【TS10V2 Al available】Wurkkos "slender waist" TS10v2 aluminum version available with black,green,orange

I think we can make a decision soon—
and yes, a series 18650-21700 not bad :laughing:

+1 for RGB/multicolor AUX LEDs wherever possible. I just think if you put Anduril 2 on it would be a shame to not use all included features (like battery level display)

For me a 14500 triple is pointless. I find that 330 lumen with a reflector is more practical than a 1000 lumen triple that runs hot, sucks the battery and can’t throw worth a damn. Just my 2c

I get it, big numbers sell better.

@Wurkkos

What is the diameter of the head of this flashlight?

Now that Sofirn realised the long awaited AA + 14500 anduril 2, Sofirn SP10 Pro I don't think that increasing the size, and sacrificing output by making it AA compatibile is the best way anymore. It's to late.
Sofirn SP10 Pro is already out, I would strongly pick a fight with lumintop FWAA

for me it's option 3 right now.

As for the charging port, USB C presumably (assuming only 14500 light) I think it will widen the flashlight target group so it's good choice. Look at the Sofirn SC31 PRO hype.

Will it increase the size of the light significantly ?

And Deep Carry Clip with captive ring (like the lumintop FWAA but Deep Carry) is very desirable.

I agree with the points others have made regarding the triple working better with 14500 only and possibly being underpowered and too floody for AA.

So I like option 1 (if a good ramping/stepped firmware is used) to compete with fwaa by being half the price but still having hi CRI and simple/intuitive ramping UI.

Or option 3 to compete with fwaa by offering more features like usb-c charging and aux LEDs

There are a lot of opinions and suggestions, and you can’t make everyone happy. …But I’ll throw my opinion onto the pile as well. I think it would be interesting to see a longer single emitter option compatible with AA as well as a larger 18650 version with 18350 tube for higher output and better capacity. An 18350 version would be a good low cost competitor to the Acebeam TK16 which uses 16340.

21mm

My vote is for option 3.

I’d vote for anduril 2 14500 only with RGB aux. usbc recharging is fine but not completely necessary. would love a single emitter and high efficiency driver as well. Maybe some knurling since it looks slippery as it is. Would def pay more for those options! Could be the light a lot of us are looking for!

I vote for Option 2 - AA-Support with Anduril2. No need for Charging (Option 4).

Option 3 14500 with auxiliaries. A future model WK11 can be a single emitter reflector light and AA compatible.

Wurkkos needs to get into the auxiliaries game! I am very excited to know you are thinking seriously about it.

Thanks!

Wurkkos the driver, mcpcb and optic would be very useful to sell as diy parts.

Also want to say we appreciate that you’re another company that engages with us directly and takes in suggestions :+1:

#3, no charging, regulated driver, spring loaded inner tube. A Noctigon KR3 :person_facepalming: .

Just my thoughts… :+1:

Option 3. No built in charging. Doesn’t have to be a triple, single would be fine. Anduril 2.

Either no aux leds, or RGB. I wouldn’t want a light with single color aux that I was stuck with. One of the things I really don’t like about the current Emisar lineup is the single color lighted switches.

Robust design if it uses an inner tube like the FW series. Mine never did work right, and it’s totally put me off of that design- even though I do find it aesthetically pleasing.

For me option 3 would be fine, although I’d prefer USB-C charging as well. And please multicolor AUX light (and programming pads :innocent: )

YES. In the Emisar/Noctigon layout!

14500 with charging so it can be gifted

A good switching driver, Anduril2 and tail-switch will make this an absolute instant buy.

About option 2 vs 3… I don’t feel strongly either way. But for an efficient, 100% duty cycle boost driver: oh yes! make it as long as you need to! This will make the small battery last longer in lower modes.

About triple vs single LED, at 2A output there is over 20% gain in lumen from using 3 LEDs vs only 1,looking at some lm/A curves. Vf also stays a bit lower (good with a boost driver). But I would be happy with a single LED with a throwy TIR too.

Anduril is perfect for ramping, as well as managing heat and brightness (and everything else). Staying in simpleUI, or configuring it how you like and disable turbo (can now be done in the UI) for those that don’t want a hotrod or need to restrain themselves. 2A-3A should be fine with a 14500.

I want in on the first order please!
