Pros
- Manker E05 II. Nichia 519a 4000k option, tritium slot in the tail switch. Only thing is the optic is just plain glass, though it does have a nice orange peel reflector and gives a very broad, useful hotspot and tons of spill.
- a good and solid edc copper light would be the Manker E05 II. Accessible, simple UI, nice build, and available with an enthusiast-friendly Nichia 519a in 4000K. Dual fuel as well, so any AA-size cell works, comes with a usb ported Li-ion...
- This is a real sleeper edc light, with great beam quality, efficient driver, great thermals in all but the Ti versions. Dual fuel gives you an almost moonlight low with NiMH, and a 50 hr (!) low at 6.5 Lumens with Li-ion.
- Manker E05 ii gets most of these and is very well regulated. Neutral white version uses Nichia 519a emitter.

Cons
- I love that light, but I cannot stand the giant "Ti" they have to slap on the side of it. Why??
- Note: Pokelit and Manker E05 II have same lack of medium problem as Tac AA.
- Parent context: The Manker E05 II is more powerful than the Pokelit AA in short bursts, but the E05 doesn’t have a two way clip, so unless you add an aftermarket clip, the only way it’s going on a cap is backwards. Reply: The Manker E05...

I ordered a copper Manker E05 ii (from the coin page), which cost me just under $50 Canadian dollars.

My rotation includes the Acebeam TAC AA, Acebeam Pokelit, Convoy T6, and Manker E05 II. I think you'll like the latter.
