The Wurkkos TS21 is an excellent budget flashight which offers great build quality and many features for the low price of $35. Small enough for EDC yet packing a 21700 cell, it offers USB C recharging, a magnetic tailcap, a nice high-CRI beam, ToyKeeper's Anduril UI, and over 2,000 lumens of output. The light can be purchased from Wurkkos directly here: (Anduril 2 version) https://wurkkos.com/products/wurkkos-ts21-new-color-metal-gray-and-champagne-with-anduril-20-21700-led-flashlight-3sst20-3500lm?VariantsId=10082 (Anduril 1 version) https://wurkkos.com/products/wurkkos-ts21-usb-c-rechargeable-led-flashlight-21700-3sst20-3500lm-anduril-ui-with-magnet-tail?VariantsId=10067 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Wurkkos-TS21-Rechargeable-Flashlight-Exploring/dp/B098F83T6X Anduril Usage Guide: (Anduril 1) https://ivanthinking.net/thoughts/emisar-d4v2-anduril-ui-manual/ (Anduril 2) https://ivanthinking.net/thoughts/anduril2-manual/ This light was sent to me by Wurkkos free of charge for the purposes of review.

The Noctigon DM11 has finally been released! Hank Wang of Emisar/Noctigon (intl-outdoor.com) has sent me a prototype version of the light to take a look at. I hope you enjoy this first look! The DM11 can be purchased here: https://intl-outdoor.com/noctigon-dm11-1-21700-middle-range-thrower.html Uses a single large TIR for a throwy beam, with Anduril 2 and RGB auxiliary LEDs. A longer, more detailed review of this light will come later, after I have more time to test it. So far though, it's very nice! This light uses a Nichia B35AM in 5000K, and is essentially identical to the final production version, but has a wide-angle optic that makes it much floodier than any version that can be purchased now, so please bear that in mind when you see the beamshots and measurements of this light.

ToyKeeper has released some really cool new Anduril 2 updates, which greatly improve the functionality of Hanklights (Emisars/Noctigons) which are using the linear constant current driver. This applies to the Noctigon KR4 and KR1, and the Emisar D4V2 (linear) and DT8. Here is the BLF thread which explains the update in greater detail: https://budgetlightforum.com/node/78686 Here is a better explanation of the ramp speed configuration: http://budgetlightforum.com/comment/1800345#comment-1800345 Here is the actual firmware repository where the update can be downloaded: http://toykeeper.net/torches/fsm/anduril2/ Instructions for installation: https://budgetlightforum.com/node/68263 The flashing kit can also be purchased from Jackson here: https://jlhawaii808.com/products/emisar-noctigon-d4v2-d4sv2-kr4-reflashing-kit Emisar DT8: https://jlhawaii808.com/products/emisar-dt8-dual-quad-18650-high-power-led-flashlight Just a quck and simple video for you guys today, I hope you enjoy!

High-CRI LEDs look a whole lot better than their low-accuracy counterparts, but that comes at the expense of some performance. The Acebeam E70 now comes with an option for the high-CRI GT-FC40 LED, which has better color than the standard Cree XHP70.2, but it's less bright and has lower runtimes. Is it a worthwhile tradeoff? This flashlight is available for purchase here: https://www.acebeam.com/e70-al Acebeam provided this light at a discount for me to review. All opinions and measurements shown here are my own. Note that I do not have the equipmet to do a proper spectral comparison of the two LEDs, so this is mainly a review and comparison of the two lights from a more practical standpoint.
