[review] Wurkkos WK30 white/red/UV light

Yep, I hear that, no need to pay that much…that’s @ $ 50 US … Hope you can catch one soon.

There seems to be a lot of love for this light so I would guess Sofirn is going to start ramping up the production on it pretty soon.

I was expecting a smaller light but am happy it was larger than expected. The specs in the ad are wrong. It’s @ 37mm at the head. 29mm at the tube and 33mm at the tail.
The length is 4 & 7/16 inches. (Can’t find my long caliper duhhh)

My orange ones were/are listed 5000mAH, and both clocked in at 5380 and 5376 or something really close.

Anyone know of a good holster for it?

My Jetbeam holster which fits tubelights just fine, will fairly easily stretch to fit, but was hoping for something a bit wider to begin with.

Just ordered some Convoy holsters (with the fancy stitching) that may be wider, dunno.

Parasitic drain measures 31uA and so not bad, so it will take 19 years to flatten the 5AH battery if the battery itself has no leakage.

I also purchased the 365nm SST-10-UV-A130-E365-00 from DigiKey but I can’t figure out how to get the thing opened to swap it out. Has anyone opened or x-rayed theirs?

It looks like the bezel screws off, the seam being between the switch and frying-bacon symbol.

Might be glued. I tried getting it off for a peek, but didn’t try very hard.

I used a heat gun to bring the front bezel ring up to about 60 Celsius but it still didn’t budge. If it’s expoxy then it may need go hotter, or maybe it pops of instead of unscrews but I’ve not been around any x-ray machines last little while so dunno.

Nice find Lightbringer! It’s a very handy utility light….

No worries. It’s part of my daily rotation now, too. :laughing:

Same here.

Boy, If they knurled this little guy…I’d have to get another one. They’re that neat

What about that grippy sandpaperlike stick-on stuff like for slippery steps? Someone was using that for grip (fiik what it’s called, though).

yeh, think they refer to it as “skate-board tape”……it works….but still…knurlin would be da bomb. :slight_smile:

Just goggled it on Amazon, yep, “grip tape”, fancy colors for skateboards.

A splash of red might look nice, though. :laughing:

hi, they are same cells inside, we just add a white cover on it as we did for other batteries before

It is a point, 365nm cost more, may upgrade in the future

@Lightbringer

awesome light, great find! thx for the review! I have to try to get it over here in Europe.

Like this light a lot. Thanks Lightbringer for reviewing it. Managed to open the bezel with 2 strap wrenches. No heat and just enough force. Seems regular glue was used so a little heat should help. I’m still debating whether to replace the main LED with 4000K 351D and the red to a 2200K 351B. I really don’t like red led but might need it someday.

I thought my desire for this light will pass as time passes by.
Unfortunatelly not.
I’m too weak to resist. Ordered. :person_facepalming:

But I don’t think I’ll use red light. I’ve read aswang has changed the red led to other. Hence my question: what instead? I mean which footprint (edit: figured 3535), voltage and amperage should I search for to replace this LED? I think I’ll go for some warm colors, 3000-4000K. Or 5000K but as a thrower, so without dome.

Any ideas which LED could succesfully replace the red one?

You could swap the red one by a Samsung LH351B 2.200K 80CRI oder LH351B 3.000K 90CRI if you like incandescent light.
