100% true. They thought my S6 was a weak compact torchlight. The NM1 proved them wrong

I have no need whatsoever for a stainless steel S6. So 3000K SFT40 or a 519a? 😁

Best Praise

I needed a flashlight for my job and googled "best flashlight reddit" which brought me to broken record bot which told me to get a wurkkos fc11 if I didn't care about flashlight as a hobby. It was just SO MUCH more pleasant to look at the light it produced than any other LED flashlight that I stopped using any other light. Anyway now I've ordered a D3AA hanklight so I guess I'm cooked.

Careful with the FC11C USB charging. Be gentle plugging into it (I don't use the charging onboard) - a bunch of owners and I have had the light go into moonmode only because the board flexes.
