Summary

A novel design, four Nichia 519A with outstanding color rendition, a boost driver for constant brightness and a simple user interface. The Wurkkos TS26S is an excellent flashlight in its category – good job, Wurkkos!

There are just some minor details that need to be improved, like the sharp cooling fins. Also it would be nice to have a symmetrical battery tube with a single direction clip that you can turn around.

Make anduril version plz

[–] SammysHP 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As mentioned in the review, Wurkkos is already working on an Anduril version.

Ah thanks. I stopped reading when I saw the light being reviewed wasn't anduril. I really don't care much about non-anduril lights without other unusual features.

Could they possibly do an anduril version of the Sofirn SC13? Or revive the LT1 Mini? Either would be nice.

That would be a question to Sofirn and not Wurkkos. Although made in the same factory, they are different companies (more or less).

Hmm ok. That doesn't sound too hopeful then. Thanks.

How tough is it? My trusty Convoy L6 is flickering a bit and I wouldn’t mind something smaller to replace it.

Hard to say, lol. The driver isn't potted and a hard impact might damage the inductor of the boost driver or other parts of it. The glass can shatter, the aluminum deform. You can destroy any light with enough force. But for normal use it should be good enough.
