Wurkkos FC11 Rechargeable LED Flashlights Max 1300Lumen High 90CRI EDC Flash Light USB C Charge,IP67 Waterproof Torch, Magnetic Tailcap, Great for Dog Walking Home use Emergency(Green-4000K)

Short Version: Can do everything well, short of lighting up the entirety of a large backyard or field. Great build quality and battery life. This is a great core flashlight to have even if you go with cheaper options for your other uses. The fact that you get a light that'll last for years, a good battery, and built-in charging makes this an amazing deal.Full review: r/Flashlight brought me here and I'm glad it did. I don't use flashlights in as many different ways as other people, but I do use it several nights a week for evening walks. Some parts of my walk are less lit by streetlights and one part has no lighting whatsoever, to the point where if there's no moonlight you can't really see the ground. I was previously using a GearLight S1000 and thought it was ok, but I needed something better. I honestly never thought a $30 flashlight would be worth it and thought the people recommending it were just being overly fanatic about it, but I honestly love this light. I've had poor vision my whole life and this is great relief to my eyes when I have to use it.It has great throw in the middle and good spill around it to make for a decent area of effect. My GearLight gave me about 40-50 yards of visibility in the pitch black part of my walk on the highest setting. This lets me clearly identify a bench 100+ yards away in the pitch black. If there's any light around at all, you don't need anything above the middle settings. The light is also warm and not as harsh, so it illuminates well without washing it out.Recharging is easy and the battery life seems great. I've used it about 3 hours total on middle settings and I haven't experienced a drop in performance. I haven't charged it other than the initial charge when I got it, but it's my first flashlight with built-in charger and I love it. The UI is simple to use. I wanted something that had a shortcut for a strobe, which this has. It comes with a very sturdy clip that has great retention for what it is. The magnetic tail cap is strong enough for you to not worry about the flashlight falling off whatever it's attached to without effort.My only real gripe won't matter to most people. The highest setting can only be maintained for 90 seconds and then it'll turn itself down to prevent overheating. It's obviously understandable and I believe the light is operating at the best you could hope for in this size. Because of that, I'll probably end up getting a good thrower flashlight later on, but this light inspired me to go for quality with that too.Overall, this is an amazing light and definitely worth the money. That's coming from someone who previously thought a $30 flashlight would be a scam. If you only use flashlights inside in dimly lit areas, you may not necessarily see the benefits of this light. But if you ever need to use it outside or in very dark areas, then you need this light and won't be disappointed.

First off this is not a thrower light. It does get some distance but it’s really more of a balance of flood and spot. It’s bright and I feel the lumen rating is not overstated at all. On turbo yes it gets hot and it’s pretty fast too do so. I’d expect that from a light this size and it’s not a bad thing. There just isn’t enough heatsink available to stop that from happening. Again this light is very small so that is just normal. I use this as an inspection light at work and it’s got good color rendering. I like that it uses 18650 cells with no funky top or bottom. So I can swap out cells without waiting for it charge. It’s tough and feels good to hold. The magnet is very strong btw. Another perk.

I heard about the new FC11, and was intrigued, and after hearing people going on about it, ordered one for myself. :DI've always liked Wurkkos and Sofirn lights (which share quite a bit of genetic material), so it's no surprise I like the FC11 as well. It's both different and similar, which seems contradictory, but it's not. The head is almost identical to the SC31B, yet the body-tube is unique, not smooth nor knurled, but ribbed, which is a new feature. The tailcap is magnetic as well, letting it stick to metal surfaces. (Beware of carrying any light with a magnetic anything, as it can come dangerously close to credit cards and such, and erase them.) So this can be a perfect around-the-house light, or tool-bag light as well.In the typische orange-and-white Wurkkos box is the light, printed manual sheet, baggie with lanyard and extra O-rings, and USB-C charging cable.First impression is that quality is excellent. Perfect anodisation, no nicks or spots, a nice smooth semi-gloss black ano. Except for a blue ring around the side-switch that provides a nice splash of color, everything on the light is black, including the pocket clip. While it's not a deep-carry clip, it's not the usual chrome clip that looks like an afterthought on so many lights.The light itself has a nice bit of heft to it. Everything feels quite solid, nothing cheap or chintzy anywhere. One especially nice touch is that the light uses a LH351D LED, which is a fan-favorite among light enthusiasts for its great tint, color, and rendition. No surprises here, as it throws a great beam, especially in the orange-peel reflector. No rings, very little tint-shift, just a bit of a corona around the hotspot.The user-interface (UI) is quite good. There are two main modes of operation, stepped and ramping.Stepped, which is set by default, is simple to use. Click on, click to cycle through 5 modes from "eco" (moonlight) to low, medium, high, and turbo. Click and hold to turn off. I know, I know, a lot of people want just click-on and click-off, but I've always been used to a long-click to turn off, so it feels quite natural to me, and I don't mind at all.Ramping works as expected as well. Click on, click/hold to ramp up, another click/hold to ramp down, click off. That should make the click-off crowd happy. :DFrom off in either mode, click-and-hold for at least 3 seconds to switch between ramping and stepped. The light will blink quickly a few times, then stay on in the new mode.From on or off, again in either mode, a double-click instantly gets you to turbo, nominally 1300 lumens. One more click gets you to the previous mode (lit or off).Nb: this a FET-based driver, so is *not* regulated, but proportional. Brightness will depend on the cell's voltage, and the quality of the cell. So yes, as the battery depletes and the voltage decreases, brightness will gradually decrease as well. The included cell is quite good, so you'll get good brightness out of the light.Speaking of decreasing brightness, turbo is indeed turbo, meant for short bursts of bright light, and will start ramping down after a minute or so to something more sustainable. You can re-double-click to get back into turbo, but then it's on you to watch the light's temperature. The timed step-down is rather conservative, maybe too much so, to keep The Muggle from burning himself. :DThe switch is backlit to reflect the cell's voltage. Green good, red bad (recharge). Done.Recharging is done via a covered USB-C port. Blinking red means charging, green means it's done.I'd still want a deep-carry clip to be able to pocket-carry the light and not have half of it sticking out, but I typically immediately remove clips anyway, so that's not an issue to me, but it would keep me from carrying it daily. It still makes a good bag-light regardless.All in all, everything works as expected. Quality is also the expected level from Wurkkos and Sofirn, no glitches or hangups along the way. I'm digging the new ribbed design, too. :D

FC-11 of the best beginner enthusiast flashlights out there. The LHD351 emitter is very color accurate in all versions and has a floody beam. The turbo mode doesn't last long and heats up, as expected. Battery life and UI are excellent. Unfortunately even when discounted, it is still a bit overpriced in India (probably due to import taxes).
