i tried to insert an image url i posted the pic on facebook . i guess it doesnt work on this forum. maybe this will work. its weird because on the amazon ad they look like the one you have

The photo shows up fine.
I like the light without the knurling on the battery tube. Let’s hope it is a one-off mistake and you have a unique flashlight!

Is this the same light as Astrolux S41? Or just similar looks?

When they were introduced a year ago they wre identical. Since then BangGood and Manker has had a fallout, so the S41 is no longer made by Manker. E14 and S41 are still rather similar though, Manker seems to nowadays have a bit higher quality though.

The second generation of the lights, E14 II and S42, are not the same light anymore.
