A nice three-way comparison review!
Thanks Darren!
Cheers Gus :D long time overdue, and these Wurkkos videos seem to get tons of views.
I have used the FC12 for a while on many night shifts. I had 2x, gave one to a friend. Problem for me was the port cover which just did not survive reholstering. Other than that a great inexpensive tactical light. Hovever, it is surpassed in many ways by the SC32 which is more an allrounder though.
Yeah, these port covers always seem to be a weak point. An alternative is putting it underneath the bezel (unscrewable) or maybe using another design.. rubber port covers seem the most economical option.
I ordered a bag of about 30 USB-C covers from Amazon so when one fails on a light, I always have a couple of spares with me. Very inexpensive.
@@watchcollector1968 30!? Damn, you're prepared haha
Another good mention is that the FC13 is the only one that can be used as a power bank to charge your phone 📱
Yes true, thanks for sharing that mate.
New FC11s miss eco mode but i still love my flashlight.
Yes I agree, there needs to be a true moonlight mode on the FC11! Thank you my friend.
really appreciate this vid mate. Would've been so cool if fc12's sideswitch used anduril, and the tail switch stayed tactical.
I built a custom FC13 that does just that. I added an FC12 tailcap and flashed an edited Werner firmware to the the light. Now it comes on in Turbo switch, but low if you hold the side and click the tail.
Ultimately, an anduril FC12 would be the perfect combination
Thanks mate, I don't mind the simple UI for tactical lights :) but it does get annoying to select the lower modes on the FC12 as I set it to turbo from the tail switch.
Genius! I'd have no idea how to do that.
@@DarrenYeoYTI am looking for a pocket sized rechargeable thrower with magnetic tailcap but I am confused between Sofirn SC31 Pro and Wurkkos FC11.
Please guide
@@Pritam043 if you're looking for a thrower in this price range, look for the FC12. Unfortunately most lights with magnetic cap are not throwers, more general use lights.
Hello Darren
I would like to ask you is it possible to use the shortened tube (18350) for FC12, because it would've been kinda cool if you can carry that FC12 with double switch in a shorter form, much more better for an EDC light.
Thanks Darren!
Yes the short tube works with the FC12 :D
The new FC11C looks pretty good, especially with the 519a emitter. It seems to be available only in black or blue, with a 5K CCT, at this point. Hopefully more colors and CCTs will be available later.
Interesting, is that the one with a buck driver?
@@DarrenYeoYT Yes, according to the specs I saw it has a Buck driver. They have the limited edition blue one on sale for just $22 US on the Wurkkos site. I bought the gold WK03 on Amazon today for $20, possibly also a limited edition. It also has a 519a emitter and a Buck PWM circuit.
Great breakdown. The extra bits like the strobe, etc. may give a better comparison. The fc12 can work as a great defense with a pretty quick and blinding strobe. Really enjoyed the video thou. Thanks!❤
Thanks Graham, apparently they've changed the UI of this light in the newest model so it has access to turbo all the time in momentary.
Just ordered a FC11 4000k LH351D, a FC13 6000k XHP 50.2, and another FC13 with SFT 40 6000k. And a HO5b headlamp. Paid $95 total for all that, ordering straight from their site.
What a bargain! Wurkkos is in my top 3 budget flashlight brands.
@@DarrenYeoYT Yea, I’m really excited. I live in Arizona, and I walk my dogs every day/night. Flashlights are essential for night walks in the desert. I got the 4000 k fc11, in hopes the softer 4000 k, will illuminate snakes better. While the purpose of the fc13 6000k XHP 50.2, will be to scare away coyotes and javelina. With the massive brightness and floodlight style. And I had to get a fc13 with sft 40. Because I figured that would make the snakes colors stand out more since it’s softer then the XHP 50.2 version. I was very surprised the see prices straight from site, we’re actually better then Amazon. But I can’t believe I got all this for just under $100.
looking to pick my dad out an FC12 for fathers day. Would you say the UI is fairly simple for anyone to operate? Thanks!
Hi there, that'd be a great present - one of my favourite tactical lights. UI is basic, you press and hold the side switch to ramp up and down. Tailswitch goes right to turbo on momentary!
@@DarrenYeoYT Thank You very much
Do you have the 18350 tube for the FC12 ? With a good molicell it's a real tiny beast, one of my very favourite lights
Yeah I use the one from my Wurkkos HD15 headlamp. It's an awesome little tactical EDC. I have a Nextorch TA20 arriving soon which is even smaller.
@@DarrenYeoYT Ooh, I guess the review is incoming soon ! Nice 😀
@@lightsgunsedc1020 yep once it arrives :D it is still somewhere in China at the moment
Do you know if the Pocket clip of the FC12 or FC13 fit the FC11?
I don't have it with me right now but yes it should fit. But the friction ring is thinner and won't attach as firmly as the stock one.
Can you link the tube to make them shorter for 18350s?
Thanks
Think you can find them on Ali expression mate. I don't have the official link
Fc11 vs fc12, which one you would choose?
The FC12 - but I'm more into tactical flashlights.
Fc12のUIは新型と旧型どちらが優れていますか？
Hi, I don't have the newest model - so am not sure what the new UI looks like.
But the old one works fine for me, easy access to turbo.
thank you for your reply. Apparently there is no need to replace it with the new fc12. I like fc12 and mh12se now. It's the perfect balance between tactical and everyday usability. Looking forward to the next video!
Which do you prefer?
Hi Jan, the FC12 is my favourite. But that's because I'm into tactical flashlights.
@@DarrenYeoYT i see.. i am leaning towards that one as well, will buy when able.. ty for the good comparison! Keep up the vids!
@@janflores4211 cheers Jan, the other two are floodier lights but the FC12 has high candela, longer distance. Could be used for self defence scenarios.
@@DarrenYeoYT is this a more throwier than the ts11?
@@janflores4211 No. The TS11 will throw further than these 3 torches. Maybe wont last as long with its smaller 18350 tube and battery, but it is Anduril 2 and a little beast. TS11 is fantastic, get an FC11 as well so you can swap the 18650 tube and batteries for the best of both worlds! TS11 with longer runtimes and a tiny FC11. Cool.
FC13 can use 18350 tube?
Yes it can
I haven’t ventured into your channel yet, but have you found lep yet?
Yep I have three of them - they're great fun ! Can only use them for spotting though
@@DarrenYeoYT and edc. Gotta think outside the box.. my fenix review, I went over that lol
@@AverageReviewsYT have you tried applying for the Amazon Influencers program yet? I think you could retask your videos on there too.
