In Manker fashion, I’ll say one word :
+1

17

I really like the magnetic tail cap on the EDC05. I will order one this coming week. Just got my Sofirn SP10B, my first AA size flashlight :smiley:

18

Just ordered the neutral white version of the EDC05 from Banggood.com
Just have to wait now.
Tick Tock…….tick tock…….

Very nice review and awesome photos steel_1024. It got me to buy another flashlight.
:slight_smile:

This looks great. I’m also a fan of Lumintop after their involvement in the BLF GT project. Only thing I wish for is a sublumen mode. I use that a lot on a light this size.

21

The stated runtime seems amazing.

22

OK, could not wait :stuck_out_tongue: Just ordered the CW one. It was the magnetic tail cap and 800 lumens that did it for me :smiley: Thank you M4D M4X for the code! :slight_smile:

23

The EDC05 certainly is a nicer body design than Manker could do. No Cartoon images on the button or Wank marketing mode names.
Your representation of the Manker name is why I do not patronize your products.

If I didn’t already have too many UT01 lights I would certainly buy this nice looking Lumintop version.
Thank you for the Review Steel

Does it support protected batteries ?

The stated runtime seems amazing unrealistic. Let’s do some math :slight_smile:

  • Cree XP-L max efficacy = 161 lm/W
  • 400 lm for 1.2 hours = 400/161 W * 1.2h = 2.98 Wh
  • 200 lm for 2.2 hours = 200/161 W * 2.2h = 2.73 Wh
  • 60 lm for 11 hours = 60/161 W * 11h = 4.10 Wh

A brand new Eneloop Pro stores 3.0 Wh.

Conclusion

  • the 400lm runtime is possible only with 100% efficient LED driver - this is unrealistic
  • the 200lm runtime, if it was true, would be really amazing
  • the 60lm runtime is simply impossible with nowadays AA cells

I am going to put this flashlight on my aaflashlights.com todo list…

Nice and useful website! :+1:

27

it gonna be annoying

28

Nope
>XPL HI
>Magnetic tailcap
>Stainless bezel over the glass
>One could also make the argument that the EDC05 has better heat sinking with its head being made from a singular uniform piece of aluminum.

29

Curious… Does the EDC05 have a programmable mode setting like the UT and E11?

30

This light looks great. Now is there any coupon for this?

I have no protected 14500 on hand.

However, there is plenty of room for protected 14500.

33

Thanks for the review, very good! Love it much! :+1:

34

Will the EDC05 be available at Amazon?… My employer rewards us with Amazon gift cards and I have some $$$ saved up . ;^)

35

Hi, yes it will be. The EDC05 is now on the way and estimated to be available on Amazon US next Friday. Expected!
