The following is a very short juxtaposition of two similar torches, the Wurkkos TS10 Max and Noctigon KR3.
For the remainder of this review, the Wurkkos TS10 Max will simply be referred to as, “TS10 M”. And the Noctigon KR3 as, “KR3”.
Both lights have: Anduril 2, rear buttons, TIR optics, triple emitters, secondary RGB LEDs, and are powered by a single 18650 battery.
Let’s start with this picture because . . .
Left to right: TS10 M, NiteCore D11.2, KR3.
. . . seldomly needing greater light output than the D11.2 could provide is the main reason the other two torches were purchased.
TS10 M
KR3
As I purchased the TS10 M first, going forward in this comparison, it will be placed on the left side of pictures.
It will also be captioned and commented first.
Body Styles
TS10 M with bamboo inspired body and KR3 with hourglass inspired body. The finishing of the KR3 body provides much more grip.
Button Ends
Metal and Customer’s Choice - including magnetic
The TS10 M has a softer click than the KR3.
Clips
Clip-on and Captured
Note that both spin. The clip-on is more sturdy. The captured is deeper carry.
Optics
Proprietary In-house and Custom N203M
The proprietary produces a slightly more uniform beam and the custom produces a “punchier” beam
Emitters
Nichia 519A and Customer’s Choice
Secondary Emitters
Six RGBs behind diffused portion and six RGBs behind clear portion.
Drivers
Fast PWM buck and Loneoceans 32W Lume X1-C boost
Note the line in the picture showing PWM at lowest level.
Prices
The TS10 M seems to be permanently on “Christmas Sale” (with accessories and battery) for about $30.00.
And the KR3 has a base price (with fewer accessories and without battery) of about $50.00.
