Wurkkos TS23
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Wurkkos TS23 is pretty throwy and has a metallic tail switch.
- TS23 tail clicky extremely bright flood/throw combo would be good choices under $40. Both have moonlight mode for low lumen indoor use. ... TS23 will turn everything into day light up to 500 meters. I would use it if I worked security.
- I've gotten 3 free lights from them. TD07, TS23, and TS26S.
- My picks for good all around lights that have some throw would be the Sofirn SR15 and the Wurkkos TS23. ... The TS23 is definitely a thrower but has a little more spill.
- It's a good light for the price. I am happy with mine. I wrote a thorough review of it somewhere but suffice it to say it punches above its price point. I think the UI is actually great, with only minor quirks that are eaaily learned.
Cons
- I’m debating between spending $130-150 on a Fenix PD35v3/TK16v2 or a Wurkkos TS22/23 (or maybe a Sofirn SC33).
- The biggest turn off is the rear e switch. No thanks. If I'm going to have a rear switch, it needs a momentary mode. Size. It's pretty big compared to a ts22
- However, it’s also got a cold CCT and a basic UI which doesn’t tick many boxes for the core of this subreddit—small flashlights with custom UIs, warm CCT, high CRI are what’s sought after around here.
- Large head and generally larger size => no longer easily pocketable while having the same output, no CCT choice, tail switch, it is more throwy making it worse general purpose light.

Because of the easy to use tailswitch it now stays on my nightstand for emergency use in the middle of the night. It's a great general purpose light for around the house and anything short of about 75 yards.
However, it’s also got a cold CCT and a basic UI which doesn’t tick many boxes for the core of this subreddit—small flashlights with custom UIs, warm CCT, high CRI are what’s sought after around here.
It’s better than 95% of the junk you see on Amazon or Aliexpress, and enthusiasts here would certainly recommend it over any of those “flashlights”. ... You’ll have one of the best flashlights on Amazon/Ali for the money.
