flashlight

Matthew Lee of Wurkkos mentioned this to me by email last week and it's on the site now. I'm glad that Wurkkos is continuing to make Anduril lights since I thought they had given up on them.

This seems to be an Anduril version of the existing non-Anduril TS26S. It has a boost driver, flashing pads, and reverse charging which is handy in larger lights like this. Supposedly runs 520 hours in 1 lumen low mode. Come to think of it, that is fairly inefficient. Some energy might be getting lost in the boost converter at very low current. Anyway, it's ok, 520 hours is a lot, and most of us don't buy flashlights this large to run them at 1 lumen. It also says 135 hours at 15 lumens, which is much better in terms of efficiency. And it claims 2 hour charge time, pretty good for a 5000mah 21700 light. That means charging at 2.5 or maybe 3 amps.

Weight and dimensions are in tiny print on page 2 of the pdf manual: 122mm long, 35mm diameter, 175g including battery. It has an interesting swirl pattern machined into the battery tube and it generally looks nice.

Launch date mentioned is 1/13 (tomorrow) so right now they aren't taking orders, but maybe by the time you read this they will.

I don't feel likely to order right away since I generally prefer smaller lights, and I just got the TS11 for when I want a thrower. But, this certainly fills a popular niche and it looks like a good implementation.
