Wurkkos FC11C LED Flashlights Rechargeable -Small Powerful EDC Flashlight 90CRI 1200 High Lumen, IP68 Waterproof,Magnetic Tailcap,155M Beam Distance for Garden Dog Walking Emergency(Green 5000K)

What's not to like? I got one for my mother-in-law because I like her. The controls are blessedly straight-forward. The magnetic base works well. The light pattern is very even and the color rendering is as promised. It is my new favorite flashlight. I really like it, especially for the price (under 25 around black friday). I returned a WK03, which was cheaper but the light had a green tinge, it's beam was a bit uneven, it had a distinct center beam (I wanted one that smoothly transitioned), it didn't have a magnet. The only thing I preferred on it was the knurling, I don't care for the smoother grip of this one. I really like the 'should be standard on all flashlights but the dumbest' press-and-hold for moonlight mode. A great way to not wake up your spouse (or a baby) at night. Other comments (not dings) are: The difference between high and turbo is minimal. The green color is a little dark (I prefer flashlights I can find easier if they drop to the ground). It will charge with USB-C to USB-C (some devices don't, for some reason). The first one I got (with a 4000K LED) was confused and didn't want to charge until I fiddled with it. The 5000K is way better for good quality light than the 4000K. The high CRI is noticable next to lower CRI flashlights. I wish it had crenulations so when I put it down face down, some light would escape making it is easier to find. There are so many variants (check outside of Amazon too) it is confusing. Mine is rated at 1200lm, hers at 1300 but they seem the same. I wish it didn't have a strobe. Strobe is nigh useless. I tried switching to the smooth brightness ramp, it worked, but I prefer the low-medium-high. The smooth does double-blink at the brightest, so that's good. Place the clip so you can find the power button easily in the dark, otherwise half the time you'll press the charging cover. I can't imagine the charging cover will last the life of the flashlight. The way the lanyard attaches it doesn't make the flashlight rock on its base. As I understand, it'll use unprotected 18650s, which is nice since I have 4 I've recovered. That said, the battery that comes with it seems pretty good.

The Review: It's a bright flashlight with three brightness levels, a center focus with scattered light around it. Nothing crazy. The main annoyance is that it takes a while to locate the on/off button each time. There's nothing identifiable by touch that indicates which is the "top" with the button for your thumb. I sort of resolved it by keeping the clip on the bottom, so when I pick up the flashlight, I should feel the clip against the inside of my middle knuckles. I'm new to these small higher-powered prosumer flashlights, so maybe this is a common issue. The buying experience: The first flashlight I was sent didn't work. I found out why when I got the replacement that it must have been used. The replacement had a piece of paper in the battery compartment that you have to remove so it can't activate during shipment. It also had a set of instructions and a charging cable that was not in my first "new" order. I noticed the top smelled like a burned circuit board, so maybe something happened. Not sure why I would have been sent a used unit when I ordered new. So if you get one of these, here's what's in the box - Flashlight in mini bubble wrap, a carrying cord that you can optionally install, a USB charging cable, a "thanks for choosing Wurkkos" onesheet showing you to remove the paper in the battery compartment, a set of instructions. My "used" box had an extra pair of gaskets as well, but the "new" one did not. Really odd.

Easily the best flashlight I’ve used at this size and price point. It’s incredibly powerful and the magnet on the back has been really helpful. Only downside is that it gets hot after minutes of continuous use, but that could be expected with a compact flashlight with this level of power output

I never realized how often I need a flashlight until I started carrying this. There are other flashlights that are brighter, but this one is just right. The light color is more natural than some of the superbright flashlights. I leave it on medium most of the time. High and turbo will light up the whole yard at night. Candle setting is great for fumbling around in the house without waking everyone.

This is hands down the best flashlight you can get in its price range. Despite using an 18650 battery—while I usually prefer torches that run on 21700s—I was genuinely surprised by its performance. I didn’t expect it to compete with my higher-end lights, but it absolutely delivers. It performs on par with flashlights I’ve paid twice as much for. The beam is very floody, making it ideal for wide-area illumination. It easily lights up distances of 40–50 meters even in pitch-black conditions. For under $40, this is a powerhouse of a torch. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performing flashlight without breaking the bank, this one’s a no-brainer.
