Manker E14 (4*Cree XP-G2/ Nichia 219B) is releasing

[markr6]

Dirty! That's enough for me to lose interest. I don't feel lucky (PUNK)

Oh wow!
Manker really need to improve their QC. BIG TIME!
I've read posts by some members here and on the other forum that their lights arrived with unmatched LEDs tint, dedomed LED, sloppy soldering works, etc.

Is anyone else as unlucky? Bought a xp-g2 with half cool white and half green tint and a nichia 219b with 3 neutral white and 1 rosey tint.

Thank you for this comparative of tint, I have the same difference with my XP-G2 Cool.

Is yours from banggood? Both of mine are. I have emailed them and their reply are as follow

"We are sorry for the inconvenience and I checked the pictures.For the problem can you please restall the reflector?And as for the light color we had contact the supplier about this,they told me they could not fix this problem and you may know that many of the other customer had report this kind of different in color on the forum.

Would you like us send you 500points for the little inconvenience?
Hope this is acceptable."

Guess this is common problem. Mine are the second batch and can't even open the top to "reinstall the reflector".

Oh wow, that blows! Guess that's the price we pay for getting such a light at a low price. Manker probably doesn't even go through the effort of matching the LEDs per light.

Probably the best option any of us have to get perfectly matched LEDs is to buy the light through Vinh, and make sure he uses very closely matched LEDs. Vinh would use his own driver as well, which means more efficient lower modes.

No, I bought my two Manker E14 on Ebay (Manker-gear).

I ordered my 219B version directly from Manker and couldn't be happier with the tint and evenness of it. Here it as at two different brightness levels.

Hey Mate,

It would be nice if all of us who bought this light or intended too, it came like yours.

But it seems their quality control is a crapshoot. I ordered a Manker U11 and it's quality control is lacking. It quite a shame really, considering they are nice lights.

If you guys haven't before, you should really give the Nichia a try.

Sell those XP-G2 lights and try the Nichia 219 version. The XP-G2 (obviously) can't compete for quality of light.

I received my Manker E14 with Nichia 219b. being super excited i had an 18350 charged and waiting in my office for a week before it showed up so i could try it right away. With great anticipation i opened the package and slipped in the battery. She lit up and i cycled through the levels. then off/On and then...........................nothing. Dead as a door nail. Pretty disappointing to say the least.

Yes I got mine from GearBest , I got one LED that not the same .i just going to keep it .

 

[jankowiak]

I guess you are right just buy from Vinh or return the one I have to GearBest . I thought maybe mine was a second but I was wrong .

 

[adept1]

I guess I got very lucky. Nichia from Gearbest. No green tint (subtle rose color) and perfectly matched.

Yesterday I was setting up a checkout cart at Gearbest, wanted to purchase Manker E14. As far as I can tell, Gearbest does not sell an 18650 tube for the Manker E14. Banggood sells the same light as Astrolux S41, and also sells the 18650 tube, but I'd prefer the Manker label, and would prefer a single transaction. If there is an 18650 tube for E14 at Gearbest, plz link, thx.

Not that I could find when I ordered mine.

I ordered the tube from Bangood and it came with O rings and fits perfectly. There is no labeling on the 18650 tube, nor is there a place for it.

Has anybody got a answer about the difference between the LEDs?
