[review] Wurkkos WK30 white/red/UV light

Yep, here

oh, we will test it again , the sample in my hand white LED not shows when in red light mode.

[quote=MacLee]

It doesn’t always occur, but doing it a few times will trigger the white LED also lighting up with the Red LED (on High).

The trigger is: while the flashlight is in the “alternating Red + White strobe modes”, do a double-click while it is flashing white LED. This will go back to regular Red mode, but cycling the Red to High will also light up the White LED.

Mentioned above is “resistance leak”, just wondering is this easily fixable?

Got my WK30 today. Impressive little light, didn't know red had three levels and that it would throw so far and bright. Any idea what brand of battery is behind the wrapper?

No idea, but it seems pretty decent. My “5000mAH” cells (both) clocked in at 5380mAH or thereabouts on my Opus, which is pretty awesome. The light’s not all that high-strung, so you won’t be needing a 30A cell or anything, so it should do just fine.

Hey, I’m still tickled about ’em. :laughing:

Okay, I finally got these. Not bad at all. They’re crapping velcro and elastic all over the place, so they’re really adjustable, even the length of the flap! “Universal” is right. The only drawback is sheer bulk.

Lens-down, the bottom “cup” is a bit too tapered, so the light won’t slide down all the way, but lens-up, it bottoms out nicely. Like I said, even the flap-length is adjustable, just wedge your finger in the hole to separate the velcro, then slide the flap longer/shorter as you’d want it, then squeeze it together again. No belt-loop, but 2 velcro(!!) molle-type straps so you can attach it to a bag or whatnot. There’s also a hangy-loop up-top for maybe a D-ring or carabiner if you want, too.

And the ’30 fits into it (lens-up) with the switch and usb port almost perfectly above the edge of the material, as if made for it. Not bad at all.

I think I’ll still keep my SP32A on my bag, as it’s lower-profile and not nearly as bulky, but damn, if I wanted to, now I can hang my ’30 on it, too or instead.

And it’s got that Wiseau thing going on, too. Gotta love it…

Hey, for <4bux a pop, go for it.

5380mAH seems not bad at all. I have to say this is one of those fun lights that I would never think of selling.

I just now ordered one. I’m hoping it’s all you guys say it is. :smiley:

Pffft. This is one of those lights where you buy a few spares so that you never have to do without no matter what. :laughing:

I think it’s safe to say you’ll be tickled with this light.

^ I'm going to ask Wurkos if they would consider making the same light as well in two more versions, one with a deep emerald green and another with a royal blue instead of red. I'd like to collect these. Was a little disappointed when I first turned on the red light until I figured out it has a L-M-H on it and then was blown away at how strong it was. This little light is a real winner. Also really like that the button turns from green to blue to let you know you have the uv light on, that was a nice touch.

Umm, you do know that UV has low and high brightnesses, too, right?

Yes, noticed that with the uv right away.

I’m hoping for a knurled version of this light as was alluded to earlier. Fingers crossed but not holding breath. :smiley:

Damn you…I’ve been trying to save money…

I discovered my light has the solid red and white 'mode' too. I say mode because it's kind of like having additional modes. I can then single click back to low red, medium red and then red and white (and that equals more light). We're always wanting more light, right? Lol!

I tried a few times to get into Bug Mode, and no joy.

Is that repeatable with youse, or just may-or-may-not happen?

(Or just think of it as white with a nice high R9 value…)

It's repeatable. I might've found another 'mode'. I clicked 4 times and it went into a slow blinker but I couldn't get out until I unscrewed the tail cap. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to do it again. I gave the light to family visiting from out of town. Doubt I'll see it again. Once I showed them what it does, they loved it. Maybe it'll come up on sale again.

I’ve gotten into the steady red/white mode, the flashy alternating mode, and some other weird mode I don’t remember now. I should start paying more attention to button-clicks. :beer:

Damn, I feel almost left out. :smiley:
