Wurkkos TS26S Rechargeable Flashlight,3100 High Lumens LED Flashlight 95CRI,Magnetic Tail Cap,191 Meters 5000K Boost Constant Current,IP68 Waterproof for Dog Walking,Camping,Emergency

Flashlights come in all shapes and sizes, but I think this one is a real contender for the best flashlight for the average person. The user interface is simple: press once for on, once for off. Hold the button to cycle through brightness levels. That's enough for most people. You can also triple press for SOS strobe and quadruple press for lockout mode so you can toss it in a bag or pocket and not worry about it getting bumped on. It's bright, rechargeable with a USB C cable, waterproof, the magnetic tailcap is super useful, and it even works as a battery pack to charge usb devices.The flashlight has four diodes with well thought out reflectors. The throw is good, clean, and bright. I don't go for high CRI lights necessarily, but things look much nicer under this light. Two things in particular surprised me about this light. Firstly, it stays surprisingly cool compared to a lot of other flashlights. I think that's a function of the drivers used here and the extra thermal mass. The second thing is this thing feels premium and stands out noticeably even among other Wurkkos products. The matte gunmetal color and the spiral tooling is something special.My everyday carry is the FC11C. I throw it in my pants pocket and it comes with me most places. I've bought a lot of them as gifts for people. The only thing keeping me from using the TS26S as my EDC is actually two of its better features. The 21700 battery is heavier, but it gives it more life. The larger business end puts out better light and lets you sit it down on the table nicely. You can throw this in a pocket no problem, but I feels the FC11C is still better for that since it's consistently sized and used a smaller battery. That and I don't use a flashlight every day. However, when I know I'll be using a flashlight I'll be using this one.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been a fan of Wurkkos flashlights for a while now, and the TS26S is another fantastic addition to their lineup. I also own the TS25, which is a great light in its own right, but the TS26S takes things up a notch with its boost driver instead of the TS25’s linear FET driver. The key advantage here is that the boost driver in the TS26S maintains consistent brightness levels regardless of battery voltage, making it more efficient and reliable over extended use—especially when the battery starts running low.Performance-wise, the TS26S delivers an impressive 3100 lumens with a beautiful 95CRI 5000K tint, providing excellent color rendering and visibility. Compared to the TS25, the beam is slightly narrower, which gives it a bit more throw while still maintaining a nice balance of flood and hotspot for general use. The magnetic tail cap is a great touch, making it super convenient for hands-free use when working on projects or in emergency situations.Build quality is top-notch, as expected from Wurkkos, and with IP68 waterproofing, I have no worries about taking it out in rough conditions. It’s compact, powerful, and reliable—great for dog walking, camping, and everyday carry.If you’re looking for a small but powerful flashlight that provides stable output and great efficiency, the TS26S is an excellent choice—especially if you appreciate the benefits of a boost driver. Highly recommended!

If you need a good, solid, reliable (so far), nice weight, usb-c, and plenty bright (to me anyway) then this may be a good light for your needs.This light has good throw, with a somewhat slightly more narrow beam i think. I like the tint / color of the beam. It is more of a white color beam. It comes with a big battery ready to use. When charging and when using the light, the button changes color to alert stage of charging and mode.If you leave the light turned onto the highest setting, it gets hotter after 5-10min towards the head of the light. You can still hold the light if you hold the light towards the base / bottom part of it. You can also charge things (like a phone) if you plug a usb-c cable into the light and your phone. It is supposed to be waterproof...but I won't test this. The battery life is pretty good and doesn't overly drain.I like the grip on it also, it feels nice in the hand with grip that you REALLY feel. The button has a nice click. This light changes brightness levels gradually like a dimmer switch up / down by holding down the button (instead of brightness changes directly without being gradual). I really like that as opposed to manually clicking through each mode, as it gives me a better idea of when i'm at the bottom and top of the brightness range by holding down the button.I like the magnet built into the tail also. It's not the strongest magnet, it won't stay up if you put it on it's side on something metal (it will slide down), but if you put it on top of something metal, it gives it that little extra stability to stay in place.The modes are pretty straightforward, including an eco / moon mode, which is nice for a really low light setting (just hold the button down while it's turned off). From there you can access turbo mode, highest setting by double tapping the button. Then you can access in between modes / brightness levels by holding down the button while it's turned on, which acts like a dimmer switch raising / lowering the light level. Tap the button 3 times for strobe mode. You can also change the mode settings from gradual dimmer change to a step mode by tapping the button 4 times. I personally prefer the gradual dimmer mode.This light just seems like a great durable, dependable, work horse of a light. I will update the review if something changes after longer term use. I don't know how this light compares to others for the price, but I'm sure it's comparable or a good value for the money, maybe better than others for the price.You can see the pics I took that show low vs high setting taken in the same places to compare.
