WurkkosTS23 Tactical Flashlight,5000 High Lumens Rechargeable Flashlight,70.3 HI LED 482M Attack Head LED Flashlights,IP68 Waterproof Flashlights for Emergency,Repair,Camping,Hiking

The Wurkkos TS23 flashlight is one of my favorite lights. I have many lights from various brands and I will say that Wurkkos makes a very solid, well designed line of lights. I have numerous Wurkkos models that are of the smaller size. The TS23 is one of the larger ones that I have, but it's probably my favorite because of its features. First, it's got an internal mechanism that protects the battery and helps to absorb heat and physical shock.. Second is the switch which is on the tailcap. I like it better than the usual side button type which can sometimes be difficult to find in the dark. It's got 6 output levels and on turbo, it's highest level, it's crazy bright. It's kind of between a spot and flood light as far as the beam goes. More toward a flood light, it lights up a large area. Personally I prefer my lights to be more of a spot light which is why I own a pair of TS11 compact flashlights. But this one makes up for the lack of a spot light with its sheer brightness. I got the 6000k version which is more of a whiter light because this is what I prefer. It's available in 5000k as well. The head is about 1.5 inches wide and it's about 5 &1/4 inches in length. Definitely small enough to carry in your pocket, but you probably won't want to carry a light of this size as an EDC light unless you carry it on your belt. I saw one review that said the tail cap is not removable.. Wrong.. The tail cap is kinda hard to unscrew, but it definitely does come off. However, because of the mechanism they have around the battery, which is a 21700 size, the battery is difficult to get out from the tail end. You can't just grab it, it's level with the end of the light body, and it won't fall out even holding it upside down and shaking it. It's a whole lot easier to just unscrew the body from the head if you want to remove the battery for whatever reason. You can charge it with the USB C cable that comes with the light. You can also charge your phone or whatever you have by using the light as a battery bank. As I mentioned, it's got 6 light output levels, and it has a very nice strobe that will definitely blind anyone in the dark if you use this light as a self defense light along side your EDC weapon! It also has SOS and an extremely bright beacon feature that is sure to cut through fog or rough weather. The TS23 is one light you'll want to have with you if you're in a situation that a good light will help you get through. The 21700 battery gives you a lot of usage time on a full charge. You shouldn't need to use this light on its brightest setting unless you need to light up a large area, and even then one of the mid levels should be sufficient, and using on the lower levels gives you hours of usage time.. The light is supposedly waterproof, and it's got 4 tiny titanium balls on the head which is supposed to help break car window glass. I'm not going to test it, and I'm not going to stick the light in a bucket of water to see if water gets I into it. I'll take Wurkkos word for it and hope they're right. But as you can tell by now, this is a great light to have whatever your situation. You can easily light up signs on the highway if you need to see them from a distance or in increment weather too. It's crazy bright for a little flashlight. A little pricey, but if you're going to spend a little bit more for a good light, this is the one to get! And the green one is pretty cool looking too!

The media could not be loaded. Super bright tactical flashlight. I'm impressed with the output and great combo of floor and throw in this flashlight. The build quality is great. It's a little too large to carry comfortably all day in the pocket but, it actually works well on the belt with the included clip. The UI is simple and has 2 different mode settings, outdoor and tactical. I prefer outdoor since it has more levels and you can still access strobe mode. I included a video vs a TS22 since the flood is not much less considering the distance advantage the TS23 has over it. Also a picture next to TS22 and FC11C to compare size. Overall I'm happy with the light and I think it's a great budget price for a qualify light.

The media could not be loaded. In a nutshell: upon arrival, the TS23 immediately became my brightest light, by a fair amount, and yet not the largest light I own.The beam tint appears to be in the 6000k+ range as advertised, so it's definitely on the "bright white" end of the spectrum, but without getting into the harsh blue spectrum. The beam pattern is focused on a very hot center spot, and as a result it throws pretty well. On higher brightness settings, however, there's still enough spill that you get a decent (but dimmer) flood pattern as well.Size-wise, it's definitely too large to be a pocketable light for, but even still, it's more comfy to carry and use than the extremely thick "coke can" style lights. It's the right size to keep in a backpack or glovebox, or on a shelf or in a drawer near the door, for when you need to see what just went bump in the night in your backyard.The UI is not as customizable as Anduril, but that also makes it a bit easier to understand if you aren't interested in memorizing a multi-layered menu system. The tail button is large and responds positively to inputs. The overall construction is very good, with clean threading and nice, large o-rings. I haven't tried dunking it, but the IP68 rating is nice insurance if I get caught out in the rain with it. On-board USB-C charging is convenient as always, as is the visual charge level indicator. My only quibble is that I tend to prefer a magnetic tailcap, but this light is just big and heavy enough that trying to mount it to metal surfaces may not be that feasible anyway.In my video I demonstrate the simple one-click ON/OFF cycle (which I believe goes to your last-used regular brightness level), then I cycle through the regular brightness levels by holding the tailcap down, then finally I demonstrate the turbo mode by double-clicking.Summary: I'm really pleased with this light and I think it's likely to become my new favorite for nighttime walks in the neighborhood, with the non-fumbly UI allowing me to walk with a dimmer setting and then blast straight to turbo mode if I need to announce my presence to passing vehicles. Very solid light all around with a great blend of brightness, manageable size, runtime, and build quality.
