Summary

Earlier this year, Wurkkos released their first “flat” flashlight with a floody sidelight and a green laser. Now they added a variant with UV instead of the laser: the Wurkkos HD01 UV.

White spotlight and UV light, plus white and colored floodlight, combined with an elegant, flat design – the Wurkkos HD01 UV has a lot to offer. It is rare to find such a variety of light sources in a single flashlight.

Although the driver is simple, this should be acceptable considering the low price. With the HD01, you get a versatile companion for EDC use.

I'll disagree a bit. The auxiliary rgb leds on emissar's flashlights like the d4v2 or anything else using anduril 2 firmware has some neat uses for them. For instance mine is set so that the color corisponds to the remaining battery voltage.

They lost me with the UV though. UV lights have a purpose, but it's not something I use enough to carry around all the time. Better to have a flood and beam led
