Hey guys, while im truly shocked i won this, since i was always thinking that there is no chance i can't win anything, some users need this more then me, so i decided to let go this light so our friend from cpf which has some trouble presently can get it instead of me.
Truly a great thing to do. Congrats on the win and amazing gesture!!

Thanks again GB for doing this GAW and Kathy for the arrangements and fast shipment!

Got the Manker U11 a few days back, a NW (5000K) version.

There are many U11 reviews out there already so I shall keep mine short and based on my personal opinion.

Things I like about the light:
1) Feels good in the hands.
2) Threads and o-rings came well lubed!! (This seems to be an increasingly rare trend nowadays.)
3) The USB in-light charging works like a charm.
4) Deep-carry pocket clip is perfect for well, pocket carry.
5) The NW tint is very pleasing without those strange purple, green, blue hues.
6) Light throws to a decent distance for a flashlight of this size.
7) UI is fairly straightforward and logical after playing around with it.
8) Double click from OFF to get Strobe turned out to be pretty useful.

Things I think can be improved on, in future models/revisions:
1) The battery spring seems to be a hair too long - a KeepPower 3400mAh battery was pretty hard to screw down with but it will fit.
2) Waterproofing the internals of the USB port.

Overall, it is a nice compact light with great tint and sufficient throw; and with the USB in-light charging it makes a great travel and camping light for me.

Some quick pics I took after ripping apart the package to get to the light.
