Review on Wurkkos Flashlight Rechargeable Magnetic Activities by Clint Mcloven

Revainrating 4 out of 5

HUGE bang for your buck!

I've been carrying this flashlight for about ten days now. I work as a foreman in a machine shop and use the flashlight dozens of times per shift. This lantern is a great size for the amount of light it gives off. I can't say anything about the operating time because I charge every other day and haven't discharged yet. The beam can illuminate an animal enough to identify it at a distance of 100 meters. I could see our blonde draft horse in the pasture from 300 yards away, but very faintly. The beam is between the beam and the spot but is ideal for indoor and close-up outdoor use. It's not a launcher! The head gets quite hot when using the turbo for more than a minute, but that's not too bad. Operating at the two lowest settings does not result in any noticeable heat build-up. I use the ramp setting now and highly recommend it. The anodizing is not as good as on my Olights. In the places where the pocket knife rubs, it is already worn out (rat 2 D2). My olights (m1t raider and i3t eos) took more abuse before being worn out by anodizing. The charging port cover fits snugly and doesn't pop out in your pocket. I would be willing to pay an extra $1-2 for an extra suitcase. However, they included two spare O-rings. The magnetic back has exactly what you need. It is easy to remove it from a steel beam/table/door/etc. to remove, but it is strong enough to position it anywhere as long as it stays out. On my Olight M1T Raider I replaced the simple pocket clip with the reversible clip. It's a tight fit, but now I can clip the FC11 to my hat visor and have a hands-free headlamp when I need it. Verdict: Great value for money, good solid performance for the average person, simple user interface (ramp option), good battery included, feels good in the hand, great magnetic lid. Try it for $30. I bet you will love it!
