Replacement for Manker E11 Light

meeshu · 2022-06-27T11:55:26.000Z

I have three Manker E11 flashlights, and all three are faulty with barely any use at all!

Looking for replacement light with identical size, shape and similar characteristics to that of the E11.

Basically looking for small, lightweight light with at least -

average(+) beam spread (semi-flood)

neutral or cool white light

front (bezel) switch

runs off standard AA sized cells, alkaline, NiMH, lithium; but doesn't necessarily have to run off Li-ion (14500) cells (as well)

MUST have mode memory

should have at least three outputs, with the lowest at 2 or less lumens

MUST be reliable/durable

do not want or need SOS or flashing modes; if light does have these modes, they should NOT be within the main output level selection mode

Looking at the Sofirn SP10 V3 light at the moment as a possible replacement.

Any other lights that could be considered as replacements?

Lumintop EDC05 (but no mode memory)
Wuben E05
Sofirn SP10PRO
Skilhunt M150 (runs on booth AAs and 14500s, but is primarily designed for 3,7VLiions)

I would say that the Skilhunt M150 or the SP10 Pro are the best options.

Also have 3 Manner e11 all fine. Had to do minor mod to work right.

What mod was done to get the lights to work?

I believe for my lights the problem may be switch related(?)

Wrap a copper wire shim at base of endcap to help make contact.

Noted, thank you.

Any other suggestions for suitable replacement lights for the Manker E11 (I may not be able to "fix" my E11's anyway)?
