What owners report
Wurkkos HD15R
- ✓Same well-rated HD15 platform: dual emitters, magnetic tailcap, strong build
- ✓USB-C charging in the head at over 2.3A
- ✓Nothing to lose — no cell to misplace or fit incorrectly
- ✓Smaller and lighter than the 21700 HD20
- ✓Good value for the feature set
- ✗Sealed cell — no swapping a fresh one in on a long night
- ✗Finite lifespan: when the battery degrades the light is finished
- ✗Too few brightness levels, as on the removable-cell HD15
- ✗Published runtime figures overstate reality by two to three times
- ✗No Anduril, so the mode spacing can't be reconfigured
