Review: Manker E02. 1xAAA - XPG3 - L shapped

Thank you Trevi
I really like your beamshot animated comparisons
I also like the moonlight modes options and the next two modes, 15 and 65 lumens
the light is about 2x as heavy as my Olight i3s with Eneloop, suggests Manker is increasing mass to handle heat, as the head design also suggests

there is a lot to like about this light, including the magnet, the clip, and the position of the switch. Definitely a tempting combination of features, particularly for me, the option to buy the N219c version.

Is the Nichia closer to 4000K or 5000K? I’d be interested in the AA version but only if it’s 5000K.

afaik the E02 is not an AA light, it is AAA
If the N219c is anything like what they put in the LAD, it is 4000k, not 5000k

move along, these are not the 5000k AA droids you’re looking for… :wink:

This light is now on the Manker website: Manker E02 II 420 Lumens Ultra-Compact Pocket EDC Flashlight

I was a little disappointed to see the description of the UI on the website does not include the dragon breath mode shown in the UI displayed in this review (step 5 in first post in User Interface section. But it would not shock me to find that the feature is actually there. Either way, I am looking forward to trying this light out.

Same here, went for the grey so I can pretend its a Zebralight

thanks for the link. If I order off Manker’s website, where does it ship from? Thanks.

sorry, I did not research that. I spent a couple moments looking at their website and it was not obvious to me, but I suspect China.

Maybe you can look into it and let us know :slight_smile:

There was a post in the other thread mentioning the upcoming AA version. I would prefer it to be cooler because 4000K is a bit warm for use at work.

I eventually went for the red one, never had a red light before.

Hmm, the heavy LED missalignment is a bit disappointing, the clip is too beefy and the red color is ugly… but from a practical use side it´s surely not a bad light. Does it fit into a normal 18650 headlamp headband? I guess not…
K.

Arrived the unit Manker E02 Nichia, that I bought in Manker store (ebay), the stock package is nicest than the preproduction samples.
This is bought for me and not provided by manufacturer. The quality is the same than the production unit.
You can see that below the engrave Manker on the head, now insert the word “light”, nicest!

Big 5 year warranty promise on the box too!

Tints, Manker E02 nichia Vs Manker E02 XP-G3:

you are the first delivered E02 buyer?

Thanks for the new pics. Would you say the Nichia’s color temp is 5000K (I’m hoping)?

I don’t know when he bought his from ebay, but it was before me, probably May 12. I bought mine May 13, and best I can tell it is somewhere between SHENZHEN and Los Angeles. It left SHENZHEN early morning May 19. Wondering if you could estimate when the journey to Los Angeles would be complete?

I think you will receive in a week.

thanks for the quick response :+1:

Great review, as always. :slight_smile: I haven’t seen any lumen output specs for the Nichia version. Are the lumen outputs comparable to the cree?

Hi; When I bought my unit, I think there are 2 previous orders in the site, I bought it on May 13, but perhaps I am the first arrived! :innocent:
I am happy!!!
