I got my T01 from fasttech and the U11 from Banggood with freeme’s coupon
Does your T01 have the single click to low mode?
I have two T01 from banggood - no one has single click to low mode. And both are broken in different ways… I’m really mad at Manker that they can’t get the quality right.
PS. Answering to my own question - yes, T01 needs really good AA battery to work properly.
I was able to get in contact with somebody from Manker. I expressed concern as there are at least 6T01 lights that I know of, all with issues. I received the email this morning from them, and have responded. I’m hoping they will get back to me on Monday.
@Sprinkles, will you be so kind to let me know the result of this discussion with Manker?
Like I said - I have two T01 and both broken in different ways…for the second one now asked Banggood to resolve the issue. We’ll see how it goes.
Just to be clear - so far can’t say anything bad about Banggood, they had mistakes, but I was always able to resolve it. Hope they will continue working that way.
Well, I haven’t heard back from Manker yet. I’m hoping I will by tomorrow. I provided a video to them in hopes that they might be able to help with the issue. They did confirm that Fasttech only had a small shipment of the original/first release T01 so they shouldn’t have advised people that they were anything but that (in my case they told me it was newest version).
I’ll update here when/if I hear back.
Can someone comment on the PWM in this light? I think I am about to order one since I cannot find a WW Zebralight at a reasonable price.
Thanks Matt
No observable PWM on the T01 or U11
Really??? That is just to good to be true! I guess that will make this a must have!
Thanks
I sent u a PM……
I finally got some emails going back and forth from Manker, and they’ve agreed to help me out with one of the defective lights. I don’t know when (or if) they’ll actually pull through and provide a replacement, but I’m hoping soon. I’ll update here when I get more info.
It took way too many attempts to get ahold of someone through the only emails they have listed, but at least they responded. It only took mere weeks to get anywhere.
Yes, Manker T01 could be the coolest light I have…it triggered my flashlight-frenzy.
However - I have two and both with electronics failure… In a day or two I should receive new driver so I could fix one of those lights (or rather ask someone who could fix it for me). Only because of that I’ve lost my affection to this light.
Too bad about all the issues. I was going to buy one but I think I’ll wait and hopefully the issues will be fixed in future production runs.
Both my T01 and U11 are working fine, I wonder if they changed anything from the original run from the later batches, maybe a different factory
Did you buy them fairly recently?
Thanks
UPz Great review, I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for all the effort in producing and publishing the review
I’m on the fence about buying the T01 myself, I see GearBest has the light listed now.
I don’t feel it is budget priced especially with the issues posted.
I can’t speak for all the people who have commented who have issues with their T01. I can, however, tell you that there are at least 6 that I know of that have problems and they were all from Fasttech. I was told by Manker that Fastech only got a shipment of the initial run of T01s, basically the prototype model. There were not too many shipped, and they were possibly only to FT.
that would be an explanation on the cheap prices …
That’s exactly what I thought when they told me. I was irritated more so by FT since they told me that they were the most recent model before I ordered and then recanted and said they thought it might be another version after I had already placed the order.
