I like it! But does it run Anduril? I presume not, due to the UI features you mentioned… which would be too bad, no Anduril means no deal for me and many other enthusiasts.
EDIT: as explained below, @APLOS please don’t feel unwelcome or rejected in any way, I was just making my (and other enthusiasts I have heard from) personal view on the subject clear. As @PiercingTheDarkness made abundantly clear, there are plenty of people here who appreciate non-Anduril lights, so please don’t feel discouraged in any way.
The only requirements are an ATTiny MCU and an e-switch, and nowhere in the announcement it says it doesn’t have either, so I don’t understand why you think wishing Anduril on this is “nonsense”. Different strokes for different folks, you can have yours and I can have mine and there’s nothing wrong with either of us.
No one would use Anduril on a tactical model though, that’s all I’m saying. Sofirn released an Anduril based model where the UI was altered to suit a tactical model, but not the standard full Anduril. I can’t say I’ve seen any in law enforcement wanting Anduril lol.
This brand is new here and the first comment is from someone mentioning it’s of no interest because it doesn’t have Anduril, come on man. Convoy only has the S21E with Anduril, but that brand is extremely popular without it, same goes for many models from Sofirn and Wurkkos too.
Btw, APLOS is from the Sofirn factory. Same packaging, same style as the brand called “Yakorsei” that went under during covid and they were a higher range of Sofirn products
Thanks for the clarification, but please bear with me when I tell you that this is categorically wrong: I for one use Anduril’s tactical mode all the time on my TS10, it’s very useful when handling the light to a non-enthusiast (as it’s simpler than the already very simple “Simple” mode).
I didn’t say it was “of no interest”, I said it was “no deal for me and many other enthusiasts”, a much more qualified claim and one I continue to stand by.
But thanks for pointing it out, I understand your concern now – and my intention is not to make anyone, vendors or otherwise, feel unwelcome, but just to make it clear how I personally (and other forum members who I have heard from) feel about non-Anduril lights.

Thanks for the info, I knew Sofirn and Wurkkos shared manufacturing facilities, but didn’t know Yakorsei and APLOS were/are sharing it too.
Looks like flashlight manufacturing in China is getting a bit like motorhome manufacturing in Germany: there’s a gigantic factory over there in the outskirts of Dusseldorf (IIRC) that makes (literally) thousands of motorhomes a day, for many dozens of different brands. In the end, scaling up helps to get better quality and lower prices and benefits everyone, and brands are better off competing on other things like design, after-sale service etc than on having their own factory.
