Most of the lights in my collection are Astrolux/Manker: Astro S1, S2, S3, S41, A01, Manker U11, T01 (x2). All great lights, powerful, good design and features. E11 fits here with all good things, however…
I had bad luck with two Manker’s T01 - broken driver - now afraid of buying another one.
My Manker U11 is good (black box), one of the best lights I could recommend to anyone. I would buy NW version also, BUT - again, many reports about quality/tint issues (brown box). Now I’m much more sensitive to the tint, so I’ll pass.
Wanted to buy E11 - but it looks like tint lottery.
In a group buy price - perhaps I would take my chance, but for regular price - nope.
Again, design is really good, but quality is not enough to enforce “premium brand selling strategies”. In premium league there’s no gambling.
Well, it arrived today. It’s the NW (marked “3D” on box), and I can happily say that I see no green at all. Quite pleased with the tint and the light overall, should make for a great edc. :+1:
