Wurkkos FC11C Led Flashlight Rechargeable High Lumen 1200, Small Powerful Flashlight USB C, Super Bright EDC Flashlight IP68 Waterproof, 155Meters Beam Distance, 90 High CRI (5000K)

This is a great flashlight, and inexpensive. I carry it in my pocket every day. Fits great in the pocket or hand. Feels like solid manufacturing. Uses the ubiquitous 18650 battery. Adjustable from very dim to very bright. Good magnet on the tailcap.The only downside is I would prefer a dual clip so it can be clipped up or down—down for my pocket, up/forward to clip it on a hat as a headlamp. Easily remedied: I bought a replacement clip on the Wurkkos website for $1. SKU: “Pocket clip-FC12-BK” A little tight fit but it’s solid once I got it on there.

The Wurkkos FC11 is a ~1300 lumen 18650-battery powered rechargeable flashlight. As you can see in the picture, it comes with light, 18650 battery, USB charging cord and lanyard. As is typical for EDC lights, a clipis also installed on the light.The FC11 produces a long lasting and beautifully tinted beam. The joy in the FC11 comes not onlyfrom the 90-second 1300 lumen output it can produce, but from the sustained 4000k warm light it produces from the LH351D LED... No frozen white or green/blue hues here! As I tested, the FC11 charges the included battery to 4.18V, and discharges to 2.75V. That means it safe for both protected and unprotected 18650 batteries. Technically, the FC11 is a marvelous little rechargeable light. But what really separates it from the thousands of cheap lights on Amazon is the quality of the light! IMHO, the 4000k LH351D might be the best tint LED ever produced. There are absolutely no green or yellow hues in my FC11.The Nitty Gritty: When the FC11 arrived, I went about testing the battery, light beam, size/weight, UI and charging features of the flashlight.The battery came charged to 3.91V. As seen the the summary above, I measured both the maximumcharge level and low voltage discharge cutoff, and both are great. They should keep the battery safe and ensure along life. I put the supplied 3000maH Wurkkos battery through my Opus BT-C3100 analyzer. It indicated true capacity at 2932mAH.... perfectly acceptable. The FC11 has a USB-C connector and supplies a cable. The side switch flashes red while charging, and turns green (and then shuts down) when fully charged. When the FC11 is nearly fully discharged, the output will dim and the switch light will turn red... I did not notice its passthrough orange so it must have been brief!The FC11 without battery came in at 65g. That is 10g lighter than my C2+! In physical dimensions, theyare nearly identical. It comes with a magnetic tail cap, and will allow the FC11 to be stuck to anything iron.The FC11 User Interface (UI) is a simple. It has two ramping modes (stepped or smooth), and it's easy to switchbetween them. A long press from off comes up in lowest/moon mode. A double click from off comes up in maximum output mode. A single click comes up in one of the ramped modes, a the level that the light was clicked off. When on, holding the side switch ramps through the light levels (low->high over and over). I like it because it has immediate access to low and high light levels from off, and you can ramp to any level you want. The stepped ramp has 5 levels including turbo. At any time, on or off, a double click gets you maximum output power (turbo).Let me end with a word about light levels and temperature. The FC11 is a small light. NO small flashlight can maintain 1300 lumen output without getting very very hot,so the FC11 has a 90 second stepdown from turbo to its next highest light level at 700 lumens. At the 300 lumen level, I measured temperature on the light at 102F. If you want a light that can maintain more than a thousand lumens for hours, it will need a head (with cooling fins) the size of a baseball. With those expectations, the light does great at extended runs of 300 and 700 lumens. It will get warm, but no so hot that it burns.

What's not to like? I got one for my mother-in-law because I like her.The controls are blessedly straight-forward. The magnetic base works well. The light pattern is very even and the color rendering is as promised. It is my new favorite flashlight.I really like it, especially for the price (under 25 around black friday). I returned a WK03, which was cheaper but the light had a green tinge, it's beam was a bit uneven, it had a distinct center beam (I wanted one that smoothly transitioned), it didn't have a magnet. The only thing I preferred on it was the knurling, I don't care for the smoother grip of this one.I really like the 'should be standard on all flashlights but the dumbest' press-and-hold for moonlight mode. A great way to not wake up your spouse (or a baby) at night.Other comments (not dings) are:The difference between high and turbo is minimal.The green color is a little dark (I prefer flashlights I can find easier if they drop to the ground).It will charge with USB-C to USB-C (some devices don't, for some reason).The first one I got (with a 4000K LED) was confused and didn't want to charge until I fiddled with it.The 5000K is way better for good quality light than the 4000K. The high CRI is noticable next to lower CRI flashlights.I wish it had crenulations so when I put it down face down, some light would escape making it is easier to find.There are so many variants (check outside of Amazon too) it is confusing. Mine is rated at 1200lm, hers at 1300 but they seem the same.I wish it didn't have a strobe. Strobe is nigh useless.I tried switching to the smooth brightness ramp, it worked, but I prefer the low-medium-high. The smooth does double-blink at the brightest, so that's good.Place the clip so you can find the power button easily in the dark, otherwise half the time you'll press the charging cover.I can't imagine the charging cover will last the life of the flashlight.The way the lanyard attaches it doesn't make the flashlight rock on its base.As I understand, it'll use unprotected 18650s, which is nice since I have 4 I've recovered. That said, the battery that comes with it seems pretty good.

This light is small but really bright. It doesn’t take up much space and works exactly as expected. The high CRI 5000K LED gives off a natural, comfortable light that's easy on the eyes. It has a solid, well-made build, and I love the magnetic base. I already have a Wurkkos headlamp that's great, and this flashlight lives up to the same quality. I'll definitely continue buying their products. Good quality and worth the money.

Pretty good, haven't used it long. so I can't say (for now) about the long-term usage. It's relatively bright outside at night, easy to use, and pretty light. The charging function, though is on the middle of the side, which isn't all that great, and it has a rubber cover over the charging port, so I'm not sure whether it will break off one day. I'm also a bit miffed that, as the instructions say, to clean the battery area and apply lubricant every six months.

Bright and holds a charge well.

Great first flashlight!Perfect for throwing in my back pocket, small and light enough that I don't notice it, but incredibly bright and useful! Good throw for the size and good spill as well. One day I might de-dome it, but it's not super "cool" as it is. Not exactly sure, but it may be close to 5000k, so it is easy on the eyes for extended use.
