[Review] Manker E11 XP-L AA/14500

Thank you :smiley: … I’ll have a read!!!

Installed XP-L HI V2 6500K, and for better beam focus I fashioned a thin < 1mm spacer to fit under it’s reflector gasket. Now it projects a defined 11” to 12” hot spot at 10 feet.

I’m pretty happy with the result, what do you think?

Nice result, but I think you could have saved some time by just getting a Klarus MI7 with a cold white XP-L HI in the first place :wink:

K.

I had the Klarus (it’s been gifted), wasn’t happy with it’s UI (quick click turbo) and lumen. This one is much brighter and now it throws quite a bit farther.

My E11 arrived today from this seller

but there was no spare O rings :frowning: I am using a sanyo lithium 3.7v 800mah battery and i am impressed with it apart from the lack of spare O rings, i have messaged the seller

That made me check mine and it’s the same from the same seller … let us know what response you get from them ???

Could it possible be they’re fakes

Nice review! Thanks! :smiley:

By the looks of it, this ebay account belongs to the Manker manufacturer itself.

I have contacted them through eBay and have no response, that is not good

Still no reply from the seller, i was going to get another Manker but this NO Response has put me off, i will buy a O Light next time, the X7 looks nice.

That’s really odd. I bought two E11s from that same seller and both had O rings with them.

Well i have sent them eBay message, emailed them direct, sent blf pm and still no response, customer service seems non existent. manker more like *anker

I dealt with Manker previously and they always responded to emails, although sometimes it took a couple of days.

Manker replied to my email quickly and were helpful. Used the email address on their website.

Great to hear!

still no response from anywhere

looks like a 219c or 219b (your choice will fit)
for more throw the T01 is probibly the call.

excellent job on reflector polishing.

warning

it is not easy to propery polish, and it is very easy to loose lumens from home polishing (ask me how i know) :frowning:

Sorry for the delay. We are back to office now from the National Day holiday.

We will handle it well for you, Just don't worry about it.

BTW, we haven't got BLF PM from you.

Did anyone happen to test the moonlight mode on this light? Just wondering if it’s anywhere close to the advertized 171 hour run time.

Thanks!

Nice review Budda as always!

Stevedog - good job! Is a nice combination smooth reflector and de-domed led. Maybe Manker should consider this, even if we have a choice for T01.

I have this flashlight from few weeks, a nice little flashlight for close kind of tasks, very powerful for 1xAA NiMh.

I use it with 14500 (Manker and Xtar unprotected) it still have good runtime with 14500 on first 3 levels.

The power button is a little to light (I’m used with U21, U11 and T01) but is a matter of taste. I like that you can power off completely with a short twist of tail cap
