i just got the wurkkos light. it is pretty bright .. the olight one i got previously was a piece of $ h i T the only thing that the grommit for the water resistant came off and i cannot put it back in because the rubber knob i cannot push it back in to the hole as it seem to be too small trying to manually put it back
The Wurkkos HD11 is one that I was looking into just a few hours ago and it was funny seeing this video come out. That deep clip is also something I want to try. Though despite the interest I would not be getting one since I already have 3 lights and another one (Wurkkos DL16) that will be arriving in a few days. I find the rotating head flashlights interesting, but at the same time can't justify the cost and practically of being a jack of all trades and master of none compared to a dedicated headlamp with an included headband like the HD25L from Wurkkos that's a bit over 8USD compared to the HD11 which costs around 25USD in my country.
The DL16 is very much an impulse purchase haha. Main reason was that I saw it was normally around 21.5USD, but I ended up getting it for 8USD due to vouchers and other things that reduced the price significantly. Secondly I want to try a tail switch flashlight since the ones I have are all side switch models. The lack of internal charging doesn't bother me since a charger comes with the DL16 and lacking a charging mechanism in the body has the benefit of better dust and water protection since at times I use flashlights in rains and storms.
I purchased this light and like it. But, how do you attach the lanyard to it? There are no instructions how. There is no hole in this light to string it thru. Any advice???
I had been eyeing this new model for a couple of days and came to a conclusion that it came to be through brazen decisions, pivoting head flashlight is nothing new yet almost every aspects of the HD11 radiates trade-offs and compromises. Pivoting head forgo some amount of resistance against moisture and fine dust, introduces a mechanical failure point- which is already an issue for a fair amount of unlucky owners whose reporting their HD11's joint loosened considerably just minutes away since unboxing, allegedly reflecting a factory-defect or design oversight. The red emitters aren't advertised as to provide illumination but ones can surmise it's for use like a beacon, hence the extreme beam artifact. E-switch placement is a major facepalm, Wurkkos seemingly prioritized ambidextrous handheld operation by positioning it at the opposite side of the lens when the head is rotated to 90°, but if you were to clip the HD11 onto something like backpack strap for instance the switch will be facing inward and blocked from access, ones can imagine trying to slip a thumb through the gap to operate the light but this is straight-up frustrating design choice.
thanks for the discount code

Definitely an interesting light, especially for utility purposes. I agree about the red light being terrible with those artifacts.

Dang! You got a great deal on that 🤜🤛

Good question. There is a small hole in the clip for the lanyard to thread through.
@@PardonMyEnglishWow, I never saw that
Thanks very much, mystery solved. Great review by the way.
Thanks!
