Best Praise

+74 pts

“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.”
