TS10 will be my first light and I have little knowledge, so I wanted to ask:
I want to receive 200 or 300 lumens at the very least and I will configure my light’s thermal ceiling to 50 or 55 as the quoted post. What I wonder is, how does durability change between these values?
Say, between 45-50-55-60. If I want to use my light for a few years without a problem, am I restricted to use 45? What is the safe limit, in regards to safety(burning a part) and general lifespan? (Hopefully 55 is okay since I want 300 lumens for my TS10, and its not brass if that changes anything)
The light will just get hot and the output will drastically reduce itself to keep the light safe . I’m pretty sure you can’t make it self destruct or become less reliable then it already is .
I was late to the party on this light but when Black Friday deals came around I had to pull the trigger on this little light .
Got a Red 6000k w/ red aux lites
and
A Brass 4000k w/cyan aux . << I knew while ordering that blue was a mistake and the only real answer is RED !!!!.. guess I have to get another :p
The two TS10 of mine with original FW version do not reset Lockout to off with 3C, and it doesn’t matter whether “Simple” or “Advanced” mode. However the two with the updated firmware function as published for 3C in lockout, and indeed set the light back to OFF.
Thanks for the replies. I just figured out my TS10 has old FW :person_facepalming: . The Wurkkos support confirmed before I ordered that they were shipping fixed FW and when I checked myself, I guess the orange LEDs were too dim that I missed it.
Advanced mode. All those I checked were the latest FW version. I do have one from the original batch and after the other replies I checked it and it does not work on that one
Do you use aux at high setting? I mean, it depletes battery in 3 days(from what I learned). Isn’t that too short, or do you charge your battery every two days?
Frankly, the high aux LED setting is just a novelty. I don’t really see a practical use for it. It’s WAY too bright to use as a flashlight locator. Momentarily as a moonlight mode is too bright. Frankly, I wish Wurkkos reduced the high mode by 50%. The low? It’s nicely dim, enough to be useful as a locator but not a really significant drain.
My TS10 aux LED usage: Low aux is the setting for lockout. At night, I lock out the TS10, so aux LEDs are on in low. To use as a “bathroom assist,” just momentary holding of the switch delivers moonlight. Works great. In the morning? Take the TS10 out of lockout, with no aux LEDs on.
