Thanks for confirming that the 5000mAh 21700 battery included is a Lishen LR2170SD.
I notice that there is a purple-pink wrap slightly visible underneath the Wurkkos rewrap. And it looks like the LR2170SD has a purple-pink wrap based on images on the web.
However, if the max discharge current is 2C or 10Amps, then this doesn’t seem to be the “right” battery for the Wurkkos TS30S, which uses SBT90.2 LED, and isn’t this LED supposed to consume more than 15 or 20+ Amps to get max brightness? Using a “10 Amp” rating cell would then sort of limit the max performance of the TS30S…
No, a 30T will give max, but go for a 40T since it’s also got decent capacity. You’re only gaining approx 150-200 lumens using a 30T which isn’t enough to justify the loss of 1000mAh
I will buying the t30s in the next day or two via your amazon US link, so thank you do that!
But, because I’m so excited for it and can’t wait, could you maybe take a pic or two with T30s next to some other popular lights? A C8, ft03, ec03, anything like that?
Here’s another comparison:
FT03S - TS30S - XT45 - X9L
XT45 is very close to a C8 in size (almost same head diameter or just a wee bit bigger than C8’s head, but with a 21700 body — similar to Sofirn C8G / Convoy M21A body)
Thank you lux and d-t-a! Those comparison are perfect as I have the M21a, x9L, and ft03. I appreciate it very much. I also was comparing it to the measurements of the M21a and thought that’s probably the closest size head and length.
The item description on the TS30 indicates it includes Wurkkos 4800mAh 21700, whereas the TS30S includes Wurkkos 5000mAh 21700.
My guess is the 4800mAh 21700 would be the same battery bundled with the Wurkkos HD20 (which includes 4800mAh 21700) — if this is the case, then the Wurkkos 5000mAh 21700 and the Wurkkos 4800mAh 21700 look like different batteries. (I have HD20 and TS30S)
I wonder who is the OEM manufacturer of the Wurkkos 4800mAh 21700 battery though, maybe Lux-Perpetua can help us find out?
My TS30 just arrived, here’s what I got. Don’t have a decent charger/analyser atm so can’t test it.
Edit: just been out for a play and am very impressed. Solid build quality, good weight balance/feel, fast USB-C charging. The tint is lovely and rosy, very bright and pretty good throw too.
Would be great if we could get a new code for TS30 Amazon US, previous code no longer works. Especially with a nice rosy 5000k tint, I’ll need to pick one up!
The 5000K is very nice, clean beam with no / very minimal tint shift and is by far the rosiest LED I have. I hope Wurkkos / Sofirn sell the emitters individually on their store. My previous rosiest was an unknown 219B from an Astrolux A01 back in the day (I suspect it might be a K as it’s much rosier than any other 219B that I own). I’m generally not a fan of overly rosy tints but really like this SST40.
Great to hear you like the light. I’m really on the fence about this light because of my experience with the EC03 with sst40. The deep reflectors created some significant rings in the beam, even outside.
Does the Ts30 with sst40 do this? Rings around beam?
I really like the sst40 5000k tint as well, it’s a really nice neutral. Another quick questions-
Do you notice the tint turns blue when on turbo? I have a different light and that has been happening recently so just curious if it is common.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the light !
