Wurkkos Titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC Flashlight Review

The Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight was released, and it’s a huge hit! This triple-emitter, 14500-cell flashlight packs a punch and uses Andúril2!!

Official Specs and Features

Here’s a link to the Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight product page.

Versions

Versions, hmm. Well, there are a bunch! This review specifically covers the titanium body. There are several titanium options. There’s this stonewashed iteration, as well as a blue anodized version, and one titanium with a copper middle section.

There are emitter options – maybe all CSP LED but available in 3000K, 4000K (seen here), 6000K, and I think at one time, 6500K. Also available are auxiliary colors – red, orange, blue, and green. And finally, you can get this as a package with a 14500 (as seen here, recommended).

There are body colors in aluminum! Red, black, blue, silver, and green.

Price

This version of the Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight sells for $37.99, or you can add a cell (as seen here) for another $2 (which you should absolutely do). I think Blue oxidized and ti copper are both sold out. 🙁

What’s Included

• Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight
• Wurkkos 900mAh 14500 (optional)
• Pocket clip
• Lanyard
• Spare o-rings (2)
• Manual etc

Package and Manual

This is the manual I had with the red aluminum TS10. I believe it’s the same.

Build Quality and Disassembly

The aluminum versions of the TS10 were popular enough that we expected titanium and other metals. That’s reasonable! This is sort of the “vanilla” version of titanium – no copper section, not anodized blue. It’s still very nice, though.

Since this TS10 uses a tail e-switch, there’s an inner sleeve on the cell tube. That can be seen below (the black bit). The threads are unanodized and square-cut, but fairly small.

Only the tail end has a spring; the head has only a button.

I didn’t remove the tailcap or bezel.

Size and Comps

Dimension: 71.5 mm (length) × 21mm (head diameter)

If the flashlight will headstand, I’ll show it here (usually the third photo). If the flashlight will tailstand, I’ll also show that (usually in the fourth photo).

Here’s the test light with the venerable Convoy S2+. The version you see below is a custom Convoy S2+ host that’s been laser engraved by GadgetConnections.com. I did a full post on an engraved orange host right here! Or go straight to GadgetConnections.com to buy your Convoy S2+ now!

Also above is the light beside a TorchLAB BOSS 35, an 18350 light. I reviewed the aluminum version of that light in both 35 and 70 formats. I also reviewed that specific edition, the “Oveready BOSS FT Collector Vintage Brass” 35. I love it!

Retention and Carry

The Wurkkos TS10 flashlight uses a two-way pocket clip.

It’s a friction-fit clip (unlike what’s used on the FWAA, which is a collar-style clip.)

This clip has a couple of options for lanyard attachment, including a hole in the shoulder, and a long slit down the side.

Power and Runtime

The Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight is powered by a single lithium-ion cell. The size is 14500. Again, the optional cell adds only $2, so you really have to add that – it would be practically irresponsible to skip it! This light does not support 1.5V cells!

Put the cell in the normal way – positive toward head.

Here are a number of runtimes. Output is really fantastic, briefly. The light produces around 850 lumens for a few seconds, then drifts downward fairly quickly. That’s going to make a lot of heat, so it’s unreasonable to think that’d last for too long.

Unlike the previous version, I only observed eight levels in the stepped group, not 9. The 9th mode, which I’ve observed in the past is a lower output available in the ramping group. It’s very low!

Modes and Currents

Mode	Mode Claimed Output (lm)	Claimed Runtime	Measured Lumens
Turbo (Double click from on state)	1400	1h14m	855 (0s) 66 (30s)
Highest stepped	900	1h29m	737 (0s) 225 (30s)
7	580	1h20m	419
6	300	1h24m	238
5	130	2h43m	88
4	50	6h43m	25
3	10	–	5.6
2 (Lowest stepped output)	1	–	0.45

Pulse Width Modulation

I’ve done mostly the same thing here that I do with other Andúril lights – the lowest mode (far left) is the lowest of ramping.  Because that’s much lower than the lowest stepped mode (annoying!).  Then from the second photo to the far right is each of the stepped modes (with the far right being the “double click to turbo” mode).  All modes except the highest have PWM (again, not a surprise for Andúril, and doesn’t look to have been sped up for Andúril2.

Here you can see a “baseline” – a chart with almost no light hitting the sensor.

Then there’s the Ultrafire WF-602C flashlight, which has some of the worst PWM I’ve seen. It’s so bad that I used a post about it to explain PWM! Here are multiple timescales (10ms, 5ms, 2ms, 1ms, 0.5ms, 0.2ms) to make comparing this “worst” PWM light to the test light easier. That post also explains why I didn’t test the WF-602C at the usual 50us scale.  Also, here’s the light with the worst PWM I could find.  I’m adding multiple timescales, so it’ll be easier to compare to the test light.  Unfortunately, the PWM on this light is so bad that it doesn’t even work with my normal scale, which is 50 microseconds (50us).  10ms.  5ms.  2ms.  1ms.  0.5ms.  0.2ms.  In a display faster than 0.2ms or so, the on/off cycle is more than one screen, so it’d just (very incorrectly) look like a flat line.  I wrote more about this Ultrafire WF-602C flashlight and briefly explained PWM.

User Interface and Operation

There’s a single switch for interacting with the Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight. It’s an e-switch, with a big button.

This button has a nice texture and a great action. It’s sort of a “ripple” switch cover (design). Neat, I like it.

The action is very low.

Andúril2 is great, and I think it’s an improvement over the first iteration(s).  There are some things some users might not love about it, but I think overall it’s much more approachable.  I will note though that the nomenclature might be a bit confusing – the light (all lights with Andúril2) ships in Simple UI.  This is not Muggle Mode.  You may think “well duh” and by now you’ve already seen the blistering runtime on turbo of Simple, so you get it.  But just be aware, don’t hand this light to the uninitiated thinking they won’t set their hand on fire while using Simple UI.  Here is where I’d tell you how to switch to muggle mode.  There is no muggle mode.

Here’s a user interface table!  This table is directly from ToyKeeper’s Andúril2 manual, which you can view here:

http://toykeeper.net/torches/fsm/anduril2/anduril-manual.txt

I am putting this in a table here with ToyKeeper’s permission.  Thanks, TK!  This is so much better than me writing it because it’s more reliable, and I completely trust its accuracy (at least, if I can paste it accurately).  I’m breaking it up a little differently than ToyKeeper did, though I certainly understand why it was done her way originally.

First, the table for Either User Interface.  These actions work whether you’re in Simple or Advanced UI.

State	Action	Result
Off	1C	On (ramp mode, memorized level)
Off	1H	On (ramp mode, floor level)
Off	2C	On (ramp mode, ceiling level)
Off	3C	Battcheck mode
Off	4C	Lockout mode
Off	13H	Factory reset (on some lights)
Off	15+C	Version check
Ramp	1C	Off

Ramp	2H	Ramp (down)
Ramp	3H	Tint ramping (on some lights)
Ramp	3H	Momentary turbo (on lights without tint ramping)
Ramp	4C	Lockout mode
Lockout	1C/1H	Momentary moon (lowest floor)
Lockout	2C/2H	Momentary moon (highest floor, or manual mem level)
Lockout	4C	On (ramp mode, memorized level)
Lockout	4H	On (ramp mode, floor level)
Lockout	5C	On (ramp mode, ceiling level)
Batt check	1C	Off

A table for only Simple User Interface:

LED and Beam

This is a triple-emitter light – there are three emitters. They are “CSP LED” emitters, and are rated at 4000K.

I am sure there are aluminum versions of the TS10 with RGB secondary emitters, but this is my first TS10 like that. So this has RGB emitters with all sorts of options that you can manage through Andúril (which the tables above should mostly cover.) I’ll add that out of the box, these are very bright!

They are really fantastic emitters.

LED Color Report (CRI and CCT)

Rated at 4000K, the output is in that range for sure. From the lower output (at left) of 3500K to the highest output at around 4200K, 4000K is a good rating, and reasonable. I’m also pleased to say that these CSP emitters are very high CRI!

Beamshots

These beamshots always have the following settings:  f8, ISO100, 0.3s shutter, and manual 5000K exposure. These photos are taken at floor level, and the beam hits the ceiling around 9 feet away.

Tint vs BLF-348 (KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b version) (affiliate link)

I keep the test flashlight on the left and the BLF-348 reference flashlight on the right.

I compare everything to the KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b BLF-348 because it’s inexpensive and has the best tint!

Summary and Conclusion on the Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight

The Wurkkos titanium TS10v2 Mini EDC flashlight is not cheap, just inexpensive. Wurkkos continues to make some of the best value lights available today, and this TS10 is right up there at the top of that list. These CSP LEDs are surprisingly good. Andúril2 is very good. All in all, this is just a great value light (or toy, you decide.) All of that with a titanium body makes this a special little light!

All my Wurkkos reviews!

^ Measurement disclaimer:  Testing flashlights is my hobby. I use hobbyist-level equipment for testing, including some I made myself. Try not to get buried in the details of manufacturer specifications versus measurements recorded here; A certain amount of difference (say, 10 or 15%) is perfectly reasonable.

What I like

• Reasonable cost for titanium
• The titanium options are fun (particularly blue)
• Great build quality
• CSP emitters are both 4000K
• Very high CRI
• Uses Andúril2

What I don’t like

• Secondary emitters drain the 14500 quickly when set to high
• Doesn’t support AA (1.5V) cells
