[Review] Manker E11 XP-L AA/14500

Lot of people worried about the tint.
Mine is not bad at all for a CW (for you cool white lovers this is a bit on the neutral white).
Here’s compared to a Thrunite T10 with an XP-G Led with a CW tint.
The distance at the wall is same for both lights. I set them to a comparable brightness level (can’t do miracles, yet).

I pushed further the camera, and I don’t know why the colour for both lights changes. Use this pics only to see the differences in the beam appareance, not the tint.

The T10 is not known as a thrower. The E11 has a wider beam.

I added this to the review post.

Most of the lights in my collection are Astrolux/Manker: Astro S1, S2, S3, S41, A01, Manker U11, T01 (x2). All great lights, powerful, good design and features. E11 fits here with all good things, however…

I had bad luck with two Manker’s T01 - broken driver - now afraid of buying another one.

My Manker U11 is good (black box), one of the best lights I could recommend to anyone. I would buy NW version also, BUT - again, many reports about quality/tint issues (brown box). Now I’m much more sensitive to the tint, so I’ll pass.

Wanted to buy E11 - but it looks like tint lottery.
In a group buy price - perhaps I would take my chance, but for regular price - nope.

Again, design is really good, but quality is not enough to enforce “premium brand selling strategies”. In premium league there’s no gambling.

There is a second E11 neutral white at same CPF thread with :confounded: tint.

Ya might wanna consider cool white if ya don’t like the greenish roulette.

Wh :cry: y Manker, Why?

Great, got a nw incoming. Guess I’ll have to swap emitters, baby puke green is unacceptable to me… Manker?

You may be lucky. Surely all NW’s can’t be that way…I hope…

Mine NW is w/o green. I like this model.

Luck has never been strong with me, but I’ll update when it arrives. :person_facepalming:

Don't worry, E11 have lanyard hole on the tail cap.

Hey Budda,
Great review again! Just to confirm, is the switch button rubber or silicone? Thanks!

Can you explain to me how can I tell the difference?
Maybe Manker guys knows better :slight_smile:

EDIT: they told me it’s nitrile rubber.

Will the E11 available at GearBest in the future?
K.

Manker told me no.
By the way, I got a Efest 14500 IMR and monday I should get runtime at high medium and low.

How about some runtime plots with 14500

Using Efest 14500 IMR v2 700mAh, charged each time at 0.5A.





Thanks for confirming that:) Does the material feels the same on the T01?

Well, it arrived today. It’s the NW (marked “3D” on box), and I can happily say that I see no green at all. Quite pleased with the tint and the light overall, should make for a great edc. :+1:
