Review on Wurkkos Flashlight Rechargeable Magnetic Activities by Chris Elam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Vourkkos made it big with FC11! Great flashlight

A review of this new Wurkkos FC11 that I can't put down. Looks like I'll be the first to check it out so let's get started; First off, it's a beautiful off-white hue that this flashlight emits. There is simply nothing that can really compete with the Samsung LH351D emitter used. For me this is the perfect shade. Hue is a personal matter, but once you have over a hundred flashlights, over time you will learn to spot bad hue. No blues, greens, nasty yellows, etc. Just eye-friendly whites. It uses an orange peel reflector so instead of lighting up the barn down the road it creates a very nice stream. Has a good crown but goes very well with the current. The modes are easy to understand and by default it works in step mode. In this mode, High is about 75% of max, and a quick double-click puts you in Turbo mode. It turns off after 90 seconds to avoid overheating and draining the battery quickly. You can double-click again and go back to the next turbo launch if needed. Now she goes straight to 11 in ramp mode! There will be a quick blink at the top and bottom of the ramp to let you know you've reached that floor :) Also in linear mode the light turns on with one click and off with one click when in gradual mode To turn off, press and hold for one second. It will remember your last used setting when not in a flash. With the included 3000 mAh battery I measured 3.8 amps in turbo mode. With the high-end LG HE2 battery, I have 4.42 amps in turbo mode. This flashlight has a really useful minimum setting, they call it Eco. Either way, it's perfect for looking around your car or bedroom without drawing attention. You can flip the battery tube if you want the clip to face the other way, which is a great feature. In addition, the magnet in the back cover is very strong. I didn't have the light on long enough to charge the battery so I can't comment on that. What I do not like? First, the anodizing could have been thicker/harder. Alternative colors would also be a good option. Also, this flashlight really should be used with button batteries as the short flat tips will bounce and lose connection if pressed hard. Flat tops work in it, but be aware of the limitations. I also wish it came with an 18350 tube as it shortens it very nicely and makes it very compact. All in all a great flashlight at a price most people can afford. Try it, you might like it very much!
