Wurkkos TS11 Review – Compact 18350 Thrower with Andúril 2

I’ve been carrying the Wurkkos TS11 with the SFT40 emitter for a while now and wanted to share some impressions. For a compact 18350 light, it’s surprisingly capable, combining strong throw, versatile user control, and excellent build quality in a pocketable package.

⸻

Build quality and design

The TS11 is constructed from 6061 aluminum, giving it a solid, premium feel without excessive weight. At 89.5–90 mm in length with a 40 mm head diameter and weighing only 90 g without the battery, it is very comfortable to carry daily.

Machining is excellent: the threads are cleanly cut and lightly lubricated, providing smooth and precise operation. The rubberized side switch is responsive and easy to operate, even with gloves or in colder conditions. The light is IP68-rated, ensuring reliable performance in wet or dusty environments.

Emitter and beam profile

Equipped with the SFT40 LED (6000–6500K) and a TIR lens, the TS11 produces a well-defined hotspot with moderate spill. This gives it notable throw for its size, making it suitable for both targeted illumination and general navigation. It leans more toward throw than flood but remains versatile for everyday carry.

Output levels

The TS11 offers eight brightness levels, carefully spaced to suit a variety of scenarios:

• A1 – Moonlight: 1 lm | 13 m | 20 cd | 9 h

• B2 – Low: 41 lm | 28 m | 192 cd | 4 h

• C3 – Mid-low: 15 lm | 56 m | 785 cd | 30 h

• D4 – Mid: 45 lm | 95 m | 2262 cd | 10.5 h

• E5 – Mid-high: 110 lm | 154 m | 5925 cd | 4.1 h

• F6 – High: 300 lm | 245 m | 14950 cd | 2.3 h

• G7 – Turbo: 740 lm | 385 m | 37150 cd | 2 h

• H8 – Max Turbo: 2000 lm | 616 m | 94750 cd | 0.8 h

Turbo modes (G7/H8) deliver remarkable peak intensity, with H8 reaching a throw of over 600 meters. For everyday use, D4 and E5 strike an ideal balance between brightness, heat, and runtime. The moonlight mode (A1) is very practical for close-up tasks or maintaining night vision.

Battery and electrical specs

The TS11 runs on a 1100 mAh 18350 Li-ion cell, keeping the platform compact while still enabling strong output. Electrical efficiency is solid, and standby drain is minimal. USB-C charging is supported via the included USB-A to USB-C cable, making top-ups convenient and fast.

⸻

User interface and practical features

The TS11 features the Andúril 2 interface with auxiliary LEDs. This provides precise control over ramps, modes, and strobe functions. While the interface is highly configurable, it may take a first-time user a short adjustment period to fully master its range of functions. Once familiar, it offers unparalleled flexibility for different lighting situations.

Other practical features:

• Magnetic tailcap for hands-free work on metallic surfaces

• Two-way stainless steel clip suitable for pocket or gear attachment

• Lightweight and compact design makes it excellent as an everyday carry light

Accessories

Included in the package are:

• USB-A to USB-C charging cable

• Lanyard

• Spare O-rings

• User manual

These essentials make it ready to use out of the box.

Conclusion

The Wurkkos TS11 is a highly capable compact EDC light that delivers strong throw, versatile user control, and excellent build quality in a very portable package. With a peak output of 2000 lumens and a throw of up to 616 meters, it outperforms most other lights in the 18350 category.

Combined with IP68 weatherproofing, a solid magnetic tailcap, a two-way clip, and the Andúril 2 interface, the TS11 is versatile enough for everyday use, outdoor adventures, or more specialized tasks.
