- ✓Illuminated switch that makes it findable in the dark
- ✓USB-C charging that works well, with solid Wurkkos build quality
- ✓Ramps from a genuine moonlight up to a large output
- ✗Anduril 2 is less approachable than the FC11's conventional interface

- ✓USB-C charging in the head at over 2.3A
- ✓Strong magnetic tailcap for hands-free use off the band
- ✓Two emitters plus an 18350 tube included in the box
- ✓Smaller and lighter than the 21700 HD20 while keeping the same idea

- ✗The head strap is ordinary
- ✗No Anduril, so the mode spacing can't be reconfigured
