Maybe even a Quad B35AM. That would be ultra nice

Stop using $#!π LEDs.
Always give an option for 4000-5000K neutral with good tint. Use efficient drivers and good User interfaces like Anduril and rotary switches.
-Buck driver
-LEDs with better tint, not green like some CSP2323s
-3535 LEDs
-Different optics, such as frosted (which improves the light beam of some types of LEDs)
-No thread lock
Would love to see a TS10SG v2 with Anduril and dual fuel driver. ![]()
I like the idea of Dual Fuel
with a Boost Driver
and with NoPWM
good point.. Im OK with a single non swappable 17mm optic.. I dont need a triple LED TS10 to be a thrower.. it can just be floody
519a in a TS10 would be great!
(FFL and NTG are brand specific, proprietary).
A TS10 V3 that has all these features would be truly excellent!:
I think TS10 V3 should be like the V2 but with 3535 emitters like 519a and a 6A buck driver, similar to thefreeman’s 6A buck for FWAA. A captive clip like on the KR1AA and FWAA/FW1AA would be nice too but not required
Main reason for buck instead of boost like D3AA/KR1AA is the driver could also be used in a TS10 SG V2 with sft25r which I’d be more interested in since a throwy, efficient, and slim 14500 Anduril light does not exist yet
It would only support 14500 but I think that’s okay as it seems most people use 14500 anyway and the KR1AA exists now if people need a slim floody dual fuel light
You could have 2 different drivers for TS10 and TS10 SG to have dual fuel support - boost for TS10 and boost-buck for TS10 SG - thefreeman did this for the FWAA and FW1AA but it would be more difficult and cost more
I use the TS10SG as LED reference light, I have already 15 of them or so. With dual fuel I could avoid handling a lot of 14500 cells and switch to NiMH, which is safer (and cheaper).
This is the reason why I want a dual fuel variant of the TS10SG. ![]()
Glad to see the TS10 hasn’t been forsaken. Think my wishlist would be for an TS10 SG with a regulated driver, high CRI emitter and a longer TIR optic instead of a fresenel lens. I threw a 519a in mine and love it. I think the overall footprint won’t change much if you extend the light length. It might even be nicer to hold
A slight redesign would definitely make a new TS10 model stand out from the huge crowd of existing ones.
I’m loving the machining on the KR1AA tube, it really helps with the cigar grip tailswitch dabbing.
No thread lock is a difficult one. Because they also sell to the mainstream market. And people are stupid. So they will disassemble the light and screw something up. Then Wurkkos will have to fulfill a warranty claim while there’s nothing wrong with the light. So no hopes there. But buck driver and 519a should be mandatory!
Since the TS10 is a triple LED, a dual fuel Boost driver could work (without Buck), as in Skilhunt EC150.. (and Emisar D3AA)
While a boost driver might be cool, it looks like Sofirn already made the buck driver with Anduril 2 for the Copper SC13. I am unsure they would develop a whole new Anduril 2 driver for this? I would be worried they would ditch Anduril 2 to trade for boost, if that were the case.
If they bring out a dual fuel version without Anduril, I’m out. I’m desperately searching for a more affordable (and easy to modify) version of the D3AA, and the single-LED TS10SG (which is otherwise very similar to the TS10) is already very close to what I want. Only downside of the current version is the handling with a lot of 14500 batteries which I don’t like.
I think they should just make it the larger 18650 or 18350 version with a proper driver. I like 14500 and those small lights, but honestly after bumping around with 18350, 18650 and 14500 lights for a while, I think 18650/18350 splits the difference for size, runtime, and output enough that I’d prefer the larger battery, plus more battery options (and cheaper).
I want a third version of the TS10.
Not a single-emitter light; that is a TS10SG. I’m fine with a TS10SG V2, but not so okay with it that I will consider a TS10SGV2 to be a TS10V3.
Not adding a USB-C port that makes the light longer and takes away a defining trait of the TS10. If it’s bigger than a 21700 battery then it’s not a TS10. Maybe a cousin, but not worthy of being called V3.
The form is perfect. The flaws are the FET+1 driver and the crapified CSP2323 that is a pathetic impersonation of it’s former self. A good boost or buck driver is essential in a light with such limited thermal mass. And going with either E21s or, better yet, 3535 emitters like the 519a would solve the latter unless you want to scold someone for the downgrade on the CSP2323 that screwed the tint and required a firmware update to avoid frying emitters.
If its going to be 14500 please the possibility of using AA.
If we are talking 21750, please think of producing the SG version soon. I liked the TS10SG so much.
The TS10 is way cheaper. This is what most people want, it has to be cheap.
Yeah all true…
However. I don’t need or want a magnet. I have never been able to visually detect any PWM flicker. I have never used the physical lockout on the KR1aa (problems with the tail cap reported). Negative DUV is nice, but I don’t see it as being a deciding factor for the great majority of buyers.
The captive clip on the KR1AA seems to be more of a hassle then it is worth (O-ring eating).
No idea what a new one would cost. But I got several TS10s over time for as low as $12.
Bottom line is the TS10 was a much better deal for most folks…
So I wait anxiously to see what they do with a V3, while I plan on what I would order for my next KR1AA… after availability resolves itself and they hopefully iron out some of the bugs.
