrees when looking at it in Moonlight mode with a AAA.
The pocket clip is a little rough around the edges.
The lanyard hole on the tail cap is off center.

I’m impressed. I’m looking forward the the BLF Muscle Combo even more!

Manker E02 II NW and Olight i3T (with dc-fix):


I`v had my E02II for some time now and my E03II arrived a week or so ago and they are absolutely superb lights! the E03 is pretty much like a the big sister of the E02II the UI is the same as far as I can tell, the 03 is just brighter but still goes really low into sub lumen levels.
I`v got the original E02 as well and with the SP40 they look like a happy little family :slight_smile:

Does the E03H II with a neutral white SST20 emitter look similar to the E02II NW? Slightly rosy tint? :sunglasses:

Yes. Slight differences (as expected) but still great tint. Definitely still FA3

Anyone have a Manker “Sand” anodize color?

It’s an option on their E02 II page, along with red, blue, however, no photos offered

I am curious to how it compares to other mfgrs Coyote ano, which is more of a golden tan color

Thank Tim!

That’s the cool bronze tan color I was hoping for… also hoping the same FA3 bin SST20 NW comes installed

Got a couple lights in my sights, one to keep, and one to gift

Not viewing the E02II on Amazon so ordering direct from Manker

Ordered 2ea E02II and a E03H. Aling with the recent E14III/MC13 acquisition… Man I’m flooded with Mankers!

Is that E14/MC13 deal still available?

Yes still available last I checked on Manker site. Click on BLF flashlights

It says it’s 109.95.

Ask M4X on the other thread for the EDC Muscle Combo? There might be one or two left if not everyone who signed up purchased it.

It’s an awesome little flashlight and the low modes are ridiculously low! Lower than my ZebraLights! I love it!

Didn’t buy the original headband, because I intended to carry it more by hand. But just in case I printed a mount.

Just received mine. First impressions and after a walk down the road is that it's a great little light. Love the UI, the moon modes, with an alkaline it has plenty of throw to light my way and workmanship seems nice. Mine's not quite "rosy", but it's the best sst20 I have. Very nice. Might have to get another and it's bigger brother.

Just an update. Many, many opportunities to use now. Still a great little light. I use it clipped on my jacket zipper right above the zipper pull. Stays put, can rotate it nicely and it lights my way fine for my nightly walks in the unlit park pathways and down the road. Still impressed with the LED and the UI - fantastic.

Only compliant is the sharp edges on the fins and the lanyard hole. Finish is already wearing/chipping on those places. Should be better.

Only improvement (besides the above) is to also make one available with a Red LED like the Sofirn C01S. For me, it would be even more useful that that one (which I think is great also).

Manker E02II Red NW SN 20201484 arrived today and it’s slightly green. :frowning:

The tint is slightly rosy on my lights from an earlier batch:
Manker E02II NW SN 20200848
Manker E03HII NW SN 20200672

I got a headband with my second E02II. It flops around a little bit. :slight_smile:

The headband came with it (cost you nothing) or you ordered it as an additional item (at a cost to you)?
