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

No worry my men.
The Silver version would be restarted in September.
And it’s also the first time MAO version we have try.
If there are any shortcomings or nice suggestions, please let me know. We will try our best to realize it.

I believe Gchart has already suggested adding an 1800-4700ohm resistor in series with the auxiliary LED’s. Please take his advice and do that. The aux LED’s are too dim on low mode but they are WAY too bright on high mode and will drain the battery in 3 days. With this resistor added, they should be a much more reasonable brightness level and should last much longer.

Nice little light arrived 12½ days after ordering.
The date on the driver is 20220609, so I guess it’s still the original driver.

I agree my Red Aux are very dim on low. I cannot see them during the day (unless I cup the light in my hands and hold it up to my eyeballs). I hardly even see the red aux in the evening, when my house lights are on. Otoh red aux on low are brighter than tritiums, and very nice for locating the light on my nightstand. Imo the red aux on low are perfect for me, to find the light when I wake in the dark.
.

So, part of the issue is what the Operator expects. If they want to see Aux during the day, the low Red will not work. Tritium also cannot be seen during the day.

otoh, I just received a TS10 w Blue Aux. They are at least 4x brighter than red, on low. I can easily see the blue aux during the day. For me, they are Too Bright for my nightstand. They are even bright enough to see my feet, and the walls, to walk thru my house in the dark. otoh w the Red aux I cannot see my feet, and cannot use them to see the walls and walk thru the house in the dark.

So, not only is it a matter of expectations, there are large variations between the Aux colors.

I agree the High aux are Too bright for both Red and Blue, because they kill the battery in just a few days.

thanks to gchart and the SP10 Pro flashing kit, I have also updated my TS10 to turn off the Aux when the main LEDs are on:
.

plus the hex file gchart provided has 10x lower lows, which for me is a Great Upgrade.

Hopefully the next batch will incorporate the new firmware fixes for Aux and lower low modes.

just for fun, these are the Aux on High, to show the beam profile… LOL
.

TS10 with a firmware update. is one of my favorite lights. Im looking forward to the Titanium version… :wink:

fwiw, these two lights have essentially identical Opple specs:
.

I set the aux lights on high then untwist the head when it’s not in my pocket.

what about when it IS in your pocket?

fwiw, and imho, untwisting the head is a Bad idea because IF the button gets pressed, the light goes into factory reset, and all my personal preferences (floor, ceiling, etc) get lost.

and for me, the Aux are useful for locating the light on the nightstand, so untwisting the head when its not in my pocket would not be helpful.

different strokes

For me (with orange aux) the current low mode is perfect for locating the light on my nightstand/shelf/etc. It is bright enough to see in the dark, without being distracting. With a long battery life.

High aux I currently don’t have a practical use for. It looks cool; that’s about it. If they make it dimmer, I will still not have a practical use for it. Because 4x or 5x dimmer will still be too bright for locator beacon, and the battery life will be still too short. So I don’t really care if they change it or not.

In the future I hope there is a TS10 Pro with efficient driver and RGB aux. I would pay more. If there is RGB aux then I might have stronger opinions on how bright it should be, since RGB aux has some more practical uses other than just locator beacon.

your wish could come true:

It’s a nice mod but it has no Anduril RGB functions, the LEDs were replaced with ones that automatically cycle between colors.

I would also prefer it had RGB, I really like seeing the battery level on my flashlights without having to do a clic sequence and count the flashes.
Technically the driver just needs two more pads, wires could be thinner enamelled ones instead of silicone for easier wiring, but keeping the aux LEDs on the MCPCB won’t be possible, it’ll need a second PCB for them, I don’t know if there is enough space with the optics ?

I’d solder the RGB aux LEDs directly onto a flat flex PCB with integrated flat flex cable that can be connected to the driver PCB (maybe make it longer and fold it several times after soldering). Similar techniques are already used by other flashlight manufacturers, for example Nitecore TINI tear down + emitter swap

That’s a great idea, the 4 mm hole should be good enough for fiting the flex flat cable between the LED wires.

Micro arc white possibly at the end of the month :slight_smile:

Will micro arc white be available in 3000k? Looking forward to the new batch.

the LED factory do not have stock last time, we will check if it available now

Are there any photos of that model?

I’d love to be able to get stock I keep checking and I just cannot buy.
If White Micro Arc is an option I’m keen to nail down at least one for myself with battery and ice blue aux.
If Brass is coming what kind of pricing?
Is there demand for a blue or purple model?

3000k, micro arc oxidation, and fixing the LVP / aux bugs would get me to purchase another one of these lights (maybe a few more for gifts).

there are dozens of SKU till now with 3 color body * 2 color tint 3 aux color 2 different kit with or without battery, the stock crazy to distinguish them :person_facepalming: so i am afraid blue or purple may not in planning
Brass price still not have a quote from the factory will update here as soon as possible.

TS10 Red body available ordering now :arrow_right:

Micro arc white: 5800 K + blue/cyan aux
Brass: 2700/4000 K + amber/orange/red aux
