It is

Great…, Thanks a lot wings400!

Nice, thanks!

 E11 have cw and nw choice.</p>

Great pics!

Great review!

Sorry ,That is the engineering prototype for review. There is no such a kind of problem with the E11 on sale.

Looks a really food flashlight!

Thanks!

Is Ebay the only place its available to purchase in the UK?

Wow…30 bucks…looks like a no brainer :slight_smile: Great review. Thanks

Damn need the neutral version + a group buy or gearbest stocking it :slight_smile:

Really like this light, but can’t decide which one to get.

The Klarus Mi7 is also very interesting.

It is ratet at 330lm from nihm and the E11 settles at around 300lm - so there they are similar.

The Mi7 has a XP-L HI led, so it should have a little bit more reach.

Yeah I saw that too, and am deciding on which to get…

The E11 in this review has been “torn down” though, and it looks easy to swap emitters, so I can stick one of my XP-G3 S5 3A emitters in there, which I quite like in my modded Manker U11.

Not sure if the Klarus can be so easily changed.

The E11 goes from 400 + lumen to 300 lumen for 1 solid hour.
I’d like to test the Klarus: 300 lumens… but for how long? there is a stepdown?

Thats a question only a review can answer :wink:

It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Thanks for the review. I just ordered one in NW. :smiley:

Thanks for your review, I found it very useful!

Looks like a great budget 1xAA light. Good to see more choices in that category. However, I can’t get by the huge change in output from moonlight (2 lm) to low (60 lm). It really needs around a 10-15 lumen mode. Something like moonlight -> 10 lm -> 100 lm -> 400 lm would be ideal.
