[Design with Terry]Wurkkos TS32 15000+ Lumens Flashlight Concept

[Updated May 30th 2022]
The following pictures are the official version pictures of the current TS32 version1.
The products in this batch are mainly based on the combination of SFT40*1+XP-L2*12 emitters, and a small number of emitter combinations of SFT40*1+LH351D*12.
They had been available on Wurkkos official website.

In view of the dissatisfaction with the existing version, we have re-drafted a new design
——More lumens and further beam distance.
How do you think about this appearance?

Hi BLF friends, we want to go to Anduril 2 UI, but we have to go to our plan B for some reason.

That is
TS32 with dual switch, individually control spot light and flood light.
Better heat dissipation design.
Let me know how you think about it. Thanks.

Hi Wurkkos friends, we have another new product concept, first let me know how you think about the design.
Emitters: 12 SST20+ 1 SFT40
User Interface: Anduril II or UI of HD20
Battery: 3 21700 batteries
TYPE C charging and discharging.
and now your comments below.!https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Hd16b982cd9104b11823eadf4274dc126k.png

I know there is a tint ramp in the Anduril II, thinking it should be okay to change that part into Beam distance ramp. How do you guys think about it? Is there someone I can contact to do so? Your help will be very appreciated.

No comments until run time and ramp down graph is posted.

Lights that run on turbo for 10 seconds and step down to 200 lumens are deceptive and misleading.

For that many emitters then deeper fins needed for that kind of lumens otherwise very short runtime turbo.

I think better not use too high lumens and instead lower but longer runtimes on turbo is way better then super high and then a drastic drop to like 2-3000 lumens…

As I already said on the Wurkkos Facebook post, I really like it! I only miss some aux LED’s :innocent: I’d prefer Anduril 2 over HD20 interface, having the ability to use both type of LED’s at the same time (the beam distance ramp you mentioned) seems to be a good idea! Maybe we can even have the SBT90.2 LED over the SFT40 ? Although the tints will be too far apart I guess :confused:

I was looking to maybe buy a Sofirn Q8 Pro (powerbank functionality was a nice bonus) but seeing this has that as well and is a combination flood/thrower I’d 100% buy this one over the Sofirn! Having a light like this would be so nice to me because sometimes I carry a separate powerbank, flood & throw light, and this is all-in-one with replaceable 21700 cells :heart_eyes:

Looks very interesting, output will certainly be very efficient with that many leads and I like the look of the heatsinking fins, they’ll need to be deep and numerous along with some weight as heat in a compact size light like this will be the main issue.

The acebeam X80GT is a similar light which looks even more compact and can sustain 3600+ lumens for over an hour with 18 xhp50.2 emitters.

Some of the more recent wurkkos and sofirn lights have fairly good active heat management, get that right and this light has a lot of potential.

Good start. I agree w/ above, more surface area of cooling fins.

I really like the idea of ramping the throw, sort of like a zoomie.

At the risk of my comments being totally disregarded….that’s what I’d prefer. Focusable TIR with SFT40s. I imagine that’s costly to design and manufacture, but if the emitters were well focused when zoomed in I bet it’d sell like hotcakes.

I’m in for andruil but I believe you cannot run both at the same time. Niwalker has a good ui for their mmx18 model maybe that could be looked into

Any lumen estimations yet?

Looks interesting. I don’t see any reason why Anduril 2’s tint ramping functionality (like in the LT1) wouldn’t work. You can’t use the LT1 hex file though, if for no other reason than it having temperature regulation disabled. I would think we’d also want to disable to automatic tint ramping feature; not that it would hurt anything it just doesn’t make sense to me for flood/throw ramping.

The SST20 flood portion should be available in 2700k/4000k mix to remove green at low levels. I’d prefer osram culnm1.tg in the middle for maximum throw.

Please be sure to include a flat top adapter like convoy 4x18a.

Agreed on high cri warmer tints, I would prefer Xhp35 in the center. It is still superior to the sft in my opinion.
Thank you Lee Terry please keep us informed

Very interested in this light!

Definitely use Anduril 2. The simple UI is just as easy as HD20’S ui, but the advanced UI allows enthusiasts to customize. There’s no excuse not to use Anduril 2 here.

I think the SFT40 & SST20 mix is perfect. Please make sure to have 4000K as an option for the SST20’s, preferably a good bin with neutral or negative DUV please!

I would love for this to use 4x18650 cells instead of 3x21700 cells because I have other lights that already use 4x18650’s. Perhaps an alternate body tube could be an option?

Regardless of battery type, please include a flag top battery adapter like Convoy does on the 4X18A and 3X21A so we can use the batteries we may already have if we want to.

Finally, please include a tripod hole on the tail like the BLF LT1 to allow the light to be hung upside down or to ceilingbounce on a tripod. Some magnets in the tailcap would be cool too.

Thank you for taking feedback! I’m very excited about this light!

Ehh, I don’t have any problems with the XHP35 but that’s a 12-volt only LED which would mean a boost driver. Not that Wurkkos couldn’t do that, but it would complicate things for sure. For me, I don’t see any problems in using the SFT40 (or an Osram).

I just read this on Reddit, and this is my post for thoughts.


This is exciting! I love the design! Here are my thoughts:

- great layout using sst20 & sft40. Please offer sst20 in Hi Cri, 2700k option too!

  • my vote is 3 x 21700

- Consider - two mcpcbs. (1) mcpcb for the single center emitter and a Second mcpcb for the 12 outside emitters (gives buyers options for modding the inside emitter to different footprint 3V LEDS - osram, sbt90, etc.)

- Anduril 2 or Narsil UI only (narsil is a great UI for high power lights that do not "require" all of the extras that edc lights have like auxiliary LED controls, and narsil still have battery check which is VITAL)

- Needs a 1/4 x 20 threaded hole

- please include HANDLE in box

- please consider RETAINING RING for driver not glued in.

- back lit button

- consider COLORS- even if just DARK GRAY or SAND / TAN

very excited to see this light come to fruition, if it's a beast, I'll defintely buy more than one! Modding capabilities would be AWESOME.

agreed, for as much as I like the xhp35 HI 4000k (one of my favorite emitters), the sft40 is equally as impressive. And I would rather have the added numerous options of 3 volt emitters for that center led. Xhp35 and gt fc40 are the only 12v emitters I can think of that are worth using.

I agree with ArtieT59 :
- 3 x 21700 >> then 4 x 18650 (and offer yours 21700 rechargeable battery 5000mAh 3C 15A in bundle to this light)
- sst20 in Hi Cri + sft40 is good (4000k tint for sst20 should be more universal, but well we have spare power, and 2 x 6 2700/4000K can still be bright by themselves)
- Anduril 2
- a 1/4 x 20 threaded hole on both sides, so you can mount handle to it, and have switch face to you (right-handed / left-handed). I see something on one side, but don't know if it's it.
- please include HANDLE in box, or atleast to buy separately.
- deeper fins needed, ass always on this type of light (i want to mount it on handle, and use on HIGH for long)
- TYPE C charging and discharging (YES 3A, or PD, it's 3 x 21700)
- backlit button, and use your normal rubber switch, no plastic as in TS21.

For the Beam distance ramp, if you go for it, make sure it's not 100% fold - 0% throw, to 50% fold - 50% throw, to 0% fold - 100% throw, by one 1H.
But just adjusting the brightness for fold and throw separately by 1H, 2C for changing between changing fold and throw brightness distribution.

Here I was thinking that there are no good and fun tin can flashlights, and you just make me want to buy one.

Ps. I want to see somebody mounting MATEMINCO fan handle to it

Having a tripod hole and the button on the same side so that you can use the the button while holding the handle with the same hand is a great idea.

if we go that far, can we just have a repeat button on the handle? and hole to mount handle on the side? But that would drive the cost higher, so it probably would be sold separately.

I would love for there to be like a pass-through button on the handle. Including the handle and this design would probably cost too much, but selling it separately would be cool. It could just be a plunger that sits over the existing switch so when you press the plunger it presses the switch.
