“I've noticed a few posters with FC11C and myself that received them with badly soldered joints or broken solder joints on the driver.”
“The FC11C is a decent light, though Wurkkos is not 100.0000000% on their QA.”
“Wurkkos FC11C flashlight, comes in handy and gets used everyday because its that simple a device.”
“I overall like the flashlight, but I absolutely detest the magnet in the back, which picks up EVERYTHING metal it goes near.”
“This was my first purchase as a beginner enthusiast. I can see why it's recommended so highly honestly.”
“I have the exact same problem with my FC11C that I got less than 2 weeks ago. It jumps back down to moonlight mode after just a few seconds of use, or refuses to go into a higher mode at all.”
“Got a second FC11C, and this one in green. I have same gripe about the UI. But still, a nice light in a nice size.”
“I couldn't stand feeling the sharp switch underneath the rubber nub so I added cutouts of scrap Lee Zircon filters between the switch and the rubber.”
“I received the 4000K orange model about a week ago and I like it.”
“i've bought like 10 FC11C, none has failed so far, but on those i use personally i do not use type-c...”
“I have a FC11C I bought last year that does this, and yet using that battery in a new FC11C has no problems. It's the strangest and most annoying thing when turbo doesn't work.”
“Great high quality light for $20. Ive never had an issue from a Sofirn/Wurrkos flashlight.”
“the problem I have with my FC11C is sporadic, so hopefully I will manage to record it and send them proof at some point. A second FC11C I received from the same order has been flawless so far.”
“Now when I turned on the FC11c I was amazed at the Nichia 519a's true neutral white tint.”
“a fc11c is about as much flood as I need”
“I also got similiar experience with 2x fc11c, the first one the moonlight stoped working and the 2nd one the ic charger chip failed both with few weeks of usage.”
“if you want a ts26s, just get an fc11c which is far smaller and cheaper. Despite the smaller battery, its better driver allows better runtime and it has more usable lower modes.”
“I have similar results with my 519a 4000k (wurkkos fc11c) and FFL351a 4000k (x4q comet), the rosy FFL is a very pleasant light by itself, but when comparing side by side makes the 519a look really green.”
“The Wurkkos FC11C is great, but no Anduril and imo looks and feels worse than the SC31 Pro. I only use my FC11C with the body of my SC31 Pro”
“I have FC11C Orange with 4000K nichia 519a. One of my favourite!”
“My FC11C has a similar problem. New in December. After the initial charge went down, I charged it yesterday. Green light showed. Unplugged it. Turned it on. When I turn it on, 2 red dots show on the power button.”
“I got the same FC11C setup, I like it, I still prefer my Sofirn SC21 tho, I still haven't found anything that can replace that thing”
“Its an awesome budget flashlight.”
“Ordered one, did not like. No throw, not high powered. Took the body loose from the head, just like you do convoys, never worked right again.”
