Wurkkos TS10 Review

Specs:

3x CSP 4000K
Red AUX LEDs (I think low AUX is perfect for night time)
Battery 900mah 14500 (Measured at 867mah at 1amp discharge rate)
1400 Lumens* (I measured slightly over 1,460 lumens at turn on, then quickly drops off and levels around 150 * 200 depending on thermals )
Double sided clip
Lanyard (Lanyard seems big for a flashlight this small, but its there if you want it!)
Anduril 2 UI (Lockout behaves slightly different than the chart would suggest)

First impressions:
This tiny little thing packs a huge punch! Its small, super light, and I can clip it to my pocket and not notice its there at all.

Build:

The TS10 is very nicely designed and machined. Plenty of oil on the threads.
Since this light has a tail eswitch, you remove the head from the body to get to the battery instead of removing the tailcap. I tried to remove the tail cap but I was not able to get a very good grip on it and I also suspect that it may be glued.
Tailswitch feels like it is made of plastic, (not necessarily bad) and requires deliberate force to press the button. I feel that the button won’t be accidentally pressed if it were loose in my pocket with other things. I’d still lock it out anyways. I also cannot remove the bezel for the same reasons.
The threads on my sample were nice and smooth and requires a small but noticeable amount of force to start threading due to the spring load on the battery.
The clip certainly could be deeper since the tailcap isn’t mean to unscrew and kind of overlaps the head threads slightly.
Also to use the included Lanyard you have to attach it to the clip instead of the flashlight since there are no lanyard holes on the light itself
The TS10 uses a TIR lens with CSP LEDs which I think are made by “LatticePower” (https://www.wurkkos.com/products/csp*leds*csp2323*3000k*4000k*5800k*cri9...)

Usage notes:

This is definitely more of a flooder. The only throw you get is from brute forcing it by using turbo for a very short time.
Turbo is very impressive (overwhelms the FC11 in comparison) but short lived ,probably the shortest of any light I have, due to the massive heat output for its tiny frame.
Unlocking from Lockout mode requires just 3 clicks instead of what the included chart says (old chart), because of that, I tended to blind myself because 4 clicks from lockout turns on the flashlight to the last remembered brightness level.
The lowest level “moonlight” is very very low (the lowest of any light I have) and I found it to be perfect for 3am bathroom runs, just enough to see where I am going without hurting my sleepy eyes.
Simple mode by default has the ramp ceiling maxed (same value as turbo) and Advanced mode has the ceiling set to 120. To me this is backwards, as Simple mode should have it capped at 120 and Advanced should be able to go above that, but that is not an issue with this light, just an Anduril thing. So I changed it myself, no biggie.
The thermal regulation works well. Since it heats up so fast I don’t think I will change it from the default 45C as I don’t want to accidentally fry it.
The sustained lumens is still pretty usable so the LEDs and driver seem to be moderately efficient, I wouldn’t expect anything better from a flashlight this tiny.

Battery:
As far as the battery, it is labeled “900mah” and from 4.20v I measured 867mah down to 2.5 on my hobby charger wiht a 1amp discharge rate which I think is pretty decent. There are better 14500s out there, but this is a good “midrange”. I have other Sanyo UR14500AC batteries (740mah) and those don’t have near the turbo output that the wurkkos battery does.

Brightness Perf:
I have a homemade “lumen box” that I use for relative measurements between my lights. That in combination with my old smart phone’s lux sensor, I can get “ok” measurements, although I wouldn’t consider it close to accurate, so take it as you will.

FC11: 1194 at turn on, 1134 at 30s
TS10: 2143 at turn on, 733 at 30s (levels out at 170 after 1min 20sec)
Imalent LD10: 854 at turn on, 571 at 30s

Verdict:
For the current price ($22.39 on Amazon last I checked: https://a.co/d/iV6PJ5g), I think this is a really good deal, especially considering it comes with an decent 14500 battery and Anduril 2 and even has AUX LEDs.

Pros:
