Solid new offering from Wurkkos. I’m a self-avowed flashlight nerd, with some $400 customs mixed in with $10 beaters I’ve ordered from questionable overseas outlets. Wurkkos manages to hit insane price points but still hit the quality of the better known makers.
So the good on this one (and it’s mostly good). Clean threads, great o-rings, well made. I picked up the purple anodized version (hey, why not?) and it’s spotless. I love dual switch builds when it doesn’t get in the way of interface, and I think they’ve hit it pretty well here. Rear switch is easy to find when it’s dark / you’re panicked / you’re wearing gloves, but that heavy clicker isn’t any fun when you’re trying to access a specific mode. The side button lights up when the back is pressed, helps for finding, great. Lumens and candela / throw are fairly insane for this price on an 18650 battery. I think my favorite addition is the SOS mode, and now I’m wondering why all my lights don’t have SOS between “flash wildly to make a mugger have seizures” and “homing beacon in the woods” mode. Their dual clip is still great, and it’s light enough at 4+oz to put on a hat brim if you wanted. And of course, on board charging is great for lights I might gift to someone who doesn’t have a fancy charger.
Only question is how to compare against the TS22. Smaller battery than the TS22, which means diameter is a bit less, but it’s actually longer to fit in that big reflector and the tail switch. And it’s only about an ounce less weight. So, I’d go TS22 for more staying power, a bit less comfortable in pocket due to diameter, and better as an ‘emergency phone charger.’ Otherwise it’s this new FC12 for the dual switch and that sweet SOS light.
