TS23 Tactical Flashlight,5000 High Lumens Rechargeable Flashlight,70.3 HI LED 482M Attack Head LED Flashlights,IP68 Waterproof Flashlights for Emergency,Repair,Camping,Hiking

TD03: This light is a joy to use. The rotary tail switch may be a bit polarizing to some people but, I find it really easy to use though, one-handed use can be a bit problematic for some people. I find I generally use both hands when rotating the mode selection rotary. The rotary is very intuitive so, no need to remember how much button clicks, fast or slow clicks, etc. to select the mode you want. BRILLIANT! The quality of this flashlight is among the best. You may argue a different brand has a feature this one doesn't but, in terms of build quality, fit and finish, etc., it is among the very best when compared to flashlights costing much more. The beam quality is great. It has a great throw for lighting up distant objects and is easily adjusted for less illumination when walking your dog or looking for something dropped in your yard or the trunk of a car. The size of this flashlight is great! It is not too big or too small. Being bigger means it won't get hot as fast as other flashlights but, it still small enough to be carried similar to a large size marker like you see with dry erase boards. In my case, I carried it a pocket in my carpenter blue jeans for a few weeks were I complete forget I had with me because of its small size but, BANG there it is everytime I needed a light! Overall, a great flashlight at a very moderate price that is affordably priced compared to most flashlights in the market. TS23: This light is an awesome one for a modest cost! My previous favorite in this size is over twice as expensive and this one is just as good! The size is easily pocketable so super handy to take a nighttime walk or when you let your dog out at night. It has a lot of throw for lighting up distant objects but, is still usable for close up needs at lower illumination levels. It has a very good beam as well that is even and without artifacts. The fit and finish are very high and is consistent with flashlights easily twice as expensive. The User Interface is easy to use and is very intuitive for me. I throw it in the pocket of my blue jeans frequently and find the size not to be a problem for me but it is noticeable. The size of this flashlight means it heats slower than a lot of flashlights. The head size is great balance for long distance throw while providing a great flood for situational awareness and finding things dropped or lost that aren't in the part of the beam. Overall a great pick for someone needing a lot of light that will reach distant objects while still being usable for something close. The beam itself easily competes with my more more expensive flashlights. The beam is very even and is without artifacts. Simply awesome and at a great price too!

The Wurkkos TS23 flashlight is one of my favorite lights. I have many lights from various brands and I will say that Wurkkos makes a very solid, well designed line of lights. I have numerous Wurkkos models that are of the smaller size. The TS23 is one of the larger ones that I have, but it's probably my favorite because of its features. First, it's got an internal mechanism that protects the battery and helps to absorb heat and physical shock.. Second is the switch which is on the tailcap. I like it better than the usual side button type which can sometimes be difficult to find in the dark. It's got 6 output levels and on turbo, it's highest level, it's crazy bright. It's kind of between a spot and flood light as far as the beam goes. More toward a flood light, it lights up a large area. Personally I prefer my lights to be more of a spot light which is why I own a pair of TS11 compact flashlights. But this one makes up for the lack of a spot light with its sheer brightness. I got the 6000k version which is more of a whiter light because this is what I prefer. It's available in 5000k as well. The head is about 1.5 inches wide and it's about 5 &1/4 inches in length. Definitely small enough to carry in your pocket, but you probably won't want to carry a light of this size as an EDC light unless you carry it on your belt. I saw one review that said the tail cap is not removable.. Wrong.. The tail cap is kinda hard to unscrew, but it definitely does come off. However, because of the mechanism they have around the battery, which is a 21700 size, the battery is difficult to get out from the tail end. You can't just grab it, it's level with the end of the light body, and it won't fall out even holding it upside down and shaking it. It's a whole lot easier to just unscrew the body from the head if you want to remove the battery for whatever reason. You can charge it with the USB C cable that comes with the light. You can also charge your phone or whatever you have by using the light as a battery bank. As I mentioned, it's got 6 light output levels, and it has a very nice strobe that will definitely blind anyone in the dark if you use this light as a self defense light along side your EDC weapon! It also has SOS and an extremely bright beacon feature that is sure to cut through fog or rough weather. The TS23 is one light you'll want to have with you if you're in a situation that a good light will help you get through. The 21700 battery gives you a lot of usage time on a full charge. You shouldn't need to use this light on its brightest setting unless you need to light up a large area, and even then one of the mid levels should be sufficient, and using on the lower levels gives you hours of usage time.. The light is supposedly waterproof, and it's got 4 tiny titanium balls on the head which is supposed to help break car window glass. I'm not going to test it, and I'm not going to stick the light in a bucket of water to see if water gets I into it. I'll take Wurkkos word for it and hope they're right. But as you can tell by now, this is a great light to have whatever your situation. You can easily light up signs on the highway if you need to see them from a distance or in increment weather too. It's crazy bright for a little flashlight. A little pricey, but if you're going to spend a little bit more for a good light, this is the one to get! And the green one is pretty cool looking too!

[Disclaimer: I received this light at no cost for review, but the opinions shared are my own and are not influenced by Wurkkos] Briefly, the TS23 is another good bang-for-buck light from Wurkkos, no fancy features but very bright and well built. A good choice for a moderately throwy light with that doesn't need to be pocketed. Various notes I've gathered while testing it: The box is very nice, came with a wrist strap, USB type-A to C charging cable, and two replacement o-rings. The light itself is hefty for its size, and feels well constructed. The anodizing is quality enough, and the silicone USB flap feels durable. The UI of the light is simple and easy to learn, Anduril 2 it is not. The included manual has a nice UI flowchart, and the four stepping modes + moonlight and turbo are evenly distributed across the brightness range. I did not notice any PWM flicker in the moonlight mode. The tailswitch feels much better than the TS10 switch, and there is plenty bezel around it for the light to tail stand. The tailcap is non-removable, the battery can be accessed by unscrewing the head. The included battery is a Wurkkos 21700 5000mAh li-ion, the same as in a TS25, and arrived half charged. The battery indicator light is nicely set into the light, with a translucent plastic window that is well embedded into the aluminium body. From a completely dead battery (light turned off from LVP), the light took slightly under three hours to charge using the internal charger (which, as a side, has no light-as-a-powerbank capability). In the turbo mode, this light takes much more time to become too hot to hold than my other lights, mainly due to it having more mass to dump heat into. I can easily hold it for 5 minutes in turbo, and it holds a pretty consistent brightness too. The beam is perfectly fine for a tactical-style light, with the crenelated bezel making the beam have a slightly square shape to it. The beam is definitely cool white, but is not particularly green tinted. There's no ugly haloing around the edges of the hotspot or the beam. My only complaints in the week I've used this light is that the moonlight mode isn't very dim, while fine for nighttime walks it's too bright for midnight bathroom trips; and that the pocket clip is too small for the size of the light. The clip doesn't feel like it would hold the light in my pocket well, and it is definitely not long enough to deep carry the light. This doesn't bother me very much, however, because the light is (in my opinion) too big for EDC carry, and wouldn't need to stay in a pocket all day. So, yeah! Another great light from Wurkkos! If you need a durable, simple, bright flashlight, this would be a great choice. Unlike some lights sold that advertise hundreds of thousands of lumens, but only deliver a hundred, Wurkkos's lights definitely hit their specified lumen outputs!

By my math, this is my thirteenth wurkkos flashlight, and latest addition to my collection of over 60 enthusiest grade LED flashlights. Most of my lights are geneal purpose lights, for dog walking or camping duties. However there is one particular use I am most interested in: A mountain biking helmet light. It's here that I spend hours searching for ideal lights to suit nighttime riding. And in this regard, the Wurkkos TS23 is a strong contender. For a thrower style light, the head isn't terribly big. Though it is big enough that you wouldnt want to keep this in your pocket all day and an EDC option. But for grabbing it off the night stand, or out of the drawer, its a fine size and shape. Its a bit heavier than most of my other grab and go lights, and certainly heavier than most of my helmet lights. There's a single button (e-switch) on the tailcap, which feels a bit loose, but being metal, it should prove to be durable. The almost rattley button is my only cirticism as far as fit and finish, as the rest of the light seems flawless to my eyes and hands. There's a covered USB charge port, and a small status LED on the head. It also has springs on both sides of the battery which helps eliminate dropouts when violently shaken - something the TS22 notably lacks. For general purpose use, the turbo setting is quite bright, and has TONS of throw. I don't particularly love 6500K color temps, but they do seem to offer the best output. I dont find anything off-putting as far as the CRI, and its good enough to discern most major color variations to my eyes. The beam hotspot is approx 15º, which makes it tight enough to give plenty of throw, but the orange-peel reflector still gives a substantial flood over closer proximity. The hotspot is somewhat diffuse, and blends nicly into the spill much better than most throwers do. The flood isnt quite as wide or as well lit as my TS22s are, but its got TONS more throw. Turbo mode starts to throttle down after a minute or so of use. High mode doesnt seem to throttle for 5 or 10 minutes, and when it does, you'd be hard pressed to tell there's much change. High mode is still incredibly bright, and a single cell flashlight has no business being able to maintain this level of illumination for multiple hours, but sure enough it does, thanks to a 5000 mah 21700 cell and efficient 6v boost driver. For mountain bike riding, this light has tons of throw. Its much more suited towards faster riding where you need good visibility of what lies further down the trail. The TS22 might have it beat for slower tech riding, where the floody wall of light really excells. But for quicker paced riding, the tighter hotspot is a welcome change. The narrow beam's throw and output feel more on par to my dedicated two-piece bike light, a kaidomain KDx2 with (heavy) external battery pack. The TS23 spill still provides adequate close distance illumination - though its bolstered by a discreet handlebar light, which I always use in conjunction with the helmet light. Regardless, the TS23 doesnt leave me wanting for more spill like a sofirn if22a does. Both the beam and hotspot feel nearly identical to my Convoy S21e xhp50.3, another of my favorte lights to ride with. But in this case, the TS23 easily bests the convoy in terms of sustained output. The TS23 held a very usable output range for nearly three hours before turning off, while the s21e held nearly the same level for only 2:15 before throttling down considerably. I didnt notice any drastic reduction in power before the TS23 shut off, so not much warning. The Convoy S21e, on the other hand, continues to give several more hours of light at approx 150 lm, which is enough to get you out of the woods if you dont carry a spare battery. While I've not yet taken this light on a ride long enough to exhaust the battery completely, my own testing as well as online runtime charts show a very usable curve on high mode, maintaining approx 900 lumens output for an 1-3/4 hours before dropping down to 500 lumens for an additional 1 hour. This is wonderful. And I really like the output spacing much more than the TS22, where I found high to blow through the battery too quickly, and medium mode to not be bright enough. With the TS23, the high mode seems situated perfectly. If my ride lasts longer than two hours, my legs arent pushing at a speed that needs more than 500 lumens. Having the ability to ride for 3 hours from a single cell is nothing short of amazing. My only concern, which cannot be tested in the summer months, is if the cooler fall and winter temps will keep the flashlight from thermally throttling - thereby blowing through the battery much quicker at higher output levels. The TS22 is succeptible to this, and I find myself fiddling with ramp mode to try to compensate. If the TS23 behaves similarly, I'll have to drop it down to medium mode for the colder seasons. So there you have it. The TS23 seems to have struck a perfect combination of throw, spill, output and efficiency. Its got far more throw than my TS22. Far more output and efficiency than my Convoy S21e. And is far less cumbersome than a two-piece dedicated bike light. It comes at the cost of much cooler 6500K color temps, and about 50% more weight than the other lights, which can be quite noticeable resting atop one's helmet. But it's few drawbacks may be forgiven, more often than not, considering how well suited its throw and spill characteristics are, its well positioned output modes, and its overall output and efficiency. I have a feeling this light is going to spend a lot of time ripping through the woods in the coming months.

I have own several Wurkkos lights as they are quickly becoming the go to brand for enthusiast flashlights at an excellent price, with great build quality. The TD03 is no exception. In a tactical light, the most important functions are an easy to use interface with quick shortcuts to maximum brightness and/or strobe. This like has both. The interface of the TD03 is a rotary knob along with a switch. The knob rotates into 3 positions: off, stepped mode, toggled turbo. The switch acts as a mode changer in the 2 modes or as a quick shortcut to strobe when held down. The tint and brightness of the light come from a SFT40 emitter in 5000K, a very useful neutral tint. The beam pattern is very ideal with moderate amounts of throw and spill. I do not have specialize equipment, so I was unable to verify the lumen claims but it does seem to be similar to other lights rated in this lumen range. The build quality of the light is excellent with a high quality and durable finish. The knob and switch give very positive feedback so you can be sure your moving or pressing even when wearing gloves. All in all, I was very impressed with the light and it meets my expectations that I have come to expect from Wurkkos. I would highly recommend their lights and especially the TD03 for anyone looking for a tactical or EDC style light.

Pros: The Wurkkos TS23 is a great all-around flashlight for walking, hiking, and camping, however there are some aspects of the flashlight that I'd like to see improved. The TS23 is a single-cell 21700 flashlight that feels very comfortable and ergonomic in the hand, with excellent build quality and IP68 waterproofing. It also uses a large XHP70.3 LED emitter with an orange peel reflector and a boost driver, and has an on-board USB-C charging port near the tail cap. It has decent flood and excellent, long-distance throw with a very diffuse hotspot at longer distances, and it can sustain a high level of brightness for long periods of time. The user interface (UI) is also simple, with one click of the button to turn the flashlight on/off, and holding in the button to cycle through the four main brightness levels. It also includes a lanyard, spare o-rings, and a 2-way pocket clip. Cons: My biggest complaint about the flashlight is that there is no stepless (ramping) brightness mode. Also, the power button is located on the tailcap, which makes it more difficult to operate with one hand compared to a side switch. The XHP70.3 led emitter is also lower CRI, and the TS23 will probably be too big and heavy to everyday carry (EDC) in a pants pocket. I also prefer to loosen the head or tail cap of a flashlight when not in use to prevent accidental activation or parasitic battery drain, and loosening the head of the TS23 doesn't disconnect the battery (however there is a lockout mode). I very much like this flashlight overall as a thrower for walking, hiking, and camping, however there are some aspects that I'd like to see improved/implemented (side power switch, stepless (ramping) dimming, high CRI LED, loosen head to disconnect battery).

In a nutshell: upon arrival, the TS23 immediately became my brightest light, by a fair amount, and yet not the largest light I own. The beam tint appears to be in the 6000k+ range as advertised, so it's definitely on the "bright white" end of the spectrum, but without getting into the harsh blue spectrum. The beam pattern is focused on a very hot center spot, and as a result it throws pretty well. On higher brightness settings, however, there's still enough spill that you get a decent (but dimmer) flood pattern as well. Size-wise, it's definitely too large to be a pocketable light for, but even still, it's more comfy to carry and use than the extremely thick "coke can" style lights. It's the right size to keep in a backpack or glovebox, or on a shelf or in a drawer near the door, for when you need to see what just went bump in the night in your backyard. The UI is not as customizable as Anduril, but that also makes it a bit easier to understand if you aren't interested in memorizing a multi-layered menu system. The tail button is large and responds positively to inputs. The overall construction is very good, with clean threading and nice, large o-rings. I haven't tried dunking it, but the IP68 rating is nice insurance if I get caught out in the rain with it. On-board USB-C charging is convenient as always, as is the visual charge level indicator. My only quibble is that I tend to prefer a magnetic tailcap, but this light is just big and heavy enough that trying to mount it to metal surfaces may not be that feasible anyway. In my video I demonstrate the simple one-click ON/OFF cycle (which I believe goes to your last-used regular brightness level), then I cycle through the regular brightness levels by holding the tailcap down, then finally I demonstrate the turbo mode by double-clicking. Summary: I'm really pleased with this light and I think it's likely to become my new favorite for nighttime walks in the neighborhood, with the non-fumbly UI allowing me to walk with a dimmer setting and then blast straight to turbo mode if I need to announce my presence to passing vehicles. Very solid light all around with a great blend of brightness, manageable size, runtime, and build quality.

The Wurkkos TS23 Tactical Flashlight is an impressive piece of equipment that stands out in the crowded market of high-performance flashlights. One of the standout features is its metal tail switch, which feels much more durable and premium than rubber or plastic alternatives. The modes are intuitive to use, with just four rapid clicks to lock or change from "outdoor" to "tactical." The Outdoor mode functions as a regular torch, with easily adjustable brightness settings. In tactical mode, the full-brightness turbo is truly impressive. The light produces a massive flood of illumination, so bright that you might even consider wearing sunglasses at night due to the intense reflection off close surfaces. This compact flashlight is small enough for everyday carry (EDC) yet powerful enough for self-defense and deterrence. One of the most striking features of the Wurkkos TS23 is its super bright 5000-lumen output. This level of brightness ensures a clear view of your surroundings, no matter how dark the environment. Whether you're camping in the wilderness, hiking through dense forests, or need a reliable light source during a power outage, this flashlight delivers consistent, high-intensity light. The TS23 boasts a tactical design that not only looks sleek but also feels sturdy and reliable. Its durable construction means it can withstand rough handling and harsh conditions, making it perfect for tactical use, outdoor activities, and emergency preparedness. The ergonomic grip and convenient size make it easy to handle and carry, ensuring that it’s always ready when you need it. Designed with user convenience in mind, the flashlight features multiple brightness settings, allowing you to adjust the intensity of the light based on your specific needs. The easy-to-use interface ensures you can quickly switch between modes, whether you need a blindingly bright beam or a softer, more energy-efficient light. Equipped with a Wurkkos 18650 battery, it offers long-lasting performance, ensuring you’re not left in the dark when you need light the most. The flashlight’s efficient power management means you get maximum usage out of each charge, making it reliable for extended outings and prolonged use.
