Wurkkos FC12S (side switch version from FC12) what do you think?

Please make TS21 in purple too!

yes please !

When are flashlight manufactures going to understand that colors make all the difference. Don’t they remember when Apple sales skyrocketed when they offered computers in 5-6 different colors? People got tired of beige computers and likewise with black for flashlights.

The engineer in my likes black for heat radiation, but colors are so much more fun. I didn’t even wait for the coupon to order the purple.

When someone finally makes a blaze orange flashlight (aside from the couple streamlight disappointing offerings) I’m going to buy a lifetime supply.

Skip the camo - I lose enough stuff w/o making it invisible in the woods…

Ordered the FC12 with battery. The battery was $2.5 extra so that seemed to be a good deal

Thanks Wurkkos, I have just used the discount code to order two Purple FC12 flashlights with battery. I guess one of my daughters would love to have one; so I have ordered two.

Very glad to get such a good deal for such a new and interesting flashlight.

Prices on Wurkkos.Com are usually better than on Amazon, Banggood, and Ali Express, especially when there is an additional discount code for use on top of the normal discount of $5 for every $60 of purchase, and $10 for $100 of purchase.

definitey a good deal, especially since Wurkkos batteries have a solid reputation (think, Sofirn).

and I 100% agree with you about colors- my collection has a lot of color and honestly it is one of the top considerations for me when making a purchase decision (after emitter and function). Afterall these lights are almost as much eye candy as they are function. I understand manufacturers making black, but at least 1-3 colors should always be considered. Your example of Apple is 100% a great example. Love them or hate them, Apple knows how to sell widgets. If they do it, and it's not a flop, then any company could take a lesson from it. I think some new phones are in colors too, and selling fast.

and I agree about camo... like I would LOVE to see sales figures for camo cooored lights. They have to be under 10% of total sales. I am in business and have been for 10+ years and always a part of my brain goes to percentage of sales/stock issues/manufacturing process/ and what obstacles these smaller companies must face when making new lights and colored bodies/ etc. The "buy in" for them to change something can be substantial (say there is a minimum order of 500 or 1000 units for them for a certain anodization color from their anodization vendor, or it takes that many pieces for the break even in the cost to do it to make sense). There are so many factors they must consider so that they are still remaining profitable. All of that to say - you can't tell me CAMO is going to be a better bet on their investment than say blue, red, or green (all very popular colors).

look at astrolux- one of the best things they do well is every release has at least two colors. Convoy is starting to do that too.. with the M21c line and c8 line. Olight is also fantastic at this.

anyway sorry for the rambling, but you bring up a great point. People will buy colored bodies flashlights. It's not a risk for these manufacturers.

I’m really tempted by that orange convoy. But when I say blaze orange, I mean, hunter bright blaze orange. Probably can’t be done w/ anodizing. Fenix came really close w/ orange cerakote but they gave it some worn look treatment or I’d have to buy it, even at $200.

Someone here was making blaze orange powder-coat lights, I think S2+es.

Some people were pissing’n’moaning about thermal characteristics, blah blah blah, so dunno if he made enough to go around.

This would be cool with an 18350 tube too, I wonder if they offer themt? I’m off to buy a purple one, looks like a refined slick sexy sp31-pro.

I found it not working either until I changed the second last digit from a letter O to a number 0 (zero). Then it worked. I’m off to check the specs now….after already buying the lightbulba :person_facepalming:

What colour temperature is the LED?

Strobe not memorised - meh! Anyone who actually needs a strobe (light painters and tacticool people) need instant access.

I would also welcome the FC11 in that purple, or the other colors of the pictured prototypes.

hi, the extra 10% code work for subscribers

the new SFT40 LED now only 6000-6500k in the market

good idea, will try samples :crown:

TS21 will with gun metal and Champagne color

Beautiful design, especially the purple one is nice.

Is the driver regulated (other than ATR)?
