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

Meteor M43. I thought it had something to do with preventing overshoot with boost drivers. Perhaps not specifically required for such a small light, but for the sake of coolness?

Got mine and I like it, need to find a headstrap that fits.

The Olight S1R does it.
I asked Tom E in the NarsilM Thread to implement it for max. brightness. Toykeeper mentioned a driver which can do it.
You can look there

For the headband I think I sew one out of elastic bands. It’s only a band around the head and a small loop for the tube.

Several of the newer Olight flashlights do it during the mode change to High/Turbo and turning off from the higher modes. I can’t recall the exact models that do, but I mentioned it in my reviews. It is a pleasant little ‘feature’, but I don’t know if it’s intentional or not.

Still a bit off-topic, has anyone heard any more details about the AA version of the Manker E02? The AAA seems solid, but AA would be more suitable for my use.

Regarding a headstrap, found this: SKILHUNT HB1 Verstellbare abnehmbare Taschenlampe Headbrand Sale - Banggood Deutschland sold out-arrival notice-arrival notice

Yeah, it’s branded SkilHunt, but it’s pretty simple and cheap enough. Probably be a little loose with the E02 (mine hasn’t arrived yet to test). I’ll post more once I have the light. Actually ordered the headband a while back to use as a spare. Prefer the elastic loop to the silicone doohickies most lights come with.

Then again, if you already have an elastic headband, a small strip of double sided velcro, like the ones IT guys use for cable wrapping would make a decent loop for the light, IMO.

Have you plan to make 18650 headlamp? There is lack of 18650 headlamp with hicri on the market so you may be first.

ToyKeeper’s Bistro firmware used on the BLF X6 and popular for DIY lights ramps between levels. Lights with ring dimmers usually have a soft start, probably so they don’t overshoot the desired brightness while reading the position of the dimmer control.

Hello everybody:
I set up lock out, And now I can not turn on the lights, please help me…

They’ve confirmed that they plan on making both a 14500/AA and 18650 version.

According to Trevi_lux’s review the lockout works as follows:

I read that as “single click [very short pause] double click [very short pause] triple click” to activate or deactivate the electronic lockout. As Trevi_lux says, this is not the same as six quick clicks in a row.

If you find the electronic lockout awkward, you can also lock the light out mechanically by loosening the tailcap slightly.

FWIW, Eo2 (with clip) fits Olight Nova H1/H1R headstrap very well. Not Too loose or too tight!

Just ordered E02 from Martin, cool white. Anybody find any deals for 900mAH AAA rechargeable. What do ya’ll use in yours? Thinking about Panny BK-4HCCA4BA from Amazon. 4 @$14.95 Ideas?

buy a couple of packs so the shipping costs won’t hurt too much.
Still way cheaper than panasonic / sanyo / eneloop but with quite similar performance.

i can't say nothing but good things about those batteries.....very nice. none of mine had failed since like 3 years or more. they still retain nice capacity. ....very very good, i have a couple of panasonic and really they stand with them no prob for daily use

Agree two previous posts. Only wonder why AA version of this cells is twice more expensive than AAA (oruginal enerloops have 20-30% price difference).

I love the brand name too. :smiley:

Is there any news on the release of the AA version of this light?

Thanks for the help, but FT shipping is crazy $35. Found some Turnigy 900mAh LSD at HobbyKing, but their reviews kinda scary.
