I review the Wurkkos HD01. This is a do-it-all flashlight with a few features I've never seen before on a light. Find out more in my video.

Wurkkos HD01 Video Transcript:
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• So the HD01 is something completely different to what Wurkkos have produced in the past. It's a far stretch from their traditional tube-style lights. The HD01 follows the lead of other rectangular-style flashlights like the Olight Arkfield Pro or Nitecore EDC27… however, it's more budget-friendly. It's packed full of features, some of which I've never seen in a flashlight before.
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel and reflector
• Construction is high quality and feels durable. The rectangular design fits nicely in any pocket and is machined well, without any rough spots or inconsistencies. Wurkkos has used a grippy, matt black anodizing that is similar to what they used on the TD01 - I really like this finish, feels more durable and of higher quality. Double-sided clip - rigid. Two metal buttons, also act as battery indicator.
• Wurkkos refers to spot LED as 'HM' which may refer to the LatticePower HM-3535 LED. Flood light: 16x CSP1313 LEDs, 15x RGB LEDs. 1 green laser module. The laser and spot beam are found under the head. Spot beam uses a TIR lens. The flood and RGB LEDs are found on the side + white diffuser.
• Non-replaceable 1200mAh lithium polymer cell.
UI - modes
• Top button:
○ One click for laser.
○ Hold for RGB ramping. Hold again to change colors. Double press for flashing.
○ Two clicks - floodlight on. Hold for LMH
○ Three clicks - RGB effects mode on - double press for red/blue flash, RGB waterfall, droplets
○ Four clicks (lock/unlock)
○ Five clicks - breathing switch on/off
• Bottom button:
○ Hold for moonlight
○ One click - memory mode - hold for LMH
○ Two clicks - turbo mode
○ Three clicks - strobe mode
○ Four clicks - lock/unlock
Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• Ceiling bounce test, CRI, CCT
• Surprisingly intense spot beam. The flood beam is very useful for short-range applications. It's also high CRI!
Considerations
• Non-replaceable battery. I also don't see any screws on the case that would allow me to open it up. Unless the tail clip is connected to the end of the case.
• Laser easily activated by mistake. I would put the laser under a triple click.
• Some may say RGB modes (raindrop, waterfall) are not necessary but I like them as they can be used for background video effects when streaming. The general RGB light is super useful.
Verdict
Wurkkos has done a great job with their first version of a rectangular-style light - despite the inbuilt battery, it's one of the most versatile flashlights that I own - it's a great value option if you're looking for an all-in-one flashlight that you can fit in your bag or pocket easily and access both throw and flood beams in a small package. The RGB light is one of those things I didn't really appreciate until I had one!

I've been super happy with this one. Just wish they had a version for like $10 more that included a good 365nm UV.

Yeah that would have sealed the deal, especially when compared to the Olight Arkfield.

I'm sure they could incorporate one but it'd be another step on that rotating dial :D

Lol, you uploaded this video yesterday and it's unavailable on Amazon with the link you provided. I guess you just picked a super popular product to review?

Great video. Maybe the strobe would be good for backpacking so others can see you.
