I can’t speak on the model your looking for, but it’s usually driver issues they have. Or like the with the cometa some batteries caused a direct short. Also certain parts were agreed upon and used for the samples then when it came to production inferior cheaper parts were used. I wasn’t happy with the threads and anodizing with the s2. The u21 had driver and led failures. Even though other manufacturers run the xhp35 at the same currents. So I stay away from manker. I stopped keeping up with their models so much. If it’s in your budget my opinion is go with the zebralight. Here nothing but good things about their products and customer service

I see. :)

I’m asking about electrical and heat related flaws, as the beam on my E03H is nice, and so is the construction (which includes the threads). Already chipped off some anodising, but I’m used to that. :lol:

If the E02 disassembly photos that I’ve seen are any indication, the LED is on the same board as the electronics, and it has a DTP to a huge(relatively speaking) copper semi-cylinder, which in turn is in contact with the flashlight head. I don’t know much about these things, but I thought it was rather impressive. :o

So that leaves just the driver quality in doubt, I suppose.
