[Review] Manker E11 XP-L AA/14500

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

Budda, I see the output drops after app 2 min. Can you manually restart after lets say 30 sec, and measure the output, like in this review:

I ask that because I want to know do you get that 700 lumen just once when the battery is freshly charged, or you can get that 700~ lumen for longer period of times, till the battery depletes or so. Does that drop happens because of temperature protection kicking in maybe?
Thanks

Does somebody by any chance own BOTH tints of this light and could post a photo of the LEDs next to each other? I´m not sure if I really got the 3D (neutral) version since the LED tint looks a bit cool…

Thanks,
K.

sorry, I don’t have this light anymore.

My E11 was delivered today, i ordered the neutral white version, but mine is much too yellow to be neutral white, compared to other led lights it is about 3000K or even lower, and that is more warm white than neutral white.
I don’t like the color of the light i recieved today, it is bright, but it is not what i wanted…
