The design reminds me of Zebralight.
I wish the interface is simpler than that, but it’s still a nice little torch to have.

Nice review Budda!,
I am playing now with my unit of E02 (red colour :wink:
I like the clip, 2 positions possible and the magnet allows many uses for this L light.

11

Hold on… red colour? As in the body is red like the LAD?

That.Is.Awesome.

12

I have not LAD in red, sorry.
You can see the red in the thread “photos of your new arrived lights”.
Best.

13

yes, 3 colors for choose.

14

Thanks Trevi_lux and Manker! Looks like a different tint red than the LAD.

15

price $19.95, do you like?

16

Very much. Yeah I like the price a lot! Thanks!

17

Thanks for your review Budda . Excellent .

When i first saw the light , i thought too this light needs a headband ! and voila , it’s in your thoughts :beer:

18

Yes, colors too.
Will a headband be available?
BTW did I see double tailcap springs in the review photos?

19

Interesting little light, thanks for the detailed review :+1:

20

Such tiny headlamps for close work should be equipped with nichia leds only. IMO.

21

Nice review Budda! :smiley:

22

Cute little light. 200 lumens with AAA, however brief.
Nice review.

(OT to Manker)
What’s the flashlight whose sale you made donations to Old-Lumens?
Link to the sales thread?

23

Seconding the 10440 question, if yes this is an instant buy for me

24

Trevi posted a pic of his red one with the clip here.

Neat design and very high output for a AAA light. Some thoughts for the manufacturer, as I see they’re in the thread:

  • There should be a headband, preferably a simple band without a top strap. The main reason I like right-angle lights is that they can be a headlamp or a handheld.
  • Instead of an “engineering mode” to set the moonlight level, just make it a four-mode light with say, 0.2, 10, 60 and 200 lumens.
  • It has a timed stepdown. I don’t like timed stepdowns.
  • The usual Manker e-switch UI that lumps the max mode in with the blinkies is kind of weird.
  • I see there is a Nichia 219C version (presumably 90 CRI, 4000K like everybody is using lately). Thank you for that. I’ll almost always give up some lumens for better color quality.

I vote for engineering mode, I have 21 options for choose my preferred low or moonlight…is great 21 steps for the moonlight, if you like the ultralowest you have less than 0,1, or you can choose, 0,2-0,3…… to a maximun step around 4 lumens.
4 modes is good, but why not the option of engeneering mode? is not obligatory use it…… :wink:

Trevi, 10440?

Thanks for the review Budda! In the UI instructions, it mentions “dragon breath mode”. What is that?
