    E11 operation with IMR battery

    As far as I know the Manker E11 doesn't have a lockout mode except to loosen the tail cap. The new batteries are Nitecore NI14500A 6.5A 3.7V IMR14500 batteries, specifically for high drain devices.

    E11 operation with IMR battery

    Hello, I've had a Manker E11 for several months as my EDC light. Up until Christmas I've been running it with Eneloop batteries and everything has functioned as expected. I received some Nitecore IMR 14500 batteries for Christmas and after charging them, installed them in the light. I've...

    USB Rechargeable AA EDC?

    I currently carry a Zebralight SC52w L2 using LiIon battery and although I love the size and brightness, I'm finding I'm frequently running out of battery as I keep the charger in the remote shop. I'd love to have a similar light that can be recharged using a micro USB port as I have these...

    zebralight sc52w alternatives

    Hello all, I've been drooling over and trying to find the Zebralight SC52W for what seems like 6 months now, but it is always out of stock in the places I'm looking. I've got a zebra SC600W that is very nice, but is too big for EDC use, at least for me. I've lost my previous bright EDC light...

    Recommend replacement light

    A brief history of how I got here: Started out with a TK103 3 mode 220 Lumen. Loved it until it failed. Had an Olight i3 AAA that started on medium. loved it until I lost it. Replaced it, but this one starts on high. Picked up a Zebralight SC600W. Wonderful light but too big to EDC in dress...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    This evening I was at a civic organization business meeting being held at a restaurant. We were supposed to watch a DVD presentation. Well first, the restaurant TV broke the day before, so a member ran home and picked up an old CRT TV. Unfortunately he forgot the TV remote so we couldn't...

    Help replacing lost EDC lights

    Sorry about replying to my own thread... But I just saw the Zebralight SC80. Although it is more $$ than I mention above, I might be convinced to purchase that.

    Help replacing lost EDC lights

    So I've been pretty happy with my past EDC selections, but unfortunately, I've managed to lose 2 lights in the past 2 months. I'm tempted to simply purchase an identical replacement, but wondering if there is something better that I should chose. I started out with the cheap AKoray K106 and...

    Help requested for an floody EDC

    +1 on the zebralight sc600. It seems to meet all of your criteria except for the selector ring, but since you can get to any of the modes without having to cycle through the others, I expect that you can get it to do what you would want and after just a bit of use, wouldn't miss the ring at...

    Looking for a light to bring to camp

    +2. Although if you aren't necessarily wanting something practical the tiny monster, TN30 and related 3xml clones look like fun :) --Rick

    High lumen 'impresser'.

    Ralys, I'm not sure where your scoutmaster's light beats your quark, but I can say that the above recommendation for a Zebralight SC600 is a very good option for scouting campouts. I have the SC600W I use on scouting trips with my 2 sons. The wide angle beam makes it really useful both in camp...

    flashlight for long hiking and expeditions

    Hello, first off, I'll admit I'm not as much of an expert on all the different lights as some are so I can't really comment on which model of flashlight is best, but I do have some information that may help in your decisions. First, I can comment that the outdoor color rendition of my warm tint...

    The perfect flashlight / This is a tricky one: (too) many criteria to meet!?

    Spiderwire, You asked if I had other lights to compensate for the lack of throw. I do not have any other "high end" lights and probably won't get any for a while. I have too many other hobbies fighting for funds. However, I do have a 3D Mag LED that certainly will out throw the Zebra. If I...

    The perfect flashlight / This is a tricky one: (too) many criteria to meet!?

    Spiderwire, I wouldn't say that the SC600 has no throw... Possibly a better term would be a wide angle spotlight. :grin2: I have no problems lighting up my entire backyard to the cornfield about 100 yards away. However, because of the wide angle nature of the beam, it is very useful for closer...
