[review] Wurkkos WK20 diving light [and for the WK20S as well]

Lightbringer · 2019-05-13T17:10:46.000Z

Hmm, I’ll have to compare for sure once I get home, but just from memory, I think it was an L2.

But yeah to all of the above. Really nicely put together, great switch-feel, nice beam, everything. That’s why I got 2 of ’em.

HONDARIDER · 2019-05-13T17:44:54.000Z

I’m interested in the WK20S with an XHP35 HD in it. Twice the output as well. I bet it will be great. For what it is intended for anyway.

Lightbringer · 2019-05-13T19:06:11.000Z

I think that’s coming next, no?

My only “fear” is that if the ’35 is a quad G3, then it’d likely have the same hideous urine-yellow corona that most G3s have. I’m hoping not, though. Diffusion film would likely fix that, but at the expense of throw.

But yeah, twice the lemons would definitely be nice!

I see there’s two options on lumens: 1,000 and 2,000. Did you get both?

Lightbringer · 2019-05-13T23:16:12.000Z

Ummm, nope? I got the WW 1000lm version.

Think the new one’s 2000lm and NW/CW. Not sure if it’s out yet.

They are showing two purchase options, the 1000lm for $29.95 and 2000lm for $39.95.

EDIT: Because some interest was expressed to the seller, they’ve decided the WK20S is worth more so they bumped it up by $10 more (now $49.95). I hope it’s clear to them that this is an unrealistic price. Don’t buy it.

Lightbringer · 2019-05-14T16:45:18.000Z

Yeah, I heard back that the new version is up for sale, 5300K!

Definitely not Angry Blue™!

Did you communicate directly with the seller dingnuo? The 1000lm version lists 3000k, but when selecting 2000lm there is no temperature listed. Is it 5300k?

I thought it said so… somewhere. Can’t recall where.

Good tint for a dive torch

Lightbringer · 2019-05-17T03:38:44.000Z

Anyone have the 2000lm version yet? That in 5300K sounds pretty awesome.

Lightbringer · 2019-05-18T05:29:33.000Z

Ummm, in all the rush, I don’t think I included a link to the light itself on Amazon:

So now ya have it!

I feel like I just BINGO’d! Looking today for just such a light… between 3000 and 4000 kelvin, side switch, decent output. Order placed!

Lightbringer · 2019-05-31T02:59:53.000Z

Yeh, you’re gonna love it. Nice and solid, seems bulletproof. And that WW light is reeeeeeeeally nice!

HONDARIDER · 2019-06-01T04:31:46.000Z

I was able to get both for review. Nice lights. I like the WK20 better just because of the tint. I’m going to order a 3000K XHP35-HD ftom arrow.com to put in the WK20S. But if you like the 5300K the WK20s is a good light also. It is sugnificantly brighter in the same size package.

That flashlight looks almost exactly like the Sofirn SD02A (uses XPL-HD 3000K tint)…

bmengineer · 2019-05-31T13:37:04.000Z

Any chance of a runtime test for this one?

Sofirn has an XHP35 version as well, with a different body design that isn’t dive level submersible. LINK. A good bit cheaper at $24.

Btw, it seems interest in that Wurkkos WK20S model caused price to spike from $39.95 to $49.95.

This is an interesting diving light: 10W-XM-L2-Diving-Flashlight. Very prominent carry-handle. It’s XM-L2, putting out 960lm, but has a proprietary battery pack serving 5400mAh with water tight charging port. LED indicator for battery level.

Yeh, I mentioned that up-top. Seems to be all-in-the-family. :laughing:
