【ツ】Wurkkos TS30 + TS30S Sales Thread - available on wurkkos.com, Amazon & AliExpress

I'm interested in one red one.

Update:

TS30S and TS30R are delayed in order to put some priority on some other new flashlights being launched in the near future. I hope I can get some more news anytime soon. Thanks for being patient. Stay tuned...

Due to low interest / demand in TS30R and disproportionally high costs for SBT90-R, Wurkkos is looking for an alternative emitter. They have found an interesting LED at significantly lower costs which could be almost as powerful as SBT90-R but with a dominant wavelength of 614nm (amber, i.e. "orange" light color). Let's wait and see what their testing results will be.

Not too good for hunting though, needs to be closer to 660nm

I agree with you. But Luminus SBT90-R costs about $ 57.00 per each. That drives the sales price of TS30R into regions that only few customers will be willing to spend. After talking to some resellers Acebeam's K30GT or K75 using SBT90-R are so called shelf-warmers with veeeery few sold items so far. As much as I would have loved Wurkkos to build this light, there is a too high risk they will never meet break even in selling it. SBT90-R would be around 625nm dominant wavelengh which is what I call "standard red" but far from deep red.

The alternative LED they may take into consideration is called Osram Ostar Projection Power LE A P0MQ which can be driven up to 10A with an output of approx. 1,400 lumens. This is really close to SBT90-R but at a lower current. 614nm amber colored light will be nice to cut through fog as there's significantly less backscatter at this wavelength.

definitely interested in that TS30S :+1:
( without this dandelion engraver Bezel )

I don’t have an SBT90 light yet. Don’t like any of the currently available lights, but this one looks perfect. I hope it gets released soon.

Any news?

If I want to find someone to help me test my flashlight, which buddies should I look for? Need who live in USA

Production of TS30S is scheduled to start in about two weeks, as far as I am informed.

Interested

I’m interested in the TS30S with no strike bezel.

I’m interested in the TS30S with no strike bezel.

Update (2020-11-24):

Assembly of TS30S (with Luminus SBT90.2) will commence at the end of this week. IIRC, Wurkkos will probably be using the same Andúril revision number that Sofirn used in SC31 Pro (2020-03-18?). I will soon give an update about another new Wurkkos flashlight called TS30 (with Luminus SST-40 and the FC11 UI), to be launched even before TS30S.

Meanwhile, Mark gave me a brief look at the current status of TS30A today...

  • TS30A is currently in prototyping, the reflector geometry will soon be confirmed. So far, the TS30S head seems quite appropriate for Osram's LE A P0MQ even exceeding TS30S's throw numbers due to its smaller LED die size.
  • I cannot tell what driver the prototype uses but the final version of TS30A will be using a constant current driver. Not sure, if it's a buck driver converting the high battery voltage down to the low Vf of Osram's LE A P0MQ. The LED can be driven up to 8A of continuous peak current. Output is rated about 1.200 - 1.400lm at this current.
  • According to personal perception the so called amber tint (specified with 614nm wavelength) looks much more like red instead of orange or even yellow.

Below, some quick shots of the prototype incl. whitewall beamshots that Mark kindly shared with me to post them on BLF:

Update (2020-12-24)

Wurkkos has just released their new models TS30 and TS30S for sale on AliExpress, see updated OP with promotion discounts.

Stock will also be available soon at the Amazon FBA warehouse (USA). Sales on Amazon EU will start as of 2021.

TS30A is still in ongoing development.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Huh the TS30A looks interesting! I love my C01R for indoor use, but I’d love a good outdoor-use red light :smiley:

What kind of driver have?

AFAIK, FET direct drive.

With FET I’m out. Thank you for your efforts :+1:
