Ohhhh, very nice! :D

I tried to look up the run times etc on your site but I can't get to the main page (products, news, reviews, etc). When I go to MankerLight.com, it loads mankerlight.com/index.php/en with no way to get to the "products" page (or news, reviews, etc). I'm not technically savvy so it could be me (or my laptop) but I don't have that problem on other sites. Just letting you know in case you weren't aware (if it's me, can you please let me know?).

The Manker E14 sounds great!
Can you tell us the different lumen output levels, run times, if it has over discharge protection and if it has step-down when the battery gets low? Actually, sorry for asking so many questions. Maybe it's easier to let us know when this information will be on your website?
I'm very interested in the 4xNichia model and looking forward to learning more :popcorn:

Yikes! Stripes! I think Manker may have hit a home run out of the park!

Where's the group but? :dog panting: 😜

P.S. I like the two-tone copper/aluminum. Copper where the heat dissipation is needed & aluminum to keep the weight low.

I do like little power house EDC lights, nice sometimes to have a bit extra on tap!, this seems to have it all!!! :cool:]

Not sure its safe to run a cr123 in it though due to the higher Amp ask! Would have thought IMR/INR only...............

How soon is it available, and any chance of an 18650 body option(I love 18350, love the look and design, just need the longer runtimes on occasion)...


I, too, am interested in the high-CRI Nichia version. Thanks, Manker. This is a promising flashlight.

The Astrolux S41 is evidently the same flashlight as the Manker E14. If you search at Banggood for the Astrolux model, you will see that an 18650 tube for the S41 is already listed there. Costs is less than $5 USD.

Now there's a really nice light. Proven BLF A6 internals, good looks and Nichia 219Bs.

Well done, Manker!

I want the Nichia version and an 18650 tube for it :)

That means I'll probably buy the Astrolux version, though, unless Manker can ship from within the EU and save me the customs hassle. Are you able to do that?

I'd buy a 3xAA tube too, if you were inclined to make one; I'd actually prefer that even to 18650. Despite the lower runtime, I always lean towards three Eneloops instead of one 18650, so I have the option of easily-obtainable primary AA cells at need.

I absolutely love "multi-fuel" lights that take 26650 (with thin sleeve), 18650 (with thick sleeve) or 3xAA (with series battery carrier).

There's a thought - does anyone know the absolute maximum voltage the BLF A17DD-L driver will tolerate? Would you actually get away with powering it from three Energizer L91 cells, for example (initial voltage 3 × 1.8V, for 5.4V in total)?
