[review] Wurkkos WK30 white/red/UV light

Is there a new coupon code available?

I can confirm that the battery that comes with Thrunite’s TC20 and Catapult V6 do fit and work in it even though the Thrunite batteries are protected and longer. The reverse worked too, the short Wurkkos marked battery worked in the TC20. ( after I figured out I was accidentally trying to put the wrong flashlights tailcap on.)

Oh. Unno. What about that 6somethingsomething code?

Nope … does not work.

Just sharing an observation here- I have the WK30 and I have a Convoy S2+ UV Nichia 365nm, and there is a very big difference between the two. My Convoy UV light is more aqua blue compared to the very purple WK30 and it lights up a lot more stuff than the WK30. For example, looking on the wall near a light switch, the Convoy shows a perfect hand print, most likely from one of my grandsons (no idea what he had on his hands) but the WK30 shows nothing.
I really like the WK30, but I’m planning to change the emitter to the Nichia LED used in the Convoy.

Did you have the WK30 on the high output when doing that comparison?

Low or high doesn’t change what you can see, it just makes it brighter :smiley:

Okay.

With your observations, maybe I won’t get a 2nd WK30 for my wife to use in our other house to find cat urine. Sounds like the Convoy S2+ is a better option.

I mostly find detergent residue with my WK30. Doesn’t even pick up drool on my bed pillow.

:question: So 30nm’s wave length difference between emitters makes quite the difference in what is revealed to the eye.

Yeh. Some things fluoresce under plain ol’ blue light. Others under violet. Others only under 395nm and shorter, then 385nm and shorter, and best is 365nm which’ll get most things including the red strip on US hunnerts.

…… call me absolutely SHOCKED when I turn the UV mode on in my bathroom, and kitchen! Do I need a cleaning service? :open_mouth:

Man, I know what you mean. I can’t believe what I see. Even after a good mopping. YiKeS…

“That’s not quite what I’d call… a clean sweep.”

Remember - many cleaner residues will fluoresce due to whiteners and other ingredients. Not anywhere near everything that’s glowing under 395nm is going to be a biological.

Just look at how anything white glows.

Just keep telling yourself that. I’m sure all will be ok!

Has anyone opened the head on one yet? Is the MCPCB one large one with the leds on it or multiple small ones? Is part of the driver on the MCPCB? Just wondering about modding, would like to put a Nichia UV in it for lower frequency.

No joy. Glued?

I received it a couple days ago, but haven’t had much time to use it.
I really like the white, it’s beautiful. I hope to get more lights with LH351D in the future. I had been wanting a light with both white and red, and now I have one. The red can get really bright. I would have preferred if the red had one lower level for four levels total, like the white, but the low is okay.
I like the size and the charging port cover seems to stay in place well. I didn’t notice the battery rattle until I tried to make it happen.
The UI works fairly well, but I find holding to change levels and a single click for off, like the SC31, more natural. I’m glad there is a shortcut to low.

Coupon Code … secret password … by one get one free … ?

Ooooh, that would be nice, but…
