Looks a bit disappointing, the M2 CULPM1 looks better IMO.

I just bought wurkkos fc13 and it arrived dead. It works if I connect charger but after 6 hours of charging battery still won't turn on without a charge cable.

I bought wurkkos FC13 but I am sending it back because its waterproof rating is a lie and water got inside when I tested it

Got a FC13 6000k and gave it to my brother for Christmas. Cool idea but definitely not a light I wanted.

not tactical tho, why the removed base button

I think the packaging is a bit misleading since the SFT40 only has 2000lm but has a throw of 360 meters

the button seems as difficult to find as in the FC13

Seems they exaggerate not a little but downright porky pies.

Dommage que la lampe chauffe trop.

Would have been a great light, unfortunately, the USB-C port is so narrow, it only accepts Type-C cable that came with it.

I personally don’t think this FC13 is worth it with all 3 versions sustaining 2-300 lumens at the default temp settings.

I would probably eliminate a few of the Wurkkos and Sofirn lights like the sc28, fc13 and ts22 and sp33s

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

I have 3 FC13s. 2 have different leds, I forget which ones exactly (yeah I could look it up) but 1 is brighter, cooler white with a tighter hot spot, and the other is warmer with a more floody beam. Both pretty bright.
