I received this light as a gift from Wurkkos, for which I am very grateful.
It has a great beam for outdoor distances and it uses a High CRI LED, and a Boost driver with regulated output.
The TS28 also works as a powerbank:
The UI is very easy to use, with a direct access shortcut to the lowest mode of 3 lumens, Last mode memory for the 3 main outputs, and a shortcut to Turbo.
The switch button has a convenient battery level indicator, there is built in USB charging, and the light comes with a 21700 battery included. It is a handy turnkey package.

Thanks for the review
However, the high Duv is not what I would like to see, especially considering that 5000K is right at the border between daylight and black-body metrics. The Duv would be even higher if compared against a black-body reference with a neutral Duv, at, say, 4999K.
Also, could you perhaps take measurements at a reasonable power level, corresponding to around 500–1000 lumens, using ceiling bounce?
very welcome
here is the 45 lumen Low Mode and the 950 lume High mode:
I dont find the DUV too high, for outdoor use, and at that color temperature.
also note my Opple reads DUV about 0.0025 higher than a colormunki

It also says it’s an SFT70 gen 2. Isn’t it actually the new SFT70 without the gold frame around the perimeter?

crbnfbr:
says it’s an SFT70 gen 2
the box actually says 70.2
but Im confused by your question because afaik the 70.2 does not have a gold frame
so I asked googe whether the SFT70.2 has a gold frame
she replied
No, the SFT-70.2 (Luminus SFT-70X Gen 2) does not have a gold frame
does that help answer your question?

can you share a picture of the emitter?
I just received an order from Convoy as well as from KD with some SFT70 and i want to compare them
can you post a photo too?
its hard for me to get a good pic, but here you go:
is that what 70.2 is supposed to look like in your experience?
(I dont necessarily trust google)
this is my first one, I dont know anything about them.. Im impressed that it throws really well and is High CRI

If you look at this pic you can see the three different SFT70 emitters. The newest is in the MAO TS28 would technically be a gen 3.

Sure. surprisingly hard to get my phone to focus down in the reflector
jon_slider:
are yours labeled 70.2?
I have the regular TS28 from the BLF/TLF edition. as well as a version with a swapped KD 3000k High CRI version
strange thing is they call this LED SFT70.2
but is has the gold frame
this is the TS28 from the BLF/TLF edition:
(i just now see there is Schmutz on the emitter)

Strange they call in 70.2 just because Kaidomain did, when Luminous themselves call it Gen 2.
1 Thank
I agree the names are not consistent
whereas what the TS28 box calls 70.2 is high CRI but it is not in the CCT that KD sells as High CRI
anyway, the LED in the MAO TS28 is nice!
