TL;DR
Owners of the Wurkkos TS11 gravitate to the same handful of things: the RGB lighting built into the lens and switch, throw that feels oversized for such a small 18350/18650 body, and a price that most describe as hard to beat. Plenty picked it as their first Anduril light and stuck with it, and several go out of their way to swap in a warmer 2700K or 3000K emitter to make the beam even nicer. A smaller group pushes back on the stock cool-white tint, describing a greenish cast or a visible shift in color at lower brightness levels, and a couple mention occasional Wurkkos quality-control hiccups on this and sibling models. Those gripes stay in the minority though, and most people talking about the TS11 are glad they own one.
78% of 45 verified owners recommend the Wurkkos TS11, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

Who it's for
A great fit if
EDC carriers who want a pocket-sized thrower with real reach
Anduril fans who want ramping UI plus aux and RGB switch lighting
Budget-focused buyers wanting flagship throw and build near 39 euros
Tinkerers who swap 18350, 18650, and 21700 tubes for different runtimes
Look elsewhere if
Tint purists sensitive to green shift at low and mid output
Buyers wary of Wurkkos/Sofirn QC lapses reported on other lights in the line
Anyone who wants a plain switch, since the RGB flow chart menu confuses first-time users

Common questions
What battery does the Wurkkos TS11 use?
One 18350 lithium-ion cell, with Wurkkos giving an operating range of 2.6V to 4.2V. Wurkkos lists the light on its own store as a kit with that 18350 included, and the cell charges inside the light over USB-C at up to 5V and 1A, the indicator glowing red and turning green when it is full. Retail listings vary on whether a cell ships in the box, so it is worth checking the one being bought.
Why do owners put the longer 18650 tube on it?
For runtime and heat, on the account of people who have run both. Wurkkos states that this 18350 model takes the FC11 18650 tube, and sells that tube as a separate accessory rather than putting it in the box. Owners running the long tube describe better thermals and a light they use daily, while the short tube is what keeps the TS11 pocketable at all.
How cool is the stock tint, and can it be changed?
Wurkkos builds the TS11 around a cool white SFT40 emitter listed at 6000K. A smaller group of owners knock that tint, describing a green cast below high and a visible shift at low levels, and some have fitted a warmer 3000K emitter instead. Anyone thinking about that route should know the manual says disassembling the sealed head can damage the light and voids the warranty.
Will Anduril be too much for a first flashlight?
Not on the factory setting. Wurkkos ships the TS11 in the Simple interface, where a click turns it on or off and a hold ramps the brightness, and the full Advanced menu only opens after ten clicks with the last one held. The RGB lens and switch lighting that draws owners to this light is not locked behind that menu: it runs by default, showing cell voltage as a color, and the manual puts aux adjustment on the Simple interface too.
How far does 2000 lumens reach on a light this small?
The ANSI FL1 figures from Wurkkos put the top stepped level at 2000 lumens, 94,750 candela and 616 meters of beam distance. That level does not hold: the specification says turbo steps down to High automatically to prevent overheating, and temperature regulation trims output as the head warms. Reach for the size is what owners single out, and the long tube is how they stretch the brighter modes.
Is the TS11 a lot of light for the money?
Owners think so by a wide margin: 78% of 45 owners recommend it, with 20% neutral and 2% against. The praise gathers on three things, the RGB aux lighting in the lens and behind the switch, the throw relative to the body, and the Anduril interface. The reservation that comes back is the small tube, which limits sustained output until the longer one goes on.

“this T1R Because I had that on the way so I didn't feel like I needed to hold on to it. And anyway if I decide I want one again in the future they aren't that expensive.”

“Makes sense. I prefer using an 18650 in the ts11 tho. Might better ergonomics and mucu better runtimes. Tho you already have the battery. Did you swap the 18650 tube with an fc11 or did get it separately?”

“I have both. IF22A TS11 Beam smaller but more intense hotspot, less spill slightly larger hotspot, brighter spill, much lower moonlight battery 21700 18350, 18650 with extension tube UI and aux non Anduril, no aux Anduril, aux lights”

“Thankfully, she's technically inclined. I will say, the flow charts for the ts11 and the ts10 were a bit of a struggle for me. I'll probably give everyone a rundown of some of the features- but I'm going to recommend most of my family members leave them on the simple UI. (Which is a shame, because disco mode is dope)”
