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

My little lady approves of the FC12. Color is nice (but she would prefer an even hotter color).

Gets hot faster than the soonfire mx70, but better performance, in general, before that.

Soonfire mx70

Impressive given the small diameter of fc12, looks like more spill and more throw.
Edit, just noticed the bat in fc12 shot

Went to buy another but price is pretty high now. Maybe we will get a coupon?

So.. after having it a day or two.. it's a little big (a lot big) and am I just an idiot but does the side switch only work to change modes? No on/off via side switch?

Bought for the wife but it's way too big for her carry requirements.. and it's kindve ehh for me, the beautiful finish and color (and my ability to steal the led for another build) are the only thing's saving this light right now from the open market... the tail switch is nice though ..

seeing a Real life size shot of these two, it looks like I need the ts21 instead, nice size for a 21700 light!

discount update now

Thanks for sharing :+1:

Some people like that tail/side switch function - I don't see it. Anduril has the same tail switch tactical feature but with the ability to turn it off on the side switch, thus keeping the switch LED ON. I rushed into this one just for the unique color. A better choice would be the SC31 Pro in blue or green with the SST-40 here, or the FC11 w/LH351D but just in black here.

I really hate long tube lights. That and cool cct.

Ordered another, thanks.

Received mine yesterday. Fast shipping, just a week from China to UK.

Was expecting it to give greater range than Convoy S2+ SST40, but the difference is only marginal. Has a narrower beam, due to the deeper reflector and de-domed nature, which gives a few yards advantage. Perhaps in larger form factor torches the difference between sst40 and sft40 will be more apparent.

Nice light though. My only criticism is that the side button led only stays on for 5 secs to show battery status, so it is hard to find button in dark to change modes.

we have a plan that update FC11 2.0 with SFT40 ,tube design will keep as FC12, no tail switch

I agree with Tom E and Artie that the 2 flaws with this light are its tail switch which is not necessary & it’s length. That’s why I have 4 SP31P’s, they just WORK. It’s a bit of a shame as the beam, color and feel in hand is great on the FC12. It’s just damn annoying having the fumble with it to turn it on. These things could easily be changed to make it a great light, I really like the new emitter and reflector that’s used. Anyway I stole the clip off the Wurkkos and put it on my short tube SP31P so all is not lost. Would I recommend this light to a flashaholic… probably not.

Here is a pic of the Wurkos FC-12 next to some other single cell 18650 lights. We have Olight Warrior Mini, SP31-P long/short tube, FC-12, Olight Baton-II, Lumintop FW4A.

when remove the tail switch, we would love update the same LED on FC11, may call it FC11 Pro, ( SFT40 is awesome till now, good power and distance)

It's utterly ginormous!

Yes, the SFT-40 is a powerful LED, hoping for a 5000K version though, but still, just order 5 more of these as bare LED's from KD.

FC-11 Pro: SFT-40, Anduril 2, available in colors!

I don’t mine the extra length, to me it just means more mass and surface area for cooling, w/o it being as wide as some other choices.

Would be nice if the electronic side switch could also power off/on the light though…didn’t expect only the tail switch would do that.

only black color on amazon de ?

Yea, but the mass isn't in the best place for cooling, for sure. It doesn't need a deep reflector and doesn't need a massive style tail switch - tail switch's can be done shorter.

can a driver reprogram make the e-switch a power switch? that’d solve my issues w/ the host. I’m not mentioning these issues to the 2 ladies that like the light. ignorance is bliss.
