Hello everyone,
Wurkkos is about to release another interesting EDC flashlight. It's called "FC11" and has some nice unique selling propositions that I would like to bring closer to you. For instance, it comes with a USB-C port for convenient and flexible recharging. Moreover, it uses the popular and powerful Samsung LH351D LED in neutralwhite tint (5.000K CCT) and 90CRI for high color rendition. For more versatility Wurkkos also implemented a magnetic tailcap as well as two mode groups (stepped modes and ramping).
Production is ongoing now and sales are expected to start by 11/11 sales with multiple options, i.e. purchasing with or w/o battery from AliExpress and Amazon.
Prices are not committed yet but it is expected to be below $ 30.00 with battery included.
