Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Added build target for Wurkkos TS26 Anduril.
- Wurkkos did it. They fixed the ts26.
- As you can see the X4 Stellar is smaller than the TS26
- I had high hopes for this flashlight, and when I finally got to testing it, I can confidently say it turned out better than I thought. ... I really like the TS26 host. Moreover, the TN3535 LEDs really woke it up: Improving the beam dista...
- Overall, this flashlight left mostly positive impressions, even though it has a few small quirks, like the cold emitters. ... I'd recommend buying this flashlight if you're looking for a well-made, efficient EDC flashlight.
Cons
- I was considering this, but the initial reviews put me off it... Too inefficient (judging from the sustained brightness - unless they just set a very low temp ceiling), too high moonlight, and some weird driver design choices.
- This new one still has the same problem that prevented the initial release - it doesn't have a moonlight mode. Most anduril lights offer sublumen moonlight but the TS26 had a flicker issue due to the driver. The moonlight on this version...
- Man, sad to hear the negatives of this light. The aesthetics and price are fantastic but ultimately knowing the drawbacks it feels compromised to the point where I wont buy it, which sucks.
- I've got this flashlight and had a lot of difficulty with the interface. About 50% of the time, it seems to get stuck in lockout mode and no number of clicks will remove it from that mode. I ended up having to unscrew the battery to rese...
- It's an ok light, but I got lost with the advanced features and the inability to cancel out of some modes. Perhaps they should have included another button for RGBs.

This new one still has the same problem that prevented the initial release - it doesn't have a moonlight mode. Most anduril lights offer sublumen moonlight but the TS26 had a flicker issue due to the driver. The moonlight on this version is 6 lumens which is ... not very low.

Man, sad to hear the negatives of this light. The aesthetics and price are fantastic but ultimately knowing the drawbacks it feels compromised to the point where I wont buy it, which sucks.
I've got this flashlight and had a lot of difficulty with the interface. About 50% of the time, it seems to get stuck in lockout mode and no number of clicks will remove it from that mode. I ended up having to unscrew the battery to reset it.
It's an ok light, but I got lost with the advanced features and the inability to cancel out of some modes. Perhaps they should have included another button for RGBs.
So it's a 700 lumen flashlight with unusable low-light modes. Hard pass
I don't see any objective basis to score the TS26 above the TS26s so that's why I brought up the score.
