[New Release] Mankerlight E05 II AL/Cu 1300 Lumen Highest Output Pocket EDC Flashlight in 14500/AA Class

Tired of the Zebra Light- Look-A-Lights… :confounded:

The Zebralight styling is too round for me too, in fact all those angled headlamps have that round-ish head, while I like straight lines and edges.

clerical error

I sincerely hope that there will be 18650 Body Tube Flashlight Accessories .

as Eagle eyes X1R . Can extend the use time .

Instead of launching another new product. (18650 H05)

I really fancy a E04. Been keenly after a little right angle torch with
Mini li-ion cell. Instead of a AAA cell.
Lots of flashing modes :smiley:
Flood patten
USB charge
headstrap (opt)
pocket clip
voltage level indication.
magnet
etc etc
basicly its just what i’ve been after :slight_smile:

£34 sounds like theres price markup.

If its made better than the first mini torch/flashlight (flat, keychain style) manker did, cus the button cover fell out of mine and so i had to tape some foam over the switch for it to work. Also the leds own lens and white foster stuff, came off when i took it apart in my effort to solder a better fix. I guess the led had gotten very/too hot.

However in the E02, the heatsink design looks far better. Looking at reviewers photos. So if the heat sinking in the E04 is as good or better than the E02 i will feel more confidant that it will have longer product life span. :slight_smile:

heh i use my first manker keychain torch as a fancy blue light now :slight_smile:

hehe if theres a coupon ill keenly buy one now. else i am waiting to see if price goes down.
cus for £35 there is the TI version of E02! while the Au version is £20~ but i really want E04 and its native liion cell. :slight_smile:
I guess your keen to get your money back after investing in tooling, setup, moulds, etc

Feature tweak: I would love the switch modes via double click to have a longer time threshold or a different click patten because with cold hands its very hard to click that quickly. I am a young person (23 years old)

Wish list:
Tough industrial metal switch.
USB powered mode
Water*poof* usb socket. not a rubber cover/flap.

Greetings. The runtimes of Manker E04 don’t looks strange? While you have 1.4 h at 200 lumen - seems correct. But 1.7 h not too low for 100lumen with 650mAh?

No, it’s the opposite.

If we include loss of efficiency in the circuit, 1,7h seems perfectly normal for a 2,35Wh 16340, since the LED will draw around 1,00W.

On the other hand, if the LED draws 2W for 200 lumens, the light should only be able to run for 1,15h, at best. That means the brightness will step down at one point.

Maybe.
But it seems to me that the circuit should not have so many losses, otherwise the moonlight was not so long. I just compare with other runtimes of flashlights.
Also i sure here step-down on turbo which is not listed in the specifications.

What is upgraded in U11 “upgraded version” ?

Any 219 versions of the E02? I even tried all 3 colors, got ” :exclamation: the combination you selected is unavailable” or somesuch.

I wanted to get a couple, but I really don’t want those any of those hateful little G3s. I have to slap on like 3 layers of diffusion film to mask the ugly ugly beams that G3s make in reflector lights.

Ugh, PP is disabled as a payment option. Wtf??

Where do you see this mentioned? Never mind, I found it. I don’t see any difference either. You would think they would mention what is improved on it.

Different UI.

After some searching I found reference to “Manker upgraded driver, UI, switch…”

The UI has definitely changed, Turbo has moved to the blinky mode group. And it no longer allows you to choose 1,2,3 for each level. Can only configure moonlight level.
OLD:

NEW:

As for driver and switch upgrade, I can find no extra details. But indeed there were many reports of unreliability in 2016 so perhaps the changes were warranted ?

The ‘upgraded version’ is not actually new, it appeared in 2018 best I can tell from wayback.

I received my CW E03H that was 1/2 price on clearance from Manker and it has the new mode sequence listed above - same a the Folomov “wave” mode sequence, which I don’t like.

I prefer the sequence to go to low from turbo, rather than going to high from turbo.

The headband can’t hold the light stable - the light bounces when I walk.

The diffuser does glare down into my eyes and glasses - might be reduced by applying black marker to the bottom edge.

I like the beam pattern.

The CRI appears to be adequate for EDC use.

It seems heavier than a AA headlamp needs to be, but it might survive being ran over by a tank.

Mine goes to moonlight after cycling out of the turbo group. Or if double pressing into and out of turbo, it goes to whatever mode it was on before.

Agreed, the diffuser, whether engaged or not, can shine some light into the eyes especially when on the headband, if the light is pointing low enough.

Mine, also, but it goes to medium from high, rather than going to ml or l. ml-l-m-h-m-l-ml.
