[review] Wurkkos WK30 white/red/UV light

[Lightbringer]

@hodor

Nice review :+1:

This looks similar to a light Sofirn teased a while back. Are they affiliated?

Thanks!

I wouldn’t be surprised. 77 Outdoor is officially connected to Sofirn, and this is 365 Outdoor, so…

Being that the WK20/WK20S was/is essentially an SD02 diving light, and the WK30 is like exactly what was pictured on the “teased” light (see my “Surprise!” post there), I’d guess yes. :laughing:

Hmmm… Someone mentioned Coupon… off to look for another.

Just purchased one. Unique light and an excellent review.

Many thanks for the heads up.

I was having issues logging into Amazon, so I haven’t submitted the review there yet (in about 5min I’ll try again).

It’s actually a fun little light! I’ve been playing with it at night just for kix.

After seeing and laughing at those headlamps with like 6 white LEDs and another 10 red LEDs, that you’d look like one of those little hairy spiders that jump at you, I was almost turned off by the WK30, but I’m glad I bit. Really glad. As soon as I saw it and started playing with it, I ordered another one. Can’t be without one, y’know.

And frankly, I’m pretty amazed at the size. I’ll have to dig out my DV-S9 again, but I’d swear it’s significantly bigger than the WK30. The ’30 practically is enclosed in my fist except for, as I mentioned, about a half-inch total out the ends. It’s compact, too.

And with charging, yet. Thought for sure that’d add something to its volume, but man…

I’m seriously happy with it.

Yep … your opinion and review goes a long way with me. I am looking forward to this one and if this one comes up on Amazon again with a coupon I will surely snag a few for gifts. Truly a unique utility light with all the trimmings.

Thanks again …

Great review Lightbringer! Don’t know why they took the discount code away so soon?

And yes, that police strobe setting is bizarre, never seen one quite like that!

Thanks for review lightbringer, I just ordered one. I’m a sucker for multiemitter lights with different leds.

Thanks for “bringing” this light to my attention.

Very interesting. I usually don’t buy lights that I can’t EDC, but this might be a good house light - especially considering that we have 11 cats and 3 dogs in the house.

[Lightbringer]

Wellp, I noticed everyone’s disappointment at the disappearing coupon, so emailed Mark at Wurkkos to ask if it might be reinstated. Or maybe even one-time codes to BLFers who ask.

I also pointed him to both threads on the ’30, in case he’d want to join in.

Thanks, and no worries.

I’ve found that things that are “too nice” that I intend to gift out (like those go,comma flippers), I often just keep for myself anyway.

I gotta say, this recent spate of lights (SD02/WK20/WK20S, SD05, WK30) have knocked it out of the park. I literally haven’t been this jazzed about a light since I got my first Q8.

I’ve been flashlighted out for a while, but these dragged me back. :laughing:

Dunno, but I asked about it. Maybe if coupons won’t go to the genpop on Amazon, then maybe one-time-use codes for BLFers who ask. Mark (and Sue, and Tracy) have all been great and supportive, so I’m hopeful.

And that strobe, actually both the blinkies on red, are actually useful.

I can’t believe I actually said that, but it’s true.

No worries. I was looking for a fat (not necessarily tall) holster for it. If I find one, it might actually be EDCable.

And the UV light can spot pet-urine. :laughing:

[Lightbringer]

Ooh, I noticed something interesting. The tailcap has a ridge and recessed center piece, so would nicely fit a disc magnet if you wanted one.

I had PM’d MacLee earlier about the disappearance of the coupon code. Perhaps with the both of us bugging him he’ll bring it back

Hi, we will make a code for BLFs, sorry the coupon is expired

[Lightbringer]

Okay, all you BLFrogs, Mark came through with a special code: S99S-F2ENY3-FPHLAG, for 20% off!

Go crazy!

[1stein]

Thank you a lot. Unfortunately when try to use the code I get this message :

The promotional code you entered is for an offer that has not yet begun.

?? Bug? Or it might have something in common with location?

[Lightbringer]

Hmmm, I have no idea. Ordering from Amazon US?? Might be region-specific…

Thanks for the code. But, the message I just got is “! The promotional code you entered has expired.”

[Wurkkos]

Sorry about the issues of “coupon”, my colleague may did some mistake so it invalid , we just did another 20% code which will show in the Amazon page in 3 hours later.
