Wurkkos FC11C EDC Flashlight 1200 High Lumen, 90 High CRI Led Flashlight Rechargeable, 6 Modes, Magnetic Tail, IP68 Waterproof Small Pocket Flash Light for Camping Hiking Dog Walking (Black 4000K)

Bright and holds a charge well.

Pros: -Good size in hand -Build quality -USB charging! -Nice warm bright light (90CRI!) -Magnetic tailcap -Has Thermal regulation -Works with regular 18650s (I have lots) -Comes with battery -Has different working modes depending on preference (Stepped mode preferred for average users) Cons: -Battery doesn't live up to 3000mah claim (closer to 2800mah, still decent though) -Button light turns off after 5 secs after turn on, would be nice to keep on while the light is on Full Review: The first thing that sticks out to me on this light is that it is one of the longer 18650 lights (at least with what I have). Internal USB charging is a HUGE plus for average users. Great build quality, it feels good in hand. The battery does somewhat rattle when you tap the tube, but it hasn't flickered at all. The magnetic tailcap is pretty cool! When you take it off, it brings the battery with it. Speaking of the battery, it is labeled as a 3000mah battery, but in my capacity tests, the highest it measured was 2816mah, but it did arrive out of the box at 3.6 volts. The light is pretty simple to use, you can assume that holding the button makes it change modes. When off, holding the button for 3 secs causes it to cycle from smooth to stepped ramping. When on, holding the button ramps/cycles the brightness levels. Double click for Turbo. I'm pretty sure the Wurkkos is under-rating the lumens on Turbo, as I measured around 1800 - 1900 lumens with the included battery on Turbo! This light does get pretty hot on Turbo, so it has thermal regulation to step down the brightness so it doesn't get too hot and burn out the LEDs. I measured a max temp of 60C on my infrared temp gun, which is pretty hot to hold, so be aware of that (it has a label on the head with a "HOT" warning for a reason). After stepping down in brightness, it held about 700-800 lumens which is still brighter than most CREE XM-L LED lights. Since I got the 4000K version, it has a warmish tone to the light, but is very smooth due to the orange peel reflector (which I prefer!) and still has a decent amount of throw. In the Beamshots, I am comparing the Imalent LD10 (1200 Lumens max 6500k) to the Wurkkos FC11. As you can see the FC11 has a much wider spot and is a much warmer tone. The difference isn't that great in real life though. The Wurkkos has a much more useable light than the LD10. You may notice that the LD10 looks brighter in the tree picture, but the difference isn't that noticable, yes the LD10 has more throw, but the light is also 6500k, which "seems" brighter because its harder on your eyes. 4000K is much easier on the eyes at night and kills your night vision less so than 6500k. The Wurkkos also has a much wider spill/flood so it actually lit up the whole tree instead of just the base of it. Also having 90CRI allows you to distinguish colors much better. If I had to complain about anything about the flashlight itself, I would make the switch light stay on when the light is on to help find the button better. Also, the battery, at least the one that came with mine, is slightly over-rated, it's labeled 3000mah and the highest I got was ~2816mah, so its more of a 2800mah battery and not 3000mah. Not that big of a deal though since I have lots of 18650s to use. I put one of my (salvaged) Samsung 20Qs (2000mah, so waay less capacity, but rated higher in current provided) in the light and it was noticably brighter! I measured the output and it was over 2000 Lumens! So depending on the 18650s you use, the light might be brighter, but its plenty bright on regular 18650s as well. I would recommend this light to anyone! Plenty bright, long lasting, small, USB charging, and not overly expensive! Overall well done Wurkkos!

The Wurkkos FC11 is a ~1300 lumen 18650-battery powered rechargeable flashlight. As you can see in the picture, it comes with light, 18650 battery, USB charging cord and lanyard. As is typical for EDC lights, a clip is also installed on the light. The FC11 produces a long lasting and beautifully tinted beam. The joy in the FC11 comes not only from the 90-second 1300 lumen output it can produce, but from the sustained 4000k warm light it produces from the LH351D LED... No frozen white or green/blue hues here! As I tested, the FC11 charges the included battery to 4.18V, and discharges to 2.75V. That means it safe for both protected and unprotected 18650 batteries. Technically, the FC11 is a marvelous little rechargeable light. But what really separates it from the thousands of cheap lights on Amazon is the quality of the light! IMHO, the 4000k LH351D might be the best tint LED ever produced. There are absolutely no green or yellow hues in my FC11. The Nitty Gritty: When the FC11 arrived, I went about testing the battery, light beam, size/weight, UI and charging features of the flashlight. The battery came charged to 3.91V. As seen the the summary above, I measured both the maximum charge level and low voltage discharge cutoff, and both are great. They should keep the battery safe and ensure a long life. I put the supplied 3000maH Wurkkos battery through my Opus BT-C3100 analyzer. It indicated true capacity at 2932mAH.... perfectly acceptable. The FC11 has a USB-C connector and supplies a cable. The side switch flashes red while charging, and turns green (and then shuts down) when fully charged. When the FC11 is nearly fully discharged, the output will dim and the switch light will turn red... I did not notice its passthrough orange so it must have been brief! The FC11 without battery came in at 65g. That is 10g lighter than my C2+! In physical dimensions, they are nearly identical. It comes with a magnetic tail cap, and will allow the FC11 to be stuck to anything iron. The FC11 User Interface (UI) is a simple. It has two ramping modes (stepped or smooth), and it's easy to switch between them. A long press from off comes up in lowest/moon mode. A double click from off comes up in maximum output mode. A single click comes up in one of the ramped modes, a the level that the light was clicked off. When on, holding the side switch ramps through the light levels (low->high over and over). I like it because it has immediate access to low and high light levels from off, and you can ramp to any level you want. The stepped ramp has 5 levels including turbo. At any time, on or off, a double click gets you maximum output power (turbo). Let me end with a word about light levels and temperature. The FC11 is a small light. NO small flashlight can maintain 1300 lumen output without getting very very hot,so the FC11 has a 90 second stepdown from turbo to its next highest light level at 700 lumens. At the 300 lumen level, I measured temperature on the light at 102F. If you want a light that can maintain more than a thousand lumens for hours, it will need a head (with cooling fins) the size of a baseball. With those expectations, the light does great at extended runs of 300 and 700 lumens. It will get warm, but no so hot that it burns.

Definitely the best flashlight I've ever had. I've had this flashlight for coming up on 2 years now. I put it on my Keurig a couple of months ago and I didn't realize that it had fallen into the water. It stayed there 24 hours. It still works like brand new. Still holds a charge and at its brightest will still light up my small porch area at night because my light just went out. Extremely dependable and would be great to keep in your glove box in case you need to change a tire at night etc.

Temperature tone. I have several M12 lights (Magnetic rover light / Automotive Underhood light) and I fell in love with the "True view" temperature of Milwaukee. I have several other lights that are higher in temperature (6000k), but truly do prefer having this yellowish tint. It's great for being able to mimic natural day light to get clarity when working in attics, automotive, or appliance repairs. When the light encounters a reflective surface, it has significantly less glare than higher temperatures, making it easy on the eyes and a pleasure to use. There aren't many offerings in 4000k temp that I could find besides this one. The price is right, purchased it for about $30 (Vs. $60+ Team red version). If they have a promotional sale, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Unlike the more expensive Milwaukee brand, this has a replaceable 18650 battery. It also boasts USB-C charging and a magnetic end cap. The grip on the light makes it very easy to slip in and out of jeans/gym shorts / shorts. It has a comfortable grip and adjustable modes. Adjustable modes. It also has memory to quickly return back to your original setting. This is very useful when walking my dog and only needing one specific mode, rather than having to click through several. Three clicks and you're at a disco rave (Strobe mode). Two clicks and you're in turbo. Hold the button and it can cycle through the various intensities. Hold and you're at moonlight mode (lowest lumen setting). This is what my more expensive Olight offers, and I'm extremely pleased that this is on the FC11. The biggest con would most likely be that the light clip does not offer the ability to attach onto a baseball cap unless you want to remove the clip and reverse it. Even then, it does not work well. If they were to add a double sided belt clip, this would be an exceptional item. This does not replace a compact inspection light because using a "mouth test" (eg, placing it in your mouth to free both hands), it will want to fall out due to its larger size and is absolutely not comfortable to do so for more than a few seconds at a time. So I hope that Wurkkos comes out with a more compact version, whether inspection pen light style or stubby version of this, because I love the temperature tone and the settings provided in the FC11
