My E03H should be here later this week, or more likely next week.
I intend to use it as an EDC light without the headband, partially because I have difficulties wearing a headband when I am already wearing two hearing aids and a pair of glasses!
Looks nice! Especially with that LED, but the lack of a mode between 0.5 and 50 lumens, the mode memory, AND the strobe in the main cycle making it impossible to avoid means it’s no good for me.
But I agree, strobe in the main sequence? Please, no. And the mode spacing could use some work. Though poor mode spacing seems common with AA/14500 lights.
Looks pretty nice, Manker. I like where you’re headed with the UI on your newly released lights (at least on paper, I can’t wait to check them out in person). And thanks for offering CCT options.
What is a good li ion to use in the E02 II? I was looking at the 10440 Efest IMR10440 V1 350mAh High Discharge Flat Top on illumn. Will the flat top work?
This is awesome! I have a red E02 II and love it, and I’ve been wanting a backup. I check mankerlight.com almost daily for new reviews of the E02 II (and E03 II), so now I will get a backup E02 II (tan) and will also get my first E03 II (green).
@Mankerlight: I want to order an E02 headband to pair with my tan E02, but the BLFCPF30 code doesn’t apply to the headband. Would it be possible to extend the code to the E02 headband? It would only be a discount of $2.09, but I figured I would ask before placing my order.
Thanks for the heads up. Already having two E02 v1, one E03H v1 and one HS05 is not enough (never enough), so I’ve ordered one E03H II. NiMH right-angle lights are my favorite!

How do you use them?
I much prefer the right-angle form factor to the traditional one:
Bouncing at the ceiling: with clip attached, more stable than a tailstand and the angle can be adjusted at will.
Hands-free mode: attached by the clip to any clothes part (shirt or pants pocket, shirt placket, belt,…).
As headlamp with a headband: I prefer to attach it by the clip instead of using a headband at eye level (more comfortable wearing, better shadow perception when walking/running, not blinding others,…), but sometimes use a headband for precision work, like soldering when there is not enough ambient light.
In the hand: no usability difference for me to a bar-style light.
My reasons to prefer NiMH instead of Li-ion are:
Less size/weight against 18650 and bigger.
Higher flexibility: can use alkalines if needed.
Safer, not only for explosion risks of Li-ion, but mainly because someone could insert a 14500 in a 1.5 V device by error.
Good enough: I rarely need the little extra runtime of li-ion at AA/AAA sizes, or the extra brightness. 100 or 200 lm is usually enough for me.
I like that review!

Got mine! The one that was lost in the post.
Not sure what to do with the other that’s on the way now...

Great!
But why strobe in the main modes? 0_0
Cool little thing but strobe is such a harassment while cycling.

What?
Strobe in the main mode?
The horror!, seriously, who does those things!
That’s a classic basic error
Very attractive! (the E05 Ti)

Efest flat top will not make contact. You will need to buy a button top (Efest or Vapcell is fine) or solder blob it.
Thanks! that is very helpful. I will probably just go with a button top.
Output measured at 2 seconds from turn on using Texas Ace Lumen Tube calibrated with Maukka lights. Color measured using Sekonic C-800-U.
The E02 II NW just sold out on Amazon. When will these be available there again? Will you please offer the headband for sale as well?
