No email from them. I just checked my account on their website, no messages about this and my last order was in March. I haven’t bought a ton of stuff from them.
I would think if they give away something free like this they would ask for some publicity, but I haven’t heard anything. Seems pretty strange.
I’m also not an influencer but I’ve purchased several dozen Wurkkos lights in the past 12 months (many for family, way too many for myself). I didn’t get a surprise in the mail though.
After several days of no response, I decided to open the package. Really strange to be sent a product with no notice, not even a note. Hope the folks at Wurkkos are all right!
As for the HD04: Fun little light!
RGB modes are the special novelty of this little gadget. Leaving it on in RGB breathing or continuous cycling modes creates a nice ambiance.
The battery life is not mentioned for RGB modes but I doubt it needs much thought as it is not pushing 750 (!?) lumens which they state for the spotlight turbo.
And even though the battery is just 600 mAh, a bit less than a typical AAA, it is still practical with its clip, highly rotatable neck which allows positioning the light in any desired direction, plus a magnet in the base that isn’t mentioned.
The USB C port does not have a cover, yet it states IPX6 rating, so I’d be careful about water. The light can be operated even while charging, in spotlight and floodlight modes (at a medium-ish brightness) and in RGB in seemingly every mode.
There are strobe modes as well but thankfully accessing those requires a triple click in the UI. Also, there is a triple click shortcut from OFF in RGB mode to get to a blinking red light, which could be practical for cyclists, etc.
Seems like a gimmick light at first, but it’s fun, and ends up finding many cute little uses!
That is very neat indeed. At the moment I’ve got a Wurkkos HD15 angle light with an 18350 tube as my permanent EDC.
Or as they say: and everywhere that my jack went, the light was sure to go. But with the HD04 there’s certainly a new kid on the block.
they must have accidentally send mine to you lol. I’m curious what their criteria is. I have purchased so many wurkkos lights in the past year, but I did so through multiple wurkkos stores across AliEx, wurkkos.com and kickstarter so maybe I didn’t rate.
