Useful and clever design puts this offering from Wurkkos ahead of the pack with it’s unique rotating head with automatic switching function from floodlight to spotlight.

Main white LED has 5 levels from a 1 lumen moon up to 1800 lumens (spot/flood mode). With a range of 253 metres is Turbo 1700 lumens spotlight mode.
It also features a stainless steel clip, and a magnetic base which can attach to metal objects and makes for a useful working light.
Power is via a rechargeable 18650 battery, with USB C 5V 2A charging on the main flashlight body, and long run times up to 420 hours in spot/1 lumens moonlight mode.
Solid build quality with 6061 anodised aluminum alloy, with heat greatment to provide a hard coating. IPX8 water and dust resistance, and impact tested to a 1 metre drop
Size is pocket friendly at 132.07mm x 29.5mm (length x head diameter), weight of 92g (with battery) won’t weigh you down.
White Flood/Spotlight and Red Light output
Using a special TIR optical lens you can get an optimal beam profile off the HD11 flashlight.
Thanks to it’s automatic switching you can simple rotate the head 90 degrees to switch from flood to spotlight mode. Spot beam is a tighter 20 degrees angle, with the flood a wider spread of 100 degrees.
In addition to the 5 levels for the main LED you can use spotlight, floodlight or a combined beam of spot + flood for even more flexible light output.
The SFT40 LED is rated to 5000K (near daylight for a neutral white output), and includes Red LEDs for a static of flashing mode (6 lumens each). Useful for night vision preservation.
Simple UI with the single side switch, it also has a mode memory, lockout and has a backlight giving you a LED light for power and charge status.
The body design combines the benefits of a headlamp style body for clipping to a bag or jacket/pocket with a forward facing light, which can be turned into a more traditional flashlight with the 90 degree head rotation.
