After a few months’ experience with the Manker LAD, I’m back to the Glarei E03 for a keychain light. I like almost everything about the Manker except that it came on in my pocket too often. I tried to remember to cycle it back to the red lights before turning it off so that if it pressed hard against something in my pocket it would turn on at that level. But I didn’t always do that, or sometimes it would get just a brief tap which would automatically take it to the white light. It was a little embarrassing to look down and see a glow coming from my pocket and wonder how long it had been on and who had noticed. And if I didn’t notice it, the battery would run down. The battery is also an issue since I had to pay attention to it much more than I do to the Glarie. One more thing that dropped the Manker down a notch was the slippery finish. If my fingers are dry, I don’t get the grip I can with the Glarie. So back to the nice little three-mode light I bought for a whopping $10.00 on Amazon. The Manker is now my inside-the-car light. Live and learn.
