Well , after seeing a few reviews , I thought I might have to add this one to the collection .
I got mine from Manafont
As can be seen , the E09 is very size competitive with other AAA flashlights , smaller is better .
One of the things that sold me was the lack of blinky modes , and the physical size of the light .
Performance
Nimh AAA battery ...
Low = 3L / 0.06A Medium = 46L / 0.56A High = 143L / 1.53A
Compared to a few other lights :
ITP = 3 / 22 / 77
Maratac = 2 / 22 / 82
MrLite = 15 / 40 / 59
N-Light B3 = 3 / 18 / 73
Tank007 = 3 / 46 / 143
This light is very impressive for its size , 140 lumen on high , thats just fantastic performance for a small AAA light .
I like the 3 modes less junk , the levels are nice .
Overall a very nice little 3 mode twisty , its well made , well finished , fits together really well , and operates smoothly with no issues .
Now this sample is a little battery challenged , as in AAA batteries a little larger than normal dont fit well at all .
My Nimh Duracells dont fit , actually about half of my Nimhs dont fit . Also Alkaline's are a tight fit , some too tight ...
So be aware , my sample is battery challenged ...
Now aside from the battery thing , this is a very nice light , not other complaints to bring up ...
If you like a twisty light , if you like AAA lights , and you want nice output , dont want junk modes , you just might like the Tank007 E09
Nicely cut threads
Tailstands
well centred emitter
Comes with keychain / metal box
PWM [ cant measure ] but on the higher side
Supposedly supports 10440 [ havent tried it ] I like it just the way it is .
Very smooth twisty action
Some batteries dont fit
140Lumen on a NIMH
I took the light along for a walk , and it is very light , and disappears in the pocket when walking [ goes unnoticed ] , the 3 light levels are just right , Low being 3 lumen is near perfect for places that are very dark and you simply want to read a map or navigate by [ at night - or some place dark ] .
I think this would make an excellent back up light when camping , or an excellent primary EDC ...
No buyers remorse on this one ...
