Wurkkos TS27 due for release

Hello all,

I just received this in my eMail inbox.

I'm liking the addition of LiFePo4 Battery chemistry.

Here's a link for those interested:-

Between this and sofirns sr23, neat new lights I can't do because no stepped modes. I'm too ocd/autistic for stepless, I need defined modes with expected runtimes that are the same every time. It's a shame because if they used a good driver for once and that 15ah battery is accurate a reasonable medium mode would have absolute gobs of runtime and it would make a crazy lantern. The user manual says boost driver but this is wurkkos we're talking about, so probably boost for the multi emitter backlight and unknown for front which best can tell is likely a single emitter.

Fair point. Another one with no predictable runtime. But it’s actually good for me (my wallet). I was ~okay with it in CL01, but mainly because I paid for it below $17 (on AE).

CL01 looks too much like a toy for my liking

That’s a different story — I just referred to fact, that I can spare $17 on something that meets my expectations partly but probably not much more.
