Mankerlight E03H III is the Brightest Headlamp and Premium Everyday Carry Angle Flashlight in 14500 / AA Class
1,200 Lumens Illumination | Best-in-Class Features | Ultimate Durability | Infinite Possibilities of Use
Features:
1. the Third Generation Model, Reimagined
- We’ve redesigned E03H III from the ground up, base on huge different feedback from E03H gen 1 & E03H gen 2's users, flashlight enthusiasts and our partners.
2. Best-in-Class Technology
- E03H III uses our most popular and highly-requested technologies including brightest in class (maximum 1200 lumens output), most effective dual constant current drivers (Non-PWM), wide range of voltage design, advanced intelligent temperature regulation, high performance customized LED emitter or Nichia 519A high CRI LED emitter, copper MCPCB with the employed thermoelectric separation technology, immersion gold and gold plated connector to ensure an effective conductivity, high temperature resistant total internal reflection (TIR) lens, Low voltage protect (LVP) technology and reverse polarity protection technology.
3. Precision-Machined Premium Materials
- Made by aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel. The shell (head, body tube and tailcap) surface have Type-III hard anodized process for superior durability and corrosion resistance. The whole head shell is precisely milled from one single block of aluminum for better heat dissipation and stronger structure. The aggressive style knurling on the body tube and tailcap are precisely milled for perfect grip. Screw-on bezels surrounding the button & TIR LENS are precisely chamfer milled and then bead blasted, the bottom of the tailcap and the top of the head shell are precisely fillet milled and then bead blasted for a comfortable hand-touch feeling. The whole precision-machined construction are too expensive and difficult to make.
4. Easy-to-operate Versatile User Interface
- E03H III perfectly packs multiple brightness modes, Strobe, Beacon and SOS into the tiny package, bringing its versatility to the next level. One-fingertip press the metal button on the head to adjust the brightness of each mode.
5. Multi-fuel design
- E03H III comes with one Mankerlight Type-C USB rechargeable protected 920mAh 14500 li-ion battery, also compatible with AA NiMH or AA Alkaline battery on the market .
6. Perfect for Pocket
- E03H III offers an incredibly lightweight and ultra-compact design, Making it ideal for everyday carry.
7. Removable & Reversible Pocket Clip

8. With Adjustable Elastic Headband
- E03H III retain this feature from previous versions. The package comes with one adjustable elastic headband. Installing your E03H III into the holder of this headband, E03H III EDC flashlight is changed to a headlamp for working, or dog walking, or night running, etc.
9. Stronger Magnetic Tail
-E03H III retain this feature from previous versions. We boost the strength and the size of magnet in tail. It can strongly attach to any metal surface, providing versatile, hands-free lighting. Ideal for mechanical work, camping, and roadside repairs.
10. Multi-purpose Filter (white/red/green color option)
- Base on feedback from previous versions' users, we redesign the filter, making it easy-install and easy-remove, also plus featuring new machanical-lock function to prevent accidental activation. We retain the same filter colors (white, red and green) as older versions. with different color filter, E03H III can be applied in more different indoor or outdoor activities. Take some example, bedside nightlight (white), night reading (white), tent lighting (white), signal or emergency lighting (red + strobe / SOS) ...
11. New Lock/Unlock Features
Base on feedback from previous versions' users, Simple to operate is better, so we have modified new Lock/unlock program. From OFF, just long press 5 seconds to LOCK flashlight. To UNLOCK, the same 5-second long press to turn ON. As E03H III filter have also a mechanical-LOCK protect. so double protections can prevent accidental activation in everyday carrying.
12. Waterproof IP68, 2 Meters underwater
- E03H III have IP68 waterproof level, pass the 2-meter water depth test. so you can use it in any weather without worry and prevents damage if accidentally dropped into the water.
13. 2 Meters Drop-resistant
- Pass the 2-meter drop test on 6 dropping surfaces. E03H III has better drop-resistant than previous versions because of its stronger structure: the whole head shell is precisely milled from one aluminum block, LED copper MCPCB is screwed tightly into the head shell by two screws, driver PCB is also press tightly and the bezels surrounding the button and TIR lens are also screw-on.

Found this as a suggested flashlight on a forum. I now carry it every day, and got my wife and father in law one. I got the 800 lumen high cri light for all three to see the most details in the dark, and can see really well with these. The metal build feels premium and tough. The USB c 14500 battery that comes with the light is high quality. The headband turns this into a top notch headlight. Considering my last name brand headlight used 3xAAA (similar battery life to 1xAA) and had a plastic shell (which broke of course), I think Manker's light will have a better time surviving.
My only notes...the normal pocket clip could be swapped for a deep pocket clip for those with that preference. And the new color filters could be redesigned to snap on more firmly, similar to the last models snapping system...in other words instead of using the perpendicular indentation, they could snap on using the parallel indentation. I've had my plastic color filters fall off pretty regularly. Most people won't need them, but I like having red light when camping. A redesigned filter with snaps parallel to the filter lens would probably fix that. Not a deal breaker for me, and I haven't lost the color filters yet, but it is something I wish was better.
Overall, I love the light. I got some backup 14500 batteries and rarely need to charge this. I do have to open the flashlight to charge the battery but I prefer that....I'd rather replace a battery with a broken USB port than I would replace a flashlight with a leaky or broken USB port. Normally low and medium are bright enough for walking around, and the moon light mode is great for helping me see without loosing much of my night vision. Highly recommend.

I purchased this light as a gift for my partner who needed a small, adaptable light that she could also use to read at night. The quality of the product is great, the re-chargeable battery lasts long and recharges fast, headband is very comfortable and the filters have been appreciated. Also the customer service is amazing, as I had a problem with my initial purchase and they were very helpful in assisting me and solving the issue asap.
The different light modes as well as the adjustable Moonlight have been super useful. I'm actually considering getting one for myself.

This is a really nice light. Build quality is top notch. UI is really simple and effective. Adjustable ML is very nice. The beam profile is very even with almost no tint shift at the edges. Magnet is much stronger than previous version. Colors and anodizing are very nice and crisp. I went with the high CRI 519a since that really helps me in my use. The switch is great, I do think a slightly larger button would have been better. I also wish the bezel was either rounded into the head or was flush with the lens. It protrudes and is a fairly sharp machined edge.

A big fan of the original E03 light: solid construction, battery versatility, moveable deep carry clip, innovative clip-on sliding diffuser (use the red all the time), strong magnet; and a sophisticated UI holding a mix of intensities and modes that put it in an upper-league of its own. The E03, E02, and E02 II neutral-white models I've got all seem to match the CRI advertised.
With the E03 III, I'm glad they've got *most* of the features of the original, while experimenting with tweaks to reflect user feedback. The adaptable diffuser fitting is a cool idea, though I do worry it'll too easily fall off (ironic, since it was intended to address complaints of earlier versions being too tough to remove); the deeper knurling is superior to the original...
Downgrades, to be honest:
- neutral-white LED has a disappointing yellowed appearance unlike the past versions. (My biggest complaint of the E03 III NW.)
- new clip doesn't allow as deep of carry as the original
- diffuser comes off a bit too easily for my liking
-"beacon" mode is now blink-blink, instead of the more subdued single-blink of the original
- while it's easier to hand to a novice and it'll "just work" like a "normal" flashlight (one-click on/off), I appreciated the start-in-moonlight and overall UI design of the original. But I'm a nerd about it, so I can understand if the majority are pleased with the changes.
TL;DR: it's still a great, versatile flashlight, still in a league of its own. Despite the "yellowed" NW, I'd still recommend it to others.
