[review] Wurkkos WK20 diving light [and for the WK20S as well]

I see there’s two options on lumens: 1,000 and 2,000. Did you get both?

Ummm, nope? I got the WW 1000lm version.

Think the new one’s 2000lm and NW/CW. Not sure if it’s out yet.

They are showing two purchase options, the 1000lm for $29.95 and 2000lm for $39.95.

EDIT: Because some interest was expressed to the seller, they’ve decided the WK20S is worth more so they bumped it up by $10 more (now $49.95). I hope it’s clear to them that this is an unrealistic price. Don’t buy it.

Yeah, I heard back that the new version is up for sale, 5300K!

Definitely not Angry Blue™!

Did you communicate directly with the seller dingnuo? The 1000lm version lists 3000k, but when selecting 2000lm there is no temperature listed. Is it 5300k?

Yep

I thought it said so… somewhere. Can’t recall where.

Good tint for a dive torch

Anyone have the 2000lm version yet? That in 5300K sounds pretty awesome. :laughing:

Ummm, in all the rush, I don’t think I included a link to the light itself on Amazon:

So now ya have it! :laughing:

:+1:

I feel like I just BINGO’d! Looking today for just such a light… between 3000 and 4000 kelvin, side switch, decent output. Order placed!

Yeh, you’re gonna love it. Nice and solid, seems bulletproof. And that WW light is reeeeeeeeally nice!

I was able to get both for review. Nice lights. I like the WK20 better just because of the tint. I’m going to order a 3000K XHP35-HD ftom arrow.com to put in the WK20S. But if you like the 5300K the WK20s is a good light also. It is sugnificantly brighter in the same size package.

That flashlight looks almost exactly like the Sofirn SD02A (uses XPL-HD 3000K tint)…

Any chance of a runtime test for this one?

Sofirn has an XHP35 version as well, with a different body design that isn’t dive level submersible. LINK. A good bit cheaper at $24.

Btw, it seems interest in that Wurkkos WK20S model caused price to spike from $39.95 to $49.95.

This is an interesting diving light: 10W-XM-L2-Diving-Flashlight. Very prominent carry-handle. It’s XM-L2, putting out 960lm, but has a proprietary battery pack serving 5400mAh with water tight charging port. LED indicator for battery level.

Yeh, I mentioned that up-top. Seems to be all-in-the-family. :laughing:

The Wurkkos arrived in today’s mail. It looks and feels good. The switch action feels really interesting. The beam certainly is more warm, sort of orange-yellow, than my yellowy Eagtac GX25A3 (3700K). But actually not quite as warm as the Adventure Sport Super Bulb XM-L2 S6 dropin in my 4D Maglite, even though the latter is supposed to be 3000K also. I look forward to seeing it at night.

First thing I noticed, though, was that the tailcap ridges aren’t pronounced enough to satisfy me; the light could still roll off a flat surface if bumped. Happily a Streamlight 75701 anti-roll ring fits and is now adorning the business end like a king’s crown.

The Streamlight Siege I’d been waiting for came in the same mail batch today, too. This is shaping up to be a great weekend! :partying_face:

Hey! The 2000lm NW ’20S is on sale for 34bux, and the 1000lm WW ’20 is reduced to 26bux.

I like the brightness of the ’20S, but the WW goodness of the ’20 can’t be beat.

And I added a write-up for the WK20S in the OP as well. See above.

Wanted to get some comparative beamshots (’20/’20S) against some trees but the neighbor’s got his spotlights on all night for the past two weeks, muddying up everything.

I’ve found that my muscle memory expects a light to turn off with a brief click, but since this light only advances the output mode by that means (off is via long press), it’s mildly irritating. Otherwise I like it. It tailstands more steadily than I thought it would just from looking at it.
