FC11C Led Flashlight Rechargeable High Lumen 1200, 90 High CRI Small Flashlight, Super Bright EDC Flashlight IP68 Waterproof, 155Meters, Magnetic Flash Light for Home (5000K)

I heard about the new FC11, and was intrigued, and after hearing people going on about it, ordered one for myself. :D I've always liked Wurkkos and Sofirn lights (which share quite a bit of genetic material), so it's no surprise I like the FC11 as well. It's both different and similar, which seems contradictory, but it's not. The head is almost identical to the SC31B, yet the body-tube is unique, not smooth nor knurled, but ribbed, which is a new feature. The tailcap is magnetic as well, letting it stick to metal surfaces. (Beware of carrying any light with a magnetic anything, as it can come dangerously close to credit cards and such, and erase them.) So this can be a perfect around-the-house light, or tool-bag light as well. In the typische orange-and-white Wurkkos box is the light, printed manual sheet, baggie with lanyard and extra O-rings, and USB-C charging cable. First impression is that quality is excellent. Perfect anodisation, no nicks or spots, a nice smooth semi-gloss black ano. Except for a blue ring around the side-switch that provides a nice splash of color, everything on the light is black, including the pocket clip. While it's not a deep-carry clip, it's not the usual chrome clip that looks like an afterthought on so many lights. The light itself has a nice bit of heft to it. Everything feels quite solid, nothing cheap or chintzy anywhere. One especially nice touch is that the light uses a LH351D LED, which is a fan-favorite among light enthusiasts for its great tint, color, and rendition. No surprises here, as it throws a great beam, especially in the orange-peel reflector. No rings, very little tint-shift, just a bit of a corona around the hotspot. The user-interface (UI) is quite good. There are two main modes of operation, stepped and ramping. Stepped, which is set by default, is simple to use. Click on, click to cycle through 5 modes from "eco" (moonlight) to low, medium, high, and turbo. Click and hold to turn off. I know, I know, a lot of people want just click-on and click-off, but I've always been used to a long-click to turn off, so it feels quite natural to me, and I don't mind at all. Ramping works as expected as well. Click on, click/hold to ramp up, another click/hold to ramp down, click off. That should make the click-off crowd happy. :D From off in either mode, click-and-hold for at least 3 seconds to switch between ramping and stepped. The light will blink quickly a few times, then stay on in the new mode. From on or off, again in either mode, a double-click instantly gets you to turbo, nominally 1300 lumens. One more click gets you to the previous mode (lit or off). Nb: this a FET-based driver, so is *not* regulated, but proportional. Brightness will depend on the cell's voltage, and the quality of the cell. So yes, as the battery depletes and the voltage decreases, brightness will gradually decrease as well. The included cell is quite good, so you'll get good brightness out of the light. Speaking of decreasing brightness, turbo is indeed turbo, meant for short bursts of bright light, and will start ramping down after a minute or so to something more sustainable. You can re-double-click to get back into turbo, but then it's on you to watch the light's temperature. The timed step-down is rather conservative, maybe too much so, to keep The Muggle from burning himself. :D The switch is backlit to reflect the cell's voltage. Green good, red bad (recharge). Done. Recharging is done via a covered USB-C port. Blinking red means charging, green means it's done. I'd still want a deep-carry clip to be able to pocket-carry the light and not have half of it sticking out, but I typically immediately remove clips anyway, so that's not an issue to me, but it would keep me from carrying it daily. It still makes a good bag-light regardless. All in all, everything works as expected. Quality is also the expected level from Wurkkos and Sofirn, no glitches or hangups along the way. I'm digging the new ribbed design, too. :D

I wish I had photos of this flashlight because it was an awesome buy. This light isnt like the one built into your phone, it will litterally iluminate the whole sky. I had originally bought this for camping because well the LED lights at academeny wernt cutting it. Ive been taking this light with me on all my trips from now on Big Bend NP, and quite frankly Im no longer scared of the dark haha. It charges fast and well, you can dim it down if its too bright by holding the power button. Its small, about the size of the palm of my hand, its also magnetic so have used it on fishing trips or also for working under the hood of my car where tough to reach places are dark. I honestly wish I had more than one. I can compare it to those big bright headlights/spotlights in how much it iluminates

I have the previous version of this light, the FC11, and I liked it so much that I purchased the FC11C to replace it as my everywhere carry light. I liked the black one that I had to hop on the green version and it's absolutely beautiful! The FC11 series lights have a great lumen output, magnetic base, great build quality, usb-c charging, and a well built pocket clip. The new FC11C is vastly improved under the skin over it's predecessor. The FC11C uses a high end Nichia 519A LED so the light output is really color accurate and has a high CRI. This means when you are looking at colors such as, red, green, blue, etc… they all look the way they should and are not washed out. This may not sound like a big deal but when you are trying to identify something in the pitch black, you will be happy you have a light with good CRI. The other major improvement on the FC11C is the driver. A driver basically takes the power from the battery and allows it to flow to the light. The new FC11C uses a buck driver which is very efficient. An efficient driver will generate less heat and will regulate the power much better which means that you will get much longer run times and the light won't burn you after it's been on high for 5 minutes. One other note about the light is that mode 2 opens up a ramping mode that allows a really low lumen low mode. This is even lower than the low mode that the light ships with out of the box. I love the extra low lumen mode for not waking my wife up when I have to get up late at night. To enable this, hold the button down when turning the light on. It takes about 3 seconds and the light will flash once to let you know that it's changed. Trust me, do this right away, it's a game changer. Overall, if you can't tell, I love this light. It's got everything you would want from a multi-purpose light and you won't be disappointed. The FC11C is the one to get and I 100% love the green version.

This flashlight has the following things that make it the best flashlight to buy for normal people in my opinion: 1. Simple interface for basic function. 2. Great price for the output and runtime (even better when they have sales, and they do often) 3. Built in charging 4. Small size, but not tiny 1. You push the button, the light comes on. You push it again, the light goes off. Anyone can use this. You want more? There is more if you want to learn it, but you can turn it on and off like any flashlight you’ve used since the 70’s. Additionally: If it’s off you can hold the button down and it comes on super dim so you can go to the bathroom or check something in your kids room without waking other people up. Double click the button and it goes to it’s brightest setting. Click and hold the button while the light is on normally and it changes the brightness. 2. If you go to a box store you’ll pay this much for a light that doesn’t last nearly as long and isn’t nearly as bright. And probably doesn’t have charging built in. If you go down a rabbit hole of fancy flashlights there are better ones out there, but they cost more. Sometimes starting at double what this one costs. 3. It uses lithium batteries, which most normal people probably don’t have chargers for. BUT: It has built in USB C charging. And it’s real USB C, not just a USB C shaped port that needs a USB A brick and an A to C cable. If you have a USB C charger, and a C to C cable this will charge. 4. It’s about as long as a toilet paper tube (US in case other places are different). But it’s about 1/2 the diameter or so. Most adults will find it fits comfortably in their hand, and it’s surprisingly light for its size. Most children should also be able to hold and use it comfortably. Additional notes: Make sure the model you get ends with a “C”! FC11C vs FC11. The C at the end means the electronics are updated and you’ll get more light output for longer due to some efficiencies there. It’s also offered in 4000k and 5000k options. For those not aware the higher the number the more blue the light appears, the lower the more yellow. I have the 4000k and really like them. They have a more classic incandescent color to them while still being nice and bright. The 5000k will have a more modern LED look to them, although not really blue like a 6500k or higher light would be.

The Wurkkos FC11 is a ~1300 lumen 18650-battery powered rechargeable flashlight. As you can see in the picture, it comes with light, 18650 battery, USB charging cord and lanyard. As is typical for EDC lights, a clip is also installed on the light. The FC11 produces a long lasting and beautifully tinted beam. The joy in the FC11 comes not only from the 90-second 1300 lumen output it can produce, but from the sustained 4000k warm light it produces from the LH351D LED... No frozen white or green/blue hues here! As I tested, the FC11 charges the included battery to 4.18V, and discharges to 2.75V. That means it safe for both protected and unprotected 18650 batteries. Technically, the FC11 is a marvelous little rechargeable light. But what really separates it from the thousands of cheap lights on Amazon is the quality of the light! IMHO, the 4000k LH351D might be the best tint LED ever produced. There are absolutely no green or yellow hues in my FC11. The Nitty Gritty: When the FC11 arrived, I went about testing the battery, light beam, size/weight, UI and charging features of the flashlight. The battery came charged to 3.91V. As seen the the summary above, I measured both the maximum charge level and low voltage discharge cutoff, and both are great. They should keep the battery safe and ensure a long life. I put the supplied 3000maH Wurkkos battery through my Opus BT-C3100 analyzer. It indicated true capacity at 2932mAH.... perfectly acceptable. The FC11 has a USB-C connector and supplies a cable. The side switch flashes red while charging, and turns green (and then shuts down) when fully charged. When the FC11 is nearly fully discharged, the output will dim and the switch light will turn red... I did not notice its passthrough orange so it must have been brief! The FC11 without battery came in at 65g. That is 10g lighter than my C2+! In physical dimensions, they are nearly identical. It comes with a magnetic tail cap, and will allow the FC11 to be stuck to anything iron. The FC11 User Interface (UI) is a simple. It has two ramping modes (stepped or smooth), and it's easy to switch between them. A long press from off comes up in lowest/moon mode. A double click from off comes up in maximum output mode. A single click comes up in one of the ramped modes, a the level that the light was clicked off. When on, holding the side switch ramps through the light levels (low->high over and over). I like it because it has immediate access to low and high light levels from off, and you can ramp to any level you want. The stepped ramp has 5 levels including turbo. At any time, on or off, a double click gets you maximum output power (turbo). Let me end with a word about light levels and temperature. The FC11 is a small light. NO small flashlight can maintain 1300 lumen output without getting very very hot,so the FC11 has a 90 second stepdown from turbo to its next highest light level at 700 lumens. At the 300 lumen level, I measured temperature on the light at 102F. If you want a light that can maintain more than a thousand lumens for hours, it will need a head (with cooling fins) the size of a baseball. With those expectations, the light does great at extended runs of 300 and 700 lumens. It will get warm, but no so hot that it burns.

I ordered two of these last week after seeing reviews on r/flashlight. It's hard to find good flashlights that have quality light. This flashlight has a CRI of over 90 (CRI = color rendering index) and that's one of the most important things about this light. I compared the output of this light to my Fenix FD40. The FD40 has a neutral white emitter, and I can clearly see how the colors from this flashlight are much more vivid. When I point it at someone's legs, they look like a pale vampire with the Fenix, but "alive" with this flashlight. When I point it at something colorful, the reds and especially deep reds actually look red instead of like some sort of pale, faded magenta. Next to the FC11, the neutral-white Fenix appears like it might be around 70 CRI. And the UI allows you to choose any brightness, not just a preset low, medium, and high. There's also an option to switch to presets, but I like the ramping up and down feature much better. Also, the light is much smaller than I expected. This flashlight makes me happy. I wanted to order 3 more as gifts, but they only had 2 more coming into stock, so I ordered both. Sorry everyone. Hopefully they'll have more in stock soon. ------------------------------------ Wurkkos, if you're listening, the two flashlights I want most right now, but that don't exist yet, are: 1. The same as the FC11 (high CRI) but with a 21700 battery, allowing a bit more output but more importantly, much more runtime. I love the compactness, but would appreciate a *little* more in the way of a heat sink to allow longer runtimes at higher output. This light is 1300 lumens, so maybe just 1600 for the max. I know you have one with a 21700 battery, but it's not high-CRI and is a bit different otherwise, too. 2. A high CRI flashlight that uses TWO 21700 batteries, perhaps stacked above and below each other rather than in-line, so they can be connected in parallel. If it's done right and has, say, the ability to separately switch(/disconnect from the circuit) each battery for charging, then it should be able to charge both batteries as well. (Perhaps this can be done either with a dual "pole" mosfet or a clicky switch at the rear? ..but if it's cheaper, a dual-pole clicky switch in the tail could serve as both a lockout to the soft-press button, and as a hard power-off for charging. This is based on my understanding that the proper way to charge two batteries is separately or vs parallel or in series.) My desire for a two-21700 battery flashlight is more for runtime than power output, but it would make a huge difference in power delivery for higher outputs. I would never buy a flashlight like this if it was not high-CRI. Period. That's why I got the FC11 in the first place. If a dual 21700 was even higher than 90 CRI that would be even better. A 94 to 98 CRI light would be best. I don't know how much the cost would go up for this, but any flashlight with as much power as two-21700 batteries would be even more versatile if it could serve as a battery bank, too.

Honest review of free product provided by Wurkkos The Wurkkos FC11C is a great combination of value and performance. It does everything well. The “C” version is an update to the original FC11 which was already a solid light. The C adds a better Driver circuit which helps keep the voltage constant over the life of the battery resulting in a steady brightness instead of getting dimmer as the battery depletes. The C also has an updated LED, the enthusiasts favorite Nachia 519A. It’s a great LED that has high color rendering. The build quality on this light is excellent with perfect machining and anodizing. Amazing at this price point. It includes a 18650 3,000 mAh rechargeable Li-Ion battery. The battery can be recharged with the on board USB-C charging port. Very convenient. It has a status LED in the button which lets you know when the battery is getting low and also shows the charge status. This model does not appear to have reverse charging, so you won’t be able to charge you cell phone with the Flashlight battery. That is not really a negative because the 18650 battery size doesn’t have the capacity of its larger Brother, the 21700. It is nice that the light is offered in multiple colors. Be careful with the Amazon listing because they have the FC11 and FC11C on the same page and it would be easy to miss the difference when ordering. The User Interface is simple and easy to understand. On, Off, and ramping of the brightness with a simple button press or hold. You can easily switch between stepped or infinite ramping modes. It also includes Three Strobe modes; Tactical, SOS, and beacon that can be accessed with Three clicks. Four clicks will lock/unlock the Flashlight to prevent it from turning on in your pocket or bag. That’s very important for a high performance light like this. Another feature worth mentioning is the magnetic tail cap which allows you to attach the light to metal surfaces. Very useful. You can’t go wrong with the Wurkkos FC11C. It’s the perfect introduction to a high quality light for a beginner yet offers enough performance and features to satisfy any enthusiast. Thumbs Up !

I think in the world of flashlights you really have to see the color of the beam in action to know if you will like it or not. This is a "High CRI" light (color rendering index). I didn't realize how much impact this would have until I used this light side by side with it's sibling, the FC12C. For me, the warm, very yellow hue just doesn't light things up all that well. I understand that colors are more realistic with warmer lights but when it comes to what I can see, I will take a cooler, whiter light all day (night) long. As a mechanic, I think this light may be beneficial when working on wiring harnesses under the dash where being able to identify the color of wire in a tight space is extremely important but I haven't tried that against my other lights to know if it truly makes that much difference. Warmer lights are also less harsh so sensitive eyes may prefer this warmer color. I had to run this light on high or turbo to see well at all and as you may know, most lights like this can only run on those higher outputs for a very limited time before they "throttle back" due to thermal regulation. The FC12C on the other hand puts out excellent light even on its mid setting (which it can maintain for a long time) and when you hit high or turbo the light output is impressive for such a budget light. Size is nice. It will fit in a pocket but I wouldn't want to carry it in my pocket all day. Beam pattern gives a nice flood and I really appreciate the magnetic tail (but it doesn't have a tail switch which some people really like). I also like that this light has a buck driver so your light output should remain consistent whether fully or partially charged (as long as thermal regulation doesn't come into play). In my opinion, any new light should either have a buck or a boost driver these days. I have several Wurkkos lights and I am a big fan in general, just not a fan of this particular light. They make high quality lights at a reasonable cost. As I wrote this review I realized how many features of this light I really like. If they offered this light with a cooler led I think it would be one of my favorites but until then I'll stick with my others.

This light is small but really bright. It doesn’t take up much space and works exactly as expected. The high CRI 5000K LED gives off a natural, comfortable light that's easy on the eyes. It has a solid, well-made build, and I love the magnetic base. I already have a Wurkkos headlamp that's great, and this flashlight lives up to the same quality. I'll definitely continue buying their products. Good quality and worth the money.

Bright and holds a charge well.

Muy buena lámpara. El brillo es aceptable por su tamaño. La calidad de construcción y la duración de la bateria som muy buenas. No duden en comprarla, es un muy buen producto
