Review New Manker E02 (AAA powered)

You are right the moon mode does have a wide range and I have now carefully counted each step and found that there are 21 levels instead of the original 16 I had stated.

I have seen so many times where a number of people either complain about a moon or firefly mode being too bright or too dim on a given light for their liking. Some like a super low moon while others like a little brighter moon mode , I am sure according to their own eyes and how sensitive they are , how good the individuals vision is etc……

That was what makes me like the ability to set the moon mode to each persons desired liking , as then there is no complaints and you have your own perfect moon level for your eyes once you set it where you like it for yourself.

Again this is a personal observation and the adjustable moon mode may or may not be liked by others as well as it is by myself.

Agree with your assessment. I had not thought of it that way.

very nice review, Manker got a good deal in this transaction :slight_smile:

terrific AAA light, will have to pick one up when available.

thank you robo…

Thanks SP…….I haven’t seen a price yet , but I think it should be announced soon , unless it has been already and I just haven’t seen it.

They said $19.95 in post #15 of Budda’s review thread of this light.

Thanks for the info…… I never saw the price.

Manker is selling them on eBay for $19.95 with free shipping (to me, here in the US, anyway) from China via e-packet

Manker E02 on eBay

looks like a nice little light.

I have looked at a few of these review, and each shows the user interface sheet screenshot. Some of those user interface sheets mention dragon breath, and others do not. How I saw how to get into that mode was to turn the light off and continue holding down the switch will get the light into dragon breath mode. In this mode the there is a light behind the switch that pulsates slowly.

Does your light have the dragon breath feature?

Hey SB……
If mine has that feature I am unable to find it on the user guide or the light either one.

Ok, thank you for trying.

So there is a headband planned for this light?

I believe Manker is thinking about the option on the headband.

Hmm… I wonder how effective this will be as a headlamp.
It’s probably too focussed for close up things and not bright enough for distance.
It’s a ‘must have’ though, i ordered a grey one with XP-G3.

It isn’t bad for close up work and It does well out to around 35 or 40 yards , it is a more floody beam though not throwy.

Purchase from Manker at your own risk. Manker’s 5 year free replacement warranty is a scam. HKEquipment sent me a defective U23. They wanted me to ship the light back to Hong Kong at my own expense, even thought I ordered from their US warehouse. I contacted Manker directly and they refused to replace it or even send me a replacement driver. Manker said I had to pay to ship it back.

Hell hath no fury like that of a customer scorned.

Congrat’s on 1000 posts as well!

Maybe I should post my gripe in every one of the threads Manker has spammed today :smiley:

If you paid with Paypal, they have a feature where Paypal will pay for the shipping at no cost to you. I’ve never used it, but the details say you just need to make the postal claim and then send them proof you mailed it. Or I guess you could try to make a claim that you received damaged goods, though they’ll probably just say you have to mail it back to get your refund.

In any case, I wouldn’t want a replacement or repair. Try to get your money back.

What if everyone with Mankerbeef (yes, it’s an official word) did the same… :smiley:
