1+ for Manker E11 NW so far! will put it on the test tomorrow in the woods.
- Cons so far… boring black… the clip scrapes the anodizing… only selected 14500 batteries.
- Pros … small … bright up to 850lm with good 14500, nice tint (NW)

Thanks Budda!
Any discount code for the E11?
Awesome little light! For me it’s UI is much better than the Klarus Mi7… would like it even more if it had a XP-L HI smooth reflector option. I’d rather have little more throw than flood in a light this size.
Manker always asked me to test and compare the Mi7 to the E11. Last week I received and tested a Klarus Mi7. Here I compare the plots. Keep in mind that the Manker E11 was tested with a Efest 14500 IMR V2 700mAh V2 and the Klarus Mi7 with a Efest 14500 IMR 650mAh (the latest model from Efest). A difference of 50 mAh should translate around a 13% difference in runtime.
Thank you Budda, very interesting chart!
Just received my E11.
My initial impressions:
My conclusion: I like this light. It’s my slimmest AA-size sideswitch light. Very nice.
Of course as with almost every light I buy these days, I expect to mod it to my preferences.
Planned mods:
I’m interested… what’s moppydrv?

And read under “moppydrv Multi-Group Electronic Switch Firmware Option”
Thanks, but doing so I’ll loose the good regulation with nimh battery. What a pity.
Are these available anywhere with discount?
^
Yeah can it be bought?
on manker website or hk equipment
I like the regulation of this E11 with NiMH, very good!!! for 14500 I prefer the Mi7. Both greatest lights!.
Thanks for the Job!
Is the Mi7 brighter than the E11 on NiMH?
no. Check the graph above
Graphs and pure lumen numbers are not everything
Check THIS direct comparison GIF between E11 and MI7 on High with 14500
from the german TLF forum (from user kj75)
For me the “winner” is clear, much better EDC capabilities because of much broader spill.
YMMV!
K.
wow… that was a big difference .
