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

cute little light

thanks for the photo

looks like the head sticks out above the pocket clip, so the light could be clipped inside the pocket and still show light outside the pocket

the clip would also work on a shirt or jacket, so even though there is no headband, there are plenty of options to use the light hands free

I found these specs on ebay:
Brightness levels & runtime:
Moonlight 0.6lumens 84hrs
Low 16lumens 10hrs
High 70lumens 2hrs
Turbo 220-70lumens 3min-1.8hrs
Strobe 220lumens

the E02 red looks the same to me as the LAD. I like my Red Lad a lot.

I have zero interest in 10440 in unprotected lights like the Tool, Eneloop works great for me

I like the option to buy N219c, like I have in my LAD

and yes, the High CRI reduces the brightness by about 30%. I use AAA lights indoors, seldom need more than medium. I like the sublumen option too.

Another winner for Manker… will I buy one, probably not, unless it comes in Copper :slight_smile:

pet peeve, Dragon breath would be better as a Red led, Im not a fan of Blue light, thats why I buy Nichias, for the reds, not the blues. :slight_smile:

Im very impressed by the regulated output
have zero interest in Turbo, thats a quick way to kill a tiny battery

if I want 200 lumens, I don’t buy AAA or AA powered lights… that lumen range deserves a higher capacity battery, so it can run longer than 3 minutes, once per charge…

the Turbo mode clearly has appeal to many buyers that are attracted by high lumen specs… my suggestion to those people, and the ones wanting to run LiIon, is to look at a light that uses 18650 cells :-)… thats Real Brightness, not just a tease for 3 minutes.

It looks good in red too!

iffn the clip were able to clear the raised head area, so as to allow the light to be inside my pocket and to shine out, I’d be all over this

look at the photo, the clip ends below the LED
that means it would stick out above the pocket as you requested :slight_smile:

Great review! Is there a time frame for the AA E02 to come to market or is it still a concept?

I see it differently, the clip is taller than the smaller body of the light and could not rotate around the expanded head in the front.

thanks, that makes sense now that I look at it more closely

well, thanks for at least accepting what I was trying to say

I actually like this light and am trying to justify my buying another AAA

think I’ll wait for the AA

Hmmm…
The clip seems to be typical for Mateminco (Manker, Utorch, Astrolux)
Too thick metal is used and it’s bulky and cheap looking and they are basically crap.
They scratch the anodizing, they don’t fit properly, they’re too sturdy.
Best to throw them away immediately, and i sincerely hope they’re not already clipped on the light in the box.

Other than that, i can’t wait to buy one of these sweeties. :slight_smile:

nice AAA light. Is this available yet?

You can purchase it today, just search ebay for Manker E02. Ships from china, but it is available.

I think is Manker ebay site on sale now, I have bought one unit grey (I think is ebay Manker site :blush: , I hope).

About question of one guy some post ago about clip, “…hope they’re not already clipped on the light in the box” you are right, clip not on the flashlight, comes wiht the lanyard and spare Orings. :slight_smile:

Regards

It’s on ebay for $19.95
Seller: manker-gear
Seems legit.

I bought yesterday there my gray E02 nichia 219c, I hope they are really Manker guys.

The review linked shows 65 minutes with an Eneloop Pro with very flat regulation. It does not attempt to measure output. I would be very impressed if the output is really 135lm with that runtime.

well, I seldom use a clip on my AAA’s so I have at least 12 of them in a drawer, somewhere. :exclamation:
I bet I can find one that will fit that is shorter and will do what i want.
I just ordered a red one XPG3 (want ALL of those 220 lumens for a glorious 3 min light show)

…but the problem is that …. JetBeam Jet-u not offers 135 lumens. :slight_smile:

Ok trevi. Any comment on tint....i'm going to buy this one (undecided for nichia) and a k18 2017 once a deal will be available. I wonder how cool this xp-g3 e02 is...how many traces of blue have or if it is very ice white (as review said for 2016 version k18) compared from ultratac.

I see lots of blue in this review

Yep. Anyway since monitors can represent colors differently i asked for real life opinion to him and the OP also others who have that light already.
