Well, it's the same flashlight, only with poor light and Anduril UI. A weak magnet, a clip that isn't very convenient to use, and other features you're familiar with.
"Moonlight" is bright enough to light the path in the park. At this brightness, the light really does resemble a full moon. If the brightness is higher, however, the light appears distinctly pale and gray.
It's worth noting that when using dome-less emitters, you'll get a doughnut-shaped hotspot (519a DD, xpl hi).
Overall, this flashlight is really cool, and you won’t find anything like it for ±$35. Fireflies and Emissars cost twice as much.
Great work, Wurkkos. Now I just need to figure out which LEDs to swap in😁

How pocketable would you say it is?
Wurkkos used to sell the TS25 for 25 bucks.
Which, except for the driver, was a superior flashlight to the TS26 A (lets call it A).
High CRI, 5000K, a less green tint on the 519As back then, smaller, no rubber button, same features otherwise.
I still do not get what enthusiasts are supposed to be doing with low CRI, positive DUV and high CCT in combination with Anduril and RGB and all that stuff.
Sure, they did stuff like this in the past too, with the god awfully looking TS21. But that thing at least at the size going for it.
What does the TS26A have going for it other than RGB (which you will disable once you get over it) at the price point?
Well okay I personally prefer the clip of the TS26 series to most clip, but then, I have not once used a clip so what do I know.
But in the end, its a tube with a button that makes it glow. Not sure why Im so disappointed as there are many other options and Im sure SOMEONE will really like this exact light just the way it is being sold.
