Both of those factors will mean that we can expect the output to be less, and that’s what we see in fact. If budget is very constrained then this is a really good option if you want something with very good output. That's why I will probably stick with the Wurkkos, the light of which is very pleasant to look at (it also has higher CRI, which is good I suppose, but I don't really know how to tell the difference yet). The light is not that much larger than many of my other 18650 lights, and while those lights top out with batteries in the 3200mAh range, this one starts easily at 5000mAh. There’s very little need for the full bore output on this light, so lowering it only makes it easier to use for those not used to flashlights that could melt/burn things.

The button is blacklit rubber, but only lights up for battery status, which is silly and poor design. The above mentioned paramters are based on tests according to international flashlight testing standards (ANSI/NEMA FL1) using one 3,500 mAh 18650 Li-ion battery in our laboratory.

The emitter in this light is the Luminus SFT-40 and I have to say, for such a small LED, there is quite a bit of light output.

The FC11 is put together like a more expensive light, with thick anodizing, trapezoidal threads, and a well-sealed USB port. What I like about FC12 is the moonlight option - being able to go into our kids room without waking them up (via turning on the lights) looks super appealing.

Ceiling adjustment: Anduril also makes it really easy to adjust how bright the light gets, and with something like this — if you use it as a light for everyone you can quickly put a lower ceiling on it, or put it in ‘muggle mode’ for even more peace of mind. Flashlight manufacturers have been slow to adopt the LH351D, despite its combination of high output and very good color rendering.

The location of the clip on the body with “bezel up” carry would make this a reasonable hatlight solution.

And not until you enter another mode (turbo, strobe) memory will properly recover (this tells us the memory correctly saves the state, but normally turning on after using hold to ECO botches it).It’s bulky and heavy to carry in a pocket, so keep that in mind as this is more of a shelf light, than a carry light. The FC11 uses a FET driver, which does not regulate power other than by blinking the LED thousands of times per second (PWM). Great review, yours are helping me decide between this (but at 4000K), the TS21 and the Sofirn SC31 Pro. If you are familiar with the SST-20 at 4000k then you know what you get here, if not it’s an under appreciated LED with a very high CRI. This LED in particular looks like a dedomed SST-40, and a lot of the same attributes from that light carry over.
