You may be lucky. Surely all NW’s can’t be that way…I hope…
Luck has never been strong with me, but I’ll update when it arrives.
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+ for Manker E11 NW so far! will put it on the test tomorrow in the woods.
- Cons so far… boring black… the clip scrapes the anodizing… only selected 14500 batteries.
+ Pros … small … bright up to 850lm with good 14500, nice tint (NW)
Awesome little light! For me it’s UI is much better than the Klarus Mi7.. would like it even more if it had a XP-L HI smooth reflector option. I’d rather have little more throw than flood in a light this size.
Manker always asked me to test and compare the Mi7 to the E11. Last week I received and tested a Klarus Mi7. Here I compare the plots. Keep in mind that the Manker E11 was tested with a Efest 14500 IMR V2 700mAh V2 and the Klarus Mi7 with a Efest 14500 IMR 650mAh (the latest model from Efest). A difference of 50 mAh should translate around a 13% difference in runtime.
tiny for a 14500 flashlight with sideswitch. Sure a Zebralight might be shorter, but the E11 is much thinner. I really like this tiny form factor.
Anti-roll is nice.
UI is ok, but not great. Needs a shortcut to max power instead of strobe. I understand Manker fixed this in their newest light (MK34). I’m also not a huge fan of holding the button to turn off. Works ok, but takes some getting used to.
Beam is quite floody. Not surprising given it is an XPL in a tiny OP reflector.
Bezel is not glued (yay for modding!)
Button protrudes and isn’t super-stiff. Accidental pocket activation might be a problem.
My conclusion: I like this light. It’s my slimmest AA-size sideswitch light. Very nice.
Of course as with almost every light I buy these days, I expect to mod it to my preferences.
Planned mods:
Driver swap to 15mm FET driver with moppydrv.
For the emitter I’ll probably replace with an XPL HI 5A2 tint on a direct copper MPCB.
Graphs and pure lumen numbers are not everything

For me the “winner” is clear, much better EDC capabilities because of much broader spill. YMMV!

I have to wonder if the camera’s ISO, aperture, and shutter speed was fixed.
Hey Budda,
Great review again! Just to confirm, is the switch button rubber or silicone? Thanks!
Stay away from Banggood. Unless you don't need any customer service at all.
Can you explain to me how can I tell the difference?
Maybe Manker guys knows better
EDIT: they told me it’s nitrile rubber.

Will the E11 available at GearBest in the future?

Manker told me no.
By the way, I got a Efest 14500 IMR and monday I should get runtime at high medium and low.

Thanks, but doing so I’ll loose the good regulation with nimh battery. What a pity.

I like the regulation of this E11 with NiMH, very good!!! for 14500 I prefer the Mi7. Both greatest lights!.
Thanks for the Job!

Is the Mi7 brighter than the E11 on NiMH?
