“I've noticed a few posters with FC11C and myself that received them with badly soldered joints or broken solder joints on the driver.”— coffeeshopslut on Reddit
“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.”— Best-Iron3591 on Reddit
“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.”— Installed64 on Reddit
“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.”— Dvsv01 on Reddit
“Fc11c has shitty ramping ui and you cant find side button which is annoying. Had to learn button placement in relation to pocket clip.”— User_9101 on Reddit
“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.”— dunncrew on Reddit
“Not only does the Wurkkos run much hotter during use, but also has a lower turbo output that it can't even reach with the included battery.”— @R1NR4N on YouTube
“I recently bought a Wurkkos FC11c, and a FireFlyLite X4 Stellar. Both brand new, both have USB C charging, and both didn’t work upon arrival.”— Nichia519 on Reddit
“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.”— Appropriate_Cash_855 on Reddit
“the problem with these lights and the reason i'd never suggest them is that some people, including myself cant find the switch button.”— s4ngreal on Reddit
“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.”— redditnforget on Reddit
“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.”— Optiblue on Reddit
Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“a fc11c is about as much flood as I need”— TommyWitDaMaxx on Reddit
“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.”— LightSwitchTurnedOn on Reddit
“I have the FC11C, the thrunite T1s, Archer Mini, and wuben c3. Oddly the thrunite archer mini is brighter than the FC11C. I just need more throw.”— Alexstankie on Reddit
“I have both but use the HD10 the most but it doesn't have as good battery life as the FC11C”— -The_Swed- on Reddit
“It is a solid piece of kit. Was also considering the FC11C but decided to go with the Sofirn SP31 v3.”— Ok_Management8894 on Reddit
