Wurkkos TS26S Rechargeable Flashlight,3100 High Lumens LED Flashlight 95CRI,Magnetic Tail Cap,191 Meters 5000K Boost Constant Current,IP68 Waterproof for Dog Walking,Camping,Emergency

This thing is hilarious. There’s no reason a light should be this bright in such a small build. The turbo mode is extremely bright and goes a far distance. However, the turbo mode only lasts for 2 minutes or so. Even then, the high mode is super bright and lasts around 2 hours. I don’t know too much about modern rechargeable flashlights, but I own a few that are inexpensive (under $20) and you get what you pay for. The feel in the hand is pretty good, just wish the clip could be removed instead of rearranged. This can also act as a dim nightlight on eco mode and lasts for days.

The TS26S is the latest Wurkkos flashlight to use both high CRI emitters and high efficiency driver electronics. It's an example of Wurkkos stepping up their game and listening to customers, which I appreciate very much. It's a versatile light. It's capable of both very high output and very low output and holding down the switch while the light is on will change modes. There are also blinky strobe/SOS/beacon modes, though I don't use those. The flat tailcap is magnetic, so for example if you're working on your car, the light can be stuck to the hood. A pocket clip already attached though for me it's just a little too big to carry all the time in my front pants pocket. It's still compact for a light of it's power. Charging the light is easy with the USB-C charging port and the switch has an indicator that turns red when the light is on and low on battery. The light can even act as a powerbank. The battery capacity is 5000mah, which is large for a compact flashlight though not very large for a powerbank. The Nichia 519A LEDs are known for their high CRI (color rendering index). If you compare this light side by side with a low CRI light, the difference will be clear. Under the TS26S, colors will look more vibrant, especially reds and browns. For tasks around the house, this helps the most when I'm looking at wiring or searching for something small on the ground. The four emitters are behind a TIR (total internal reflection) optic and provide a smooth, flood-type beam. While Wurkkos says the light can reach up to 191 meters, at that distance the light will be pretty dim. That's consistent with how all flashlight manufacturers rate their lights. For me, the TS26S is useful up to about 100 meters. If you need for a longer range light, I would look at the Wurkkos TD05 or TD01C. The TS26S uses a "boost driver" to increase the voltage from the battery to the voltage required by the quad-emitter array. Boost drivers cost more but in my opinion it's worth it. This more efficient than some other designs and the output is held at a steady brightness, the exception being turbo mode which must step down to avoid overheating. For me the high mode (just under turbo) lasts for about 2.5hrs until it begins to drop as the battery runs low. The fit and finish is good. The anodizing is even and the threads of the tailcap turn smoothly. Mine has no defects in the machining. In terms of value, I feel the TS26S is fairly priced considering the overall build quality and features. You can pay less for a quad-emitter light but you will likely have to give up integrated charging or power efficiency. So I would recommend this flashlight to anyone looking for relatively compact, versatile flashlight for distances up to about 100 meters.

For how small and still pocketable this flashlight is, it gets very bright, and while it does heat up quickly it still is usable for a while even on turbo. It feels (I have no measuring tools so this is all based on how it feels to me) as high CRI as it claims to be, as well. Built solidly, decently long lasting battery if you don't run it at absolute maximum all the time, and the clip is useful, most flashlight clips just annoy me but this one has been good so far. Great purchase, especially for the price.

I’ll start off with I’m a regular person who seems to be drawn to nice flashlights, I’m not a techie flashlight guru. This is a nice little light. I use it for walking the dogs and camping and really enjoy having a well made flashlight. It is easy to increase the brightness when needed, to the point where I can see approaching wildlife deer, coyote, skunks, etc. it’s also great as I can quickly engage turbo mode when a car is approaching while I’m walking the dogs. There is no doubt they see us 😁. This light has a broad wide light beam, and it is maybe 2/3 the size of the cheap small Duracell lights you see at Costco while being much much brighter. It easily fits in my jean pockets (6ft tall male). The light is noticeably warmer (less white(ish), slight yellow tint) than most other flashlights I’ve used. It seems like a more “natural” light color. I’m not going to drop this thing on a hard road or concrete just to test. If feels robust and well made and I think it will be fine as I also have the wurkoss TD01C, and have dropped that many times - it works great. The TD01C is the polar opposite of this light, the TD01C is a very narrow beam, but great at seeming 200+ yards away. I love the battery is powerful and lasts a long time before being charged, and most important of all is rechargeable with usb-c. The instructions indicate that in a pinch you could use this flashlight to charge another device (phone?). That’s nice if I was desperate or maybe stranded somewhere. Not really why I bought it, but kind of a cool bonus option. I will post again if things change, but so far I’m happy and glad I bought this flashlight.

A refreshingly simple to use light that appeals to enthusiasts and everyone else! The ts26s gives me a great floody beam that makes colors pop. Excellent performance and build quality for the price. I would highly recommend this light for home use. The supplied wurkkos branded battery is also something to talk about. I own several of their 21700 cells and they have never let me down!
