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

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:

27

Trevi, 10440?

28

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

29

E02 can run of 10440 batteries in emergency situation if you don't have AAA batteries.

There is only one output mode when use 10440.

30

Thank you for answer. I have e11, u11, u21. I like them very much!

31

Wow,19.99 with the manker quailty?
It sounds nice.
The upper body design reminds me Xtar Warboy H3

32

You mean X5?

33

A headlight without a headband, really?
Mode spacing definitely looks odd and a 90CRI option would be nice too.
