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

FC12 available on Amazon.us now, code 30% off —TUROPRPK

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.

Hhmm, you mean like what regular Anduril or Anduril 2 do? With these, like most e-switch firmware, they shut power off to the LED and put the system into a low power standby which is typically in the range of 20-30 uA. A click though "wakes" it up from standby mode.

If the MCU treated the e-switch like full power shutoff, then there would be no way to wake it back up via the e-switch. You may still have some parasitic drain as well from the driver components, not the MCU itself.

Yes, only black color now, will update purple on Amazon de when more stock ready

the length was for a longer throwing based on SFT40, Our initial idea is that a deeper cup can have a longer distance and it has a USB interface

Right, like andruil

I'm hoping it will be as easy mod upgrade to a driver running Anduril 2 with the tactical switch support. All that means for Anduril 2 is that a power switch ON turns the LED on to the last used level instead of leaving the LED off, as it does normally. I got a couple modded lights with an e-switch and a power switch running like this, and for me it works pretty well.

Just wish Wurkkos made this light this way, out of the box.

I was sort of hoping I could put my usb dongle to use and flash the existing driver. Please let me know if you find a suitable driver. It will be cold out before I have time to take it apart myself.

Mine arrived in NJ 3 days ago, so it says, but no movement since. Once I get it, will take a look.

Good luck - mine spent 3 days in NJ then went to indiana, then back over to NY.

Why this light is not 21700?
Same story with IF25A. Does not have mechanical swich on tailcap.

Where can I find those reviews?
Is Amazon NL also possible to order from?
