I'm pretty sure I ordered a TD04 and a Sofirn SP35T after binge watching this presentation five times and ended up pretty much enlightened. ☺️ The Wurkkos is more refined than its Sofirn counterpart. It has a moonlight mode and anti reflective glass which the SP35T lacks. 🔦👍🏼

Each new flashlight brings you one step closer to enlightenment 😂 it's interesting as I think Sofirn are the ones who actually make the light under Wurkkos' specifications...

The point you made about getting strobe in tactical mode is a very valid one - I had the same problem and will say that with very little practice it becomes a reflex action and can be accessed in a split second 100% of the time. This u.i is very simple and well thought out - I love it.

I read an article discussing the effectiveness of strobe, some say it's more disorientating than constant on, some also say it can affect the person operating the light too. I find it doesn't do much to me, but I've played with lights constantly with strobe on so used to it I guess.

@@DarrenYeoYT I walk my dog mainly at night and oncoming cars that will not dip their high beams always dip when they see that you have strobe. Also, loose dogs will not interact with my dog during daylight when I use strobe. Glad to say that no car drivers have suffered an epileptic fit yet.

That is a Self Defense light I would recommend to anyone. It is Wurrkos's version of the Sofirn SP35T- Identical UI- which is the reason I have been such a fan of the SP35T. Size and power are also pretty much identical. Beam profile looks to very similar also - The SP35T uses an XHP50B vs the XHP50D HI in TD04. These larger hotspot lights are much easier to hit both eyes of an up close assailant than the tight beam of an SFT40. I really like the looks of the TD04, I am going to grab one

Was surprised at how bright it was. Would have been nice if they got a SMO reflector to work with this light but probably would have been difficult to focus.

Hi Darren. Great review, as always. Do you think it is a better flashlight than the tactical ones with 18650 battery FC12, TD05 or TD03? The price difference is just 5USD but although it has less range due to the LED it mounts, it is true that it has better battery life, being larger. Greetings from Spain and thanks for your time and your videos.

I think the TD04 is better if you need more battery capacity, output. It'd be more efficient in producing light as well. But yeah, it's a bit larger, beam is also not as throwy as some other SFT40 lights with SMO reflector. Hope that helps mate.

Just commenting for the referral. But you make great videos don't listen to annoying bad opinions. I've owned the fc12 (probably king of budget throwing light) for a year now and I was very disappointed to not fund something that efficient as a EDC/self-defense compact good for everything. I've hesitate to take this one and then finally took the td03. Will receive it in about 2 weeks but would love to see you try it. Also if I might have a suggestion, it would be nice if you made testing on multiple distances especially 3-6 meters to simulate a use in a self-defense situation. Thanks for your shares 😊

My only issue with the TD03 is that the rotary magnetic tailcap will turn on in the presence of a strong magnet 🧲. I have all of the Wurkkos TD series lights & the TD04 & TD01 are my most used ones.

What i like about the TD04 is that you can run it at a higher light output than an 18650 size flashlight without generally heat & draining the battery quickly. I find myself carrying the TD04 the most out of the Wurkkos Tactical series.

Olight is generally a good quality brand but it has proprietary recharging on most models. More expensive too. If you're after quality and performance, there's many brands that are good - Fenix, Nextorch, Nitecore, even budget ones like Convoy.

You didn't mention if you're in tactical mode if you're still able to access moonlight mode. Judging by the ui though probably it just starts on medium from off if you hold the side switch and then turn on the light. Is this the case or do we get a moonlight inside tactical mode? This ui seems identical to the TD01C ui which is a bummer cause in this ui you can't use the tail button for 2 short signals cause as soon as you half press twice it goes straight to strobe with the first press rendering turbo like the Sofirn C8L does. Is this the case with this light as well?
@DarrenYeoYT

Hey mate, moonlight mode works from tactical mode too using the method you described. I also find the two short presses doesn't always activate strobe, you have to time it, which is annoying. But I'm happy it will go to turbo everytime. Even if you switch it to medium and turn back on.

@@DarrenYeoYT What i meant was if you do 2 fast half presses do you see turbo on the first press before getting to strobe? Or in the first half press it doesn't do anything and in the second strobe is activated? This is what the TD01c does. It's so annoying that if you rapidly and lightly half press the switch numerous times because you're doing it fast the light doesn't even light up at all while doing this.

Derren, I'm new to this flashlight game but have already bought too much (you're part of the influence mate..) and they're all on the way, hopefully arriving in 2 weeks. For 21700s and 18650s I got both the fc11 (4000k), fc12 (6500k), convoy s21e (sst40 6500k), and a skilhunt h200 (6500s). The first 3 are what I've gathered from the community that are the recommended ones to newcomers. I'm also pondering on a cyansky p25 v2 which is a great bargain now directly from taobao for roughtly 30usd, but sadly I bought the s21e literally just days before :( Don't wanna buy anymore of the similar ones for similar purposes. I see you take time to reply to comments and you're in this flashlight game with hands on experiences for a long time -- If I were to buy the next flashlight it should probably be a tactical one. What is your most carried and recommended tactical flashlight? I also watched your vids on comparisons between the fenix pd36r, tk20r, the nitecore p23i and the olight x3. I want the best in terms of: Reliability, build quality (that's why I'm not too keen on getting a tactical from sofirn or wurrkos) Easy to carry around And with the best most intuitive operating UI I think it boils down to the the p23i or pd36r? Or are there more nicer offerings if I wait around? Thanks for any suggestions

Hi mate, another consideration would be the Nextorch TA30C Max as it has the most 'tactical' UI - tail shortcut to turbo/strobe, 3000 lumens and superior construction in my opinion. I also made a video of the main tac lights I carry with me: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qYGayoePkIJ3dqQ While I like the P23i, it also has a proprietary battery. So you might want to think about that.
