Manker E14 II is a new high lumen (2200) every day carry flashlight from a small company name Manker. Like most of the flashlight industry, this flashlight is made overseas. We pulled this review together to provide you with details on this new flashlight to help shed some light on it's overall quality, use of operational modes and most importantly what we liked and disliked. Let's start with the intensity of the light or simply the lumens of this flashlight. The Manker E14 II Flashlight has a turbo mode that can produce upwards to 2200 lumens. That's right 2200 lumens is very impressive for such a small flashlight with today's technology. To power and recharge it, their's an hidden internal USB Rechargeable port that's sealed inside the copper head that gives this flashlight an waterproof advantage and depth. With the combination of multiple modes, copper plated and an extra extension tube for 18350 battery's to make this flashlight even smaller, there is a lot to like with Manker's new flashlight.
You have two choices of LED's which selecting the new Manker E14 II: Cree XP-G3 LED or Nichia 219C LED. In comparing the two, the Nichiea 219C LED is less brightness than the Cree XPG3. It is important to note that the XP-G3 performs at 190 lumen per watt and has a XP-E similar die size so works well with 10mm and 16mm optics.
