Review: Manker E02 (AAA, L shaped, XP-G3 200+ Lumens)

You mean X5?

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

X5 may be the one. Manker donated entire sale of like 50 units.

Yes,we did that. Thanks to the members who bought these X5.

Will you have AA version of E02 soon?

why you know our plan?

So, that’s a yes? That’d be my preferred format for this.

+1 I agree AA / 14500(protected) NW /WW :+1:

Yup. This light begs to be a 1xAA neutral white light that comes with a simple headband. (I presume targeting the Zebralight market, like the T01 does, from the looks of it.) Still, it is very impressive output for a 1xAAA light, but unfortunately AAA batteries just don’t hold enough juice to give them useful runtimes for outdoors.

Thanks for the review, Buddha.

+1 for a AA version and headband.

Wow, that’s great !

yes, it's on our plan, I think you will like it.

Great, hopefully it will take protected 14500 and have lower working voltage. My E11 doesn’t power on if it goes below 1.2v using Eneloops

I can't find the E02 anywhere...anybody of the business people here willing please to make a groupbuy for that ... LOL :P

ALso would be possible maybe for the people who received the samples from Manker to test it with a 10440?

Hi theBo, I think this is a flashlight for good NiMH batteries (is the most powerful 1xaaa NiMH at this moment) . Have no sense for me, try in this the 10440 not reliables and insecure batteries…

mmm I guess you have your point too! Sure for everyday use makes little sense Good thought. Thank you It was just for having an idea maybe.

Anyway i see from the graphs that it can mantain high (just 65lm) for 100 minutes or so. Am i right if i say that seems less efficient than let's say Jetbeam μ which can mantain 100ish lumens for almost 85 min?

And i like the engineering mode a lot! Also The fireflymode is a real plus in this category of light

Sorry Sir:

1. here we are talking about realistic values, you can see Budda runtime graph and this that is mine :

2. In other part you are talking about a big lie: 100 lumens for 85 minutes Jet-u…ha,ha,ha…sorry. You can see Budda Review of Jet-u, with a 950mA battery get 55 minutes of 100 lumens with the Jet-u.
Be reallistic, JetBeam offers a joke dates for his runtimes and lumens :wink: ……

The E02 is awesome well regulated, incredible value for runtime with NiMH, and incredible 3 minutes of flat curve with more than 200 lumens, with reliable, environmentally friendly and quite safe aaa NiMH batteries (eneloop, fujitsu,etc)

Regards

Hi trevi, i don't know how you get so upset like i'm a salesman from jetbeam, well i'm not. I'm an end user like many others here, and i'm not so lucky to get free samples to test, so sorry, i don't know why you turned out so bad, anyway i based my conclusions on others review. I checked the review in the OP for the E02 and for the jet beam micro which seems causes you so trouble i checked this review http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?420910-Jetbeam-Jet-%26%23956%3B-(XP-G2-S2-1xAAA)-amp-Jet-1-MK-(XP-G2-S2-1xAA)-Review

I repeat i don't know how you could turned out so bad but i just referred to OTHERS review.

EDIT and if you read my previous post i said clearly that i would be in for a groupbuy for the E02

EDIT2 and FYI i do like a lot your reviews and i appreciate your efforts...to be clear.

Hello Sorry for the misunderstood:

1. I’m not lucky to get free samples for test. I have bad luck, because it takes many hours of work …:wink:

2. Anyway, the vast majority of my reviews, are made with flashlights that I bought with my money as an end user, just like you. (Only then I dedicate some of my hours of free time to do some review like the ones you see in my title.)

3. I bought 2 Jet-u with my money and it was not worth reviewing, it is a nice flashlight, and acceptable for the price, but nothing special. I’m really a little annoyed with JetBeam, because their runtime data is exaggeratedly false, I’ve ever commented to jetbeam by email, and they’ve simply not answered or simply told me their data was fine. And sometimes (this is not the case, the discrepancy is not of the worst) have put real nonsense in their pictures of lumens and runtimes.

My apologies if you have been annoying my way of commenting things, it’s just that I do not work for anyone, the reviews are very labor-intensive and I usually do them with samples I buy just like you as an end user.

@Mankerlight
If you make a AA version of the Manker E02 and it can take LiIons, please make sure it can eat protected 14500 with 52mm length.
